The 14th annual Roanoke City Art Show will take place May 22 through July 11 in the main floor gallery of the Art Museum of Western Virginia at Center in the Square in downtown Roanoke.

The exhibit is open to artists and crafts people in the Blue Ridge Mountains who are 18 years and older.

The juror for this year's show is John Perreault, senior curator of the American Crafts Museum in New York City. The top prize of $500 will be awarded by the City of Roanoke for the work selected by the juror as best in show.
