2008 Piney Awards
Were pleased to announce the 2008 Piney Awards, PineStraw
Magazines 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 years 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, weve 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. Theyre your neighbors. And, in some
ways theyre you.

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 Broadhursts 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 gallerys 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.
