about this exhibit opportunity:

This is our second year presenting the Local Farms/Local Art Exhibit. It will
be displayed in Panzanella and the Hillsborough Weaver Street Market from April 5 through June 8, 2009.
While the Piedmont Farm Tour involves only farms within the Piedmont, the artwork may represent farm
subjects anywhere in North Carolina. Artists must currently reside in North Carolina. The submissions will be
reviewed by a screening panel of local art professionals. The artists whose work is selected will be contacted
to arrange for delivery of artwork. All artwork will be insured for the duration of the exhibit, in accordance
with Weaver Street Market policy. Panzanella is a part of the Weaver Street Market Cooperative, which is a
founding sponsor of the Piedmont Farm Tour.

An Art Exhibit Celebrating the 14th Annual Piedmont Farm Tour
This spring, Panzanella and Weaver Street Market’s Hillsborough store will host a juried exhibit
to explore what North Carolina artists create when the inspiration is local farming. Selected
artists will be part of a 9-week exhibit of work based on NC farms. Farmers and their families,
crops, animals, landscapes, farm buildings and equipment are all possible subjects.
