In partnership with the Roanoke Arts Commission, the Roanoker Magazine presents "Cover Story: Roanokers Celebrate the Region," an exhibition celebrating 50 years of The Roanoker magazine and the places we call home. This juried community art show features work from residents ages 12-83 who submitted original cover designs and reimagined past iconic covers.
The exhibition also includes a display of the artist cover recreations featured in each 2024 issue of the Roanoker Magazine. The exhibition will be on view through Summer 2025. All submissions will be added to an online gallery on our website after deinstallation of the exhibition.
Congratulations to our winners!
Meet the Judges:

She has a small home studio and teaches hand-building classes at Studio 228 in Vinton.
Bryce Cobbs is an artist born and raised in Roanoke, Virginia. He studied Communication Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University before returning home to work professionally as a freelancer. He works in a variety of 2D materials and his subject matter always reflects the beauty of black culture and the narrative aspects he wishes to convey through the black experience.
