As part of an Open House Sunday, Allied Arts will welcome the community to The Big Click Photography Exhibition.
The Open House will be held from 1 until 3 p.m. at the home of Allied Arts in the Marlor House, located at 201 N. Wayne St.
Allied Arts director Randy Cannon said the level of the work submitted for the competition is higher.
“Overall, the work is much improved as confirmed by our judge, Betty Snider,” Cannon said.
Snider is a former director of Allied Arts and will give a gallery talk Sunday, discussing overall quality and presentation of the work.
The Big Click spawned off the spring Oconee Artists Exhibition and rather than being juried, where a piece may not be included in an exhibition, is judged.
“That means we hang everything that comes in,” Cannon said. “It’s sort of a gamble, but in this case, all the work that came in we are happy to show.”
This year’s winners include:
— First place, Dana Wiggins Smith of Sandersville who wins a cash award of $150 for “Drops of Daisies.”
— Second place, Tracy Hayden of Greensboro who wins a cash award of $100 for “Let Sleeping Tigers Lie.”
— Third place, Clem Pennington of Milledgeville who wins a cash award of $50, for “English Garden.”
Snider awarded six honorable mentions to:
— “Pardon My Skin” by Edwin Collins.
— “A Run on the Beach” by Carolyn Smith.
— “Fall Reflections” by Janet Callaway.
— “Owls” by Luanne Brooker.
— “Drying Time” by Brenda Hooks.
— “A Day at Our School” by Charlotte Thompson.
In addition to these awards, a People’s Choice selection will be given at 2:30 p.m. based on votes cast during the exhibition. The cash award for the People’s Choice Award is $50.
Cannon said that entrants were spread over the central Georgia area and represent the region well. Allied Arts serves a large portion of central Georgia.
All entries are on display at Allied Arts, and Cannon said themes presented themselves naturally and allowed grouping.
The Marlor Arts Center will be decorated with period decorations that Cannon hopes will accent the exhibition.
“All of this work is set against the backdrop of our Open House,” Cannon said. “Then right after the exhibition, the parade starts. We hope people will make a day of the exhibition, then the [Exchange Club Christmas] parade.”
