Call for Artists for "Homecoming" Art Show

Glencoe Mansion Gallery will host a multi-artist juried art show, “Homecoming,” in conjunction with its annual Mary Draper Ingles Festival (July 24-26). Participating artists will have the opportunity to compete for cash prizes, including a $75 best in show. Works will be judged by Steve Arbury, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Art History at Radford University. Selected artwork will be on display July 15 - August 28, 2026.

“Homecoming” is an exhibit that showcases the meaning of home, especially as it relates to Mary Draper Ingles’ 40-plus-day journey home. The theme can explore the importance of home and one’s sense of place. Tying into Mary Draper Ingles’ journey, works can show native agriculture or geological locations along the route, significant landmarks and more. All fine arts and fine craft media including painting, photography, digital media, printmaking, textiles, mixed media, ceramics and sculpture will be considered. Artists may submit up to three (3) artworks for consideration.

Applications will be accepted through 5pm on June 17.
