35 ARTISTS IN ROANOKE CITY ART SHOW

Fifty-eight works by 35 artists from Roanoke and the surrounding area will make up the 11th annual Roanoke City Art Show, which opens Thursday.

Guest juror Ned Rifkin selected the exhibition from some 400 slides submitted by 149 artists.

Rifkin is exhibitions curator at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden of the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington.

For the first time, the exhibit is being held in the Roanoke Museum of Fine Arts. The show will open with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday.

During the reception, The Arts Council of Roanoke Valley will present its annual Kendig Awards for service and achievement in the arts.

At 7 p.m., the authors of work in "Artemis XIII" will give a reading. The annual journal is a publication of art, poetry and prose by artists and writers of the Blue Ridge region.

All events are open to the public without charge.

The art show is a project of the arts council and the city government, with cooperation from Artemis and the museum. Selected exhibitors will share awards and purchase prizes totaling $2,700.

Among them are a $500 best-in-show award and a $100 Peoples Choice Award determined by vote of visitors to the show.

The show will remain on exhibit through May 31 in the museum's second-floor gallery. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays; and 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays.
