2008 Piney Awards
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.
— The Editors

Judy Broadhurst
Piney Award for Visual Arts

By Mary Griffin

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.

Fayetteville Art Guild



Judy Broadhurst, owner of Broadhurst Gallery in Pinehurst, told it like it is last Monday night at the Arts Council during the Fayetteville Art Guild monthly meeting. Her talk "The Do's and Don'ts of Pursuing a Gallery" let artists in the guild know what art galleries are and are not, and what an artist should do if they want to be represented by one.
Some of her advice came from the book "The business of Being an Artist" by Daniel Grant, as well as her own experience. She began with "Pricing Your Work" which includes visiting the gallery and comparing your work with others. Next she talked about approaching a gallery. "Not everyone needs to be in a gallery," she says. "If it doesn't work for you, don't do it. Broadhurst Gallery deals mostly with contemporary art." She advises artists to write their own artist's statement, making it honest, straightforward and not so complex that others can't understand it. A must for an artist represented by a gallery are
computer skills that facilitate communication between the artist and the Gallery, Broadhurst also emphasized the need for artists to take care of themselves. She recommended the study of Don Miguel Ruiz's "The Four Agreements" in which he delves into the wisdom of older men of Spanish heritage who advocated finding one's own integrity, self-love and peace.
