The Wilkes Art Gallery in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, is calling for artists to submit entries for two upcoming exhibitions: “Minute: A Miniature Art Exhibition” and the 47th annual Northwest Artists’ Exhibition. Submissions will be accepted on July 7 and 8, with both shows running from July 17 to August 26.
This call for entries highlights the gallery's ongoing commitment to supporting local and regional artists, providing a platform for community engagement and creative expression. The exhibitions, particularly the long-running Northwest Artists’ Exhibition, underscore the vitality of grassroots art scenes in small-town America and the importance of accessible, artist-driven opportunities outside major metropolitan centers.
