SUMMARY:Dwight J. Dennis Memorial Photography Exhibition and Competition
DESCRIPTION:We have so many talented photographers in our area! Several years ago The Guild added an annual photography competition and exhibition to show off their talents. Sometimes the annual show will involve a particular theme\, while other years will employ a  “photographer’s choice” to allow photographers to enter photos of any subject they prefer. After all\, we’ve all have our favorite topics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2021\, we lost one of our amazing photographer members\, and the annual photography show now carries his name in memoriam. Dwight J. Dennis was always a huge supporter of our members\, our community\, and The Guild. He was a cheerleader for all our shows\, but this one had a special place in his heart\, since photography was his passion. The annual photography show is now entitled: Dwight J. Dennis Memorial Photography Exhibition and Competition.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAwarded prizes are 1st\, 2nd\, 3rd and 2 honorable mentions. Prize money will be $300 for 1st place\, $200 for 2nd place & $100 for 3rd place.  Honorable Mentions may be given at the judge’s discretion. All entries must be no more than 5 years old and must not have previously won a ribbon in a Stanly Arts Guild show. In 2026\, this show will be judged by William Dixon\, Jr. It will be on display at The Stanly Arts Guild’s new location\, 152 W. Main St in Albemarle\, from February 24th thru March 21st.

SUMMARY:High School Art Shows
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the Stanly Arts Guild works with the local high school art teachers in Stanly County to host shows for the many talented students enrolled in their classes. This includes private\, as well as public\, high schools. The teachers and students get involved in setting up the shows that showcase and encourage the emerging talent we have in Stanly county. The shows are typically 1-2 weeks in length for each school\, with a reception for the students & their families at the end of the show. There are no prizes awarded but there may be a graduating senior whose work is showcased for some schools. In these shows every entry is a winner\, but the big winners are those of us viewing the show\, as the talent and imagination of these young artists are truly amazing. \nIf you are a high school art teacher and would like to arrange dates to showcase the talent of your students\, please contact our Art Show Coordinator at The Stanly Arts Guild (email: stanlyartsguild19@gmail.com).
