Thanks for the posting, Patrick. You and your hanging crew did a splendid job!
This year will display 347 pieces of original artwork, many of which are for sale.
Also, the student show sponsored by the Carteret County public schools is almost hung and it looks great. Clearly, we have some very talented young artists in the area.
Remember, admission to the show is free, beginning Saturday, Feb. 16th at 6:00 pm.
