Join us for a themed exhibition for 2026:

Beauty & History: Celebrating 250 Years of Appalachia

This year's Juried Fine Art Exhibition joins Virginia's statewide 250th anniversary commemoration. Artists are invited to bring their unique voice to this storied region — exploring its rich and complex past, from hardship and resilience to triumph and wonder, alongside the timeless natural beauty that defines Appalachia.

Meet our 2026 Juror: Russell Facemire

Russell Facemire is the Curator of Fine Arts and the Worrell Collection of Wildlife Art at the William King Museum of Art. He grew up in Braxton County, West Virginia and earned his Master's Degree in Art History from the University of South Carolina. Before arriving at WKMA he worked with non-profits through Americorps, and briefly taught art to grade schoolers and middle schoolers. He also obtained an MFA from SUNY Buffalo and is a practicing artist, which occupies his time between working at the museum and cooking eggplant.

Russell’s Favorite Quote: “But every day produces some new wonder; jests are turned into earnest, and those who designed to laugh at others happen to be laughed at themselves.” -- Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, in Don Quijote.
