Each year this competition has showcased the work of artists living in or native to North Carolina. This marks the first year we are extending this competition to South Carolina to celebrate the Carolinas. Our Annual Competition has established a reputation as one of the Southeast’s most distinguished and highly competitive professional annual exhibitions. On behalf of the Fayetteville Museum, We would like to extend a personal invitation to the artists of North & South Carolina to submit an application to the 34th Annual Competition for North & South Carolina Artists.

The Fayetteville Museum of Art was founded in 1971. Originally housed in downtown Fayetteville's historic Market House, the Museum moved in 1978 to its present facility that was the first building in the State of North Carolina designed and built as an Art Museum. In addition to the modern facility that includes two (2) galleries, classrooms, studio space, an Art Reference & Slide Lending Library, and a Museum Store, the Museum's 5.8 acre grounds and pond give the Fayetteville community a place to gather for relaxation. Find the top lsat prep courses and state BAR exam requirements here as well. The park-like setting is an oasis in the midst of a heavily trafficked area; it is also utilized for large scale sculpture displays, art festivals and public concerts.
