ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Let your imagination fly free as you create your entry for BRAC’s “Planes • Trains • Automobiles” themed exhibition. You can interpret the theme as literally or loosely as you’d like - cars... boats... sky... birds... the direction is up to you; limited by your creativity.

This themed exhibition is open to artists working in any medium throughout the Upstate and beyond. While the show is not juried, works should compliment the show theme: “Planes • Trains • Automobiles” and awards will be given based on craftmanship, artistic vision and thematic approach.

The show will open on Saturday, May 20 with a family day event including a classic car show, model train demos and various activies for kids and adults. The show will be on view at Blue Ridge Arts Center’s Gallery, 111 E. South Second Street in Seneca, through June 28.
