Rural Reflections: The Heart of Eastern North Carolina and Southern Virginia

This exhibition celebrates the rural character of Eastern North Carolina and Southern Virginia. 

 

"Rural Reflections" invites artists to share their interpretations of life in this distinctive region - from expansive farmlands to quiet small towns.

 

We welcome submissions that explore:

• The diverse agricultural heritage - tobacco fields, cotton farms, peanut crops

• Small town main streets and local traditions

• The natural beauty of the region's countryside 

• Personal stories and moments that define rural life in these areas

 

Your work might capture:

• A misty morning over a tobacco field

• Historic architecture unique to the region

• Portraits of local farmers

• The interplay between nature and rural living

 

We seek authentic portrayals that reflect the spirit, challenges, and beauty of rural life in Eastern North Carolina and Southern Virginia. What does "rural" mean to you in this context? Share your perspective on the region's distinct rural character through your chosen medium.

​
