10th Annual Fine Arts Competition
We are thrilled to be celebrating the 10th year of our fine art competition with our artists paying tribute to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! Annually our Arts of Vienna artists submit their original pieces within a specifically chosen theme for our juried Fall competition. In addition, Arts of Vienna donates 10% of the proceeds from from any artwork sold during the Fall sale to an area nonprofit.
Since our artists are drawing inspiration from the Great Smoky Mountains, our 2022 donation will benefit Friends of the Smokies.
Friends of the Smokies assists the Great Smoky Mountain National Park Service in its mission to preserve and protect the park by raising funds and public awareness, and providing volunteers for needed projects. For more information on their program and how they support the Smokies, visit their website here.
This show highlights the talent of local artists from across our region displaying works in several mediums. It is featured on the walls of the Vienna Coffee House September 12 through November 19, 2022.
