The SBPC 59th Annual Art Show took place from October 12 -19, 2024 at the Harper Center in Sanford. The show takes six months to plan, one week to set up, one week for the show itself, and then it is gone in a flash. The SBPC would like to thank the 800+ visitors who attended our show and those who supported the artists by purchasing their artwork. We would also like to once again thank the Ruby and Ernest McSwain Worthy Lands Trust, the City of Sanford Tourism Development Authority, and the many sponsors for helping make our show a success. Many thanks to Mickey Pace and Sabrina Currin for their leadership roles as Co-Chairs and Wanda Geske for developing the marketing and media materials for the show. Finally, the SBPC would like to thank The First Presbyterian Church for hosting our art show at the Harper Center.


Droves of volunteers showed up on October 5 and 6 to construct the set designed by Barbara Berman and directed by Henry Kennedy



The show kicked off with the awards ceremony and Patrons Day (organized by Carolyn Rotter).

Over 1,200 pieces of art were entered in the show. These are just a few examples representing a wide variety of mediums, subjects and categories.


There were door prizes, demonstrations, students, and a live auction (organized by Barbara Miller) during the Art After Dark event.
