Ceramics, jewelry, paintings, and other fine arts make wonderful Mother’s Day and Graduation presents, and the All Fired Up Spring Exhibition and Sale has just what you need for that special gift. The Roxie Remley Center for Fine Arts (31 East Vine St.) will be turned into a shopper’s paradise on April 27th-29th as the Averitt Center Visual Arts Department and Georgia Southern University’s Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art (BFSDoA) have teamed up once again to provide local and student artists with the opportunity to showcase and sell their artwork. Doors are open to the public on Thursday from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Roxie Remley Center for Fine Arts is the location for the Averitt Center’s Visual Arts program and home to this biannual event that provides both GSU and Averitt art students a unique opportunity to network with the community and understand the business aspect of selling visual art.
"Selling and communicating with patrons is something that cannot be taught in a classroom," said Kim Riner, the Averitt Center’s Visual Arts Director. "I hope that these events will continue to teach aspiring artists the importance of marketing yourself and help them to understand that there is so much more that goes into being an artist than just making art - you have to sell yourself."
Averitt Center visual art students, GSU's Student Made and Jewelry Guild, professional artists, and professors will participate in the event, along with Statesboro Regional Art Association members, local painters and photographers, and Roxie Remley studio artists. Don’t miss your chance to discover one-of-a-kind gifts for your friends and family.
