MINT HILL, NC – On Friday, September 3, Mint Hill Arts held the Opening Reception for it’s September Members Only Show. Although only members of Mint Hill Arts were able to enter pieces in the show, members and nonmembers alike gathered at the studio on Friday for refreshment and, of course, a celebration of wonderful art.
The judged show was created to honor Mint Hill Arts’ members, who were permitted to enter up to two individual 2D or 3D works of any medium.

First Place and a $100 prize went to Carlos Pelay for his black and white photograph “Solitary Traveler.” Mary Hughey took second place and a $75 prize for “Boating Buddies,” a whimsical colored pencil piece. Third Place and a $50 prize went Judy Young for the detailed watercolor “Calloway Gardens.”
The Members Only Show is currently on display at the Mint Hill Arts Gallery. As always, the gallery is free and open to the public Wednesdays through Saturdays from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
