We’re pleased to announce the 2008 Piney Awards, PineStraw Magazine’s recognition of excellence in the arts, a celebration of the arts and culture of the North Carolina Sandhills. What follows are brief profiles of this year’s four primary honorees — Stephen E. Smith (Literature); Judy Broadhurst (Visual Arts); Baxter Clement (Music); and Mitchell Capel (Performance Arts). Each recipient, in his or her own unique way, has made an invaluable contribution to expanding the public consciousness of art and strengthening the vivid cultural life of our community, bringing distinction to their craft and earning the attention and respect of critics and audiences alike. In addition to the recognition of four well-deserving local artists, we at PineStraw have long been of the opinion that art should sometimes be as much fun as it is inspiring and beautiful. For this reason, we’ve added thirty slightly more subjective — some might say “off the wall” or even “downright silly” — Piney Awards recognizing people and things that make life in these ancient Sandhills such a hoot. We hope they make you smile, as they certainly did us. Most of all, we hope our selection of inaugural Piney Award winners helps remind you what a richly diverse — and generously gifted — community of artists resides in these parts. They’re your neighbors. And, in some ways — they’re you.

Many would argue that Wilmington native Judy Broadhurst single-handedly brought art to the Sandhills when she and her husband, Jack, moved Pinehurst in 1990.

Today she owns and operates the Broadhurst Gallery on Midland Road, where the artists featured are Broadhurst’s good friends. Many are North Carolina artists, and many are from her time in New York when she worked in a gallery there.

A tour of her own gallery’s rooms reveal contrast from stark contemporary to vibrant impressionism to images that leap off canvases in still-life realism. Currently patrons can see local artist David Hewson; London-trained Rachel Clearfield, who now lives and works in Asheville; North Carolina artist Richard Fennell; South Carolina artist Joseph Cave; Texas artist Gerry Weers, among many more.

“My goal is to have the best artists represented here from each category, realistic, contemporary, impressionist — I love seeing new art,” says Broadhurst. “I get new work almost daily and I keep it moving all the time.”
The Broadhurst Gallery hosts about four shows a year, and gallery talks more frequently.
Broadhurst lives and breathes art, and has ever since she can remember.
