Mississippi University for Women emeritus professor Thomas Nawrocki may be retired, but he has remained active entering his artwork into various competitions.
His mixed media print, “Zig Zag Zig 80,” was accepted into the 41st Annual Bi-State Art Competition at the Meridian Museum of Art. The exhibition will be on display through Oct. 18 with more than $3,000 available in prizes.
One hundred and sixty-four entries were submitted with 63 works from 50 artists selected to make up the show. Kim Bernadas of New Orleans was the juror for this year’s exhibition.
“This talented group of artists brings us journey through explosive color, strong line and delicious compositions that leave you begging for more,” she said. “Meridian Museum of Art presents a Bi-State Competition that will move you to understand what true art is about.”
Nawrocki also has prints accepted in the 75th American Color Print Society Exhibition at the Plastic Club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Miniatures and More National Art Competition at the Albuquerque Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
