 North Carolina Artists Exhibition 

2011 - Grand Prize Winner: "Absent Annabell" by Kiki Farish

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.

The Halsey Institute is a multi-disciplinary, non-collecting contemporary arts museum, with an emphasis on emerging and mid-career artists from around the world.
 
In his twenty-seven year career, Mr. Sloan has organized hundreds of exhibitions, ranging from contemporary Japanese installation art to 19th Century Baluchi tribal weavings. Several of his exhibitions have traveled to institutions such as the High Museum in Atlanta, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, the New Orleans Museum of Art, Presentation House in Vancouver, and the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.
 
Mr. Sloan has authored or co-authored ten books on subjects ranging from Russian conceptual art to early twentieth century circus life. He is also an active visual artist whose works have been exhibited, published, and collected internationally.
