Hopkinsville Art Guild

John N. Hall, III Purchase Award

Hopkinsville Art Guild members and non-members have an opportunity to submit paintings for the fifth annual John N. Hall, III Purchase Award. Mr. Hall will provide $400 for first place, $100 for second, $75 for third, and $25 for fourth. Deadline for entry is Sept. 30 at the Guild Gallery. Entry fee for non-Guild members is $5.00 This painting will be used for developing greeting cards to be sold by the Hopkinsville Art Guild during November and December.

The paintings will be judged in conjunction with the Pennyroyal Juried Art Show. Work should be delivered unframed but ready to hang. The winner of the commission will be announced at the Reception, Sunday, at 3 p.m., at the Auditorium Bldg. Gallery at Hopkinsville Community College. There is no entry fee for members. The winning painting will be framed by Planters Bank and exhibited there after the production of the greeting cards which will be sold by the Hopkinsville Art Guild. The winner will give up the copyright to the work as well as the painting.

The painting may be any media, a minimum 16” x 20”, a winter scene about downtown Hopkinsville—the way the artist remembers it—the way it really was—the way it is now—even Santa can be a part of it, if they choose—it can be the Christmas parades of years gone by—anything, so long as it is about downtown Hoptown.
