Seventy-eight works from city employees, retirees, or their family members were on display through December 29, 2005, at the Garden & Arts Center for Lubbock’s 16th annual National Arts Program Exhibition and Competition. The purpose of the National Arts Program is to showcase undiscovered art indigenous to the Untied States and to help foster creativity. Co-sponsored by the National Arts Program and the City of Lubbock’s Municipal Garden and Arts Center, the program provides professional and non-professional artists with a rare opportunity to exhibit their works publicly. Cash awards and continuing art education scholarships are awarded to participants for their original contributions in the field of fine arts. Some works are also for sale.
The juror of this year’s exhibit is Ken Dixon. Ken is an active mixed-media artist who recently achieved the status of Emeritus Professor of Painting from Texas Tech University after many years of service. He is best known for his large puzzle-piece works dealing with concepts of order and disorder. He states, “I considered a number of factors beyond choosing the works most visually interesting to me. I attempted to represent a range of visual approaches to art-making from representational imagery to work which was very abstract in its thought and look.”
