Seventy-five artists have been juried into the 2009 Exhibition. Awards and honors will be announced during the opening reception. After exhibition at Sunset River Marketplace, the show will travel to the Page Walker Arts & History Center in Cary, NC, and will hang there through December, when it will move to the Hickory Museum of Art, which is the host site for the 2010 Annual Exhibition. It will hang there for six weeks.
