October 21-25, 2009
The Junior League of Raleigh, Inc. (JLR) and Visual Art Exchange (VAE) present the Someplace Like Home juried art exhibition, October 21-25, 2009. Someplace Like Home is a special feature of the JLR's A Shopping SPREE!, an annual four-day shopping fundraiser that attracts more than 13,000 shoppers from around the country. We will be awarding more than $1000 in prizes, but the biggest draws of this exhibit are exposure to 13,000 potential clients and three prestigious jurors and the potential for sales.
Juried by: Adam Cave, Nicole Kennedy, and Melissa Peden.
