Call For art

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. Participation, which is subject to acceptance, is open to artists in and around the NRV area. Individuals under the age of 18 must have approval of application from a legal guardian. Two-dimensional work needs to be ready to hang using gallery wire.

Artists are encouraged to have their work for sale; Glencoe Mansion Gallery collects a 25% commission on sales.

“Homecoming” will be on display July 15 - August 28 in the Glencoe Mansion Gallery. The Opening Reception, during which prizes will be announced, will take place on Friday July 24, from 5:30-7pm at Glencoe Mansion as part of the Mary Draper Ingles Festival.
