Lincoln Economic
Development Association in Lincolnton, NC, Offers Exhibition
The Lincoln Economic Development Association (LEDA) announces the third rotation of the LEDA Art Invitational '08, which will be on view through Jan. 7, 2009, in the LEDA Board Room Gallery located in historic downtown Lincolnton, NC.
The exhibition is a collaborative effort between economic development professionals and invited professional artists who have lived and/or worked in Lincoln County. The purpose of the exhibit is to showcase the cultural richness of Lincoln County to visitors from around the world and to local business, community, and civic leaders who visit the LEDA facility. In addition to the Lincoln County highlighting its "creative class", the participating artists receive exposure to potential corporate art buyers and influencers to help them build their art businesses.

Developed as an annual event, the LEDA Art Invitational consists of three or four rotations of artwork each year by the same invited artists selected annually. 2008 artists exhibiting their original works of two-dimensional art include: Karen Banker, Ginny H. Boyd, Lynn Dermott, Tom Owen, Dene Scott Smith, Zac Vinson, Kae Wright, and Beth Yarbrough. All artists create their work for professional trade with many owning their own art businesses. Mary Whisonant, art history professor, emerita, at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, is serving as the guest curator for this year's exhibit.
