North Carolina Artists Exhibition 
In 1978-79 The Raleigh Fine Arts Society sponsored its first juried show for multi-media art created by Wake County artists. Since then, the show has expanded and now represents artists from across the state of North Carolina. Being displayed in the Betty Ray McCain Gallery at Progress Energy Center for Performing Arts, this wonderful array of art is viewed by thousands of spectators. Our annual Exhibition enables North Carolina artists to achieve greater recognition throughout the state and country.
The works of art are available for purchase during the show unless otherwise designated. The Raleigh Fine Arts Society does retain a commission on the sale of each work
Meet the Juror
Peter Nisbet. 
Peter Nisbet, formerly the Daimler-Benz Curator of the Busch-Reisinger Museum at the Harvard Art Museum, is now the chief curator of the Ackland Art Museum at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Nisbet holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Cambridge University and a Ph.D in the History of Art from Yale University. Before joining the Harvard Art Museums in 1983, he held assistantships at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and at Yale University Art Gallery. At the Busch-Reisinger Museum he was responsible for a collection of 39,000 works of central and northern European art ranging from the Middle Ages to the present and played a leading role in the reconceptualization and revitalization of the museum, leading to its relocation in 1991. He has curated numerous exhibitions of contemporary and modern art.
