Still Hopes Show

TAG’s Annual Still Hopes Show opened on August 4th, 2022.

The show was juried by Mark Anderson, MFA, Professor at Presbyterian College, Clinton SC and he left this lovely note on the show:

I walked into the space Saturday afternoon to discover framed works already installed. The works were well hung in a nicely balanced arrangement with thought given to pacing and grouping so as to promote a very pleasing visual rhythm. The show has both good variety and depth of reference to make the whole experience rewarding for any viewer. There’s a little something for everyone. I appreciated that the works were presented by number only as names and signatures were obscured to avoid any potential bias on my part.

I appreciate the opportunity to view the work of the fine artists of the Trenholm Artist Guild. As often happens when I spend time with other artists, I couldn’t wait to get back to my studio.

Congratulations to Gerard Erley for winning Best of Show with his piece, “ Night Fantasy” and Congratulations to all the winners!
