a special award
A special purchase will be made from the Juried Show for the Anderson Arts Center's Permanent Collection to honor the memory of Callie Stringer Rainey and her contribution to the arts.
merit awards
Merit awards are bestowed by the Juror in recognition of excellence in the visual arts. They are generously donated by Anderson Arts Center supporters seeking to purely reward artists for their talent.
purchase awards
Purchase Awards have varied interpretations and to avoid confusion, we want to address this aspect of the show. Regardless of the price of your work, the designated amount will be awarded if your piece is chosen by the donor. A 35% commission will not be charged by the Anderson Arts Center. Therefore, it is not necessary to raise or lower the price of the piece of work if you wish to be considered. Several sales opportunities will be offered, so please consider this when pricing your piece. Mark the approiate squre on the attached cards if your piece is available for Purchase Award.
