The Pendleton Art Center in Rising Sun will feature "Artists and Art in Gaming" art show in September to open the first annual Grand Victoria Casino and Resort Month at the Pendleton.
Artists from the three sister Pendleton Art Centers in Rising Sun, Cincinnati, and Ashland, KY, will present artwork focused on their rendition of what gaming means to them.
The Grand Victoria Casino judges will award prizes to winning artists on September 1, 2006, at 7 p.m. at the Center. VIP guests of the Grand Victoria will also be hosted in the VIP suite at the art center.
"We're excited about this show and recognizing the Grand Victoria's contributions to Rising Sun," says Jim Verdin of the Pendleton Art Centers. "Rising Sun is a natural venue for artists with the scenic river views and supportive environment. And, a gaming theme will allow for some creative interpretations by our artists. This will be our first annual Grand Victoria Casino and Resort event, but also our first event for the three Pendleton Art Center artists to participate together in a judged art show and exhibit, " Mr. Verdin continues.
Every First Friday of the month, the Pendleton Art Center in Rising Sun opens its doors for visitors and anyone interested in seeing artwork and meeting some talented artists. Rising Sun artists, photographers, sculptors, glass artisans, weavers, potters, and musicians invite guests to come to their studios to see their works; or just come hang out for refreshments and some great music on a Friday night in Rising Sun along the Ohio River. From contemporary to realistic expressionism, the artists enjoy opening their studios to the general public on First Friday's and Second-Look Saturday's to show their wares.
The show will feature 42 artists; 62 pieces of art. The Grand Victoria Casino and Resort is celebrating its 10th anniversary so we thought it would be great to honor them in some way. They are sending invitations to their VIP persons, and it is announced in their newsletter.
The prize money is $1500, $1000, $500 for the top artists' entries to be judged
on Friday evening, 9/1, with prizes awarded at 9 p.m.
Judges will be Steve Jimenez, General Manager, Daryl Paddock, Director of Sales, and Tony Perrone, Director of Marketing for the Grand Victoria; plus Jim Verdin of the Verdin Bell Company of Cincinnati.
WHEN: Friday, 9/1/06, 5 - 9 p.m.
WHERE: Pendleton Art Center, Rising Sun, IN, 201 Main St. (812-438-9900)
