Craven Arts Council and the Arts Council of Carteret are proud to present “Inner Coast Woodworking and Quilting” in the Main Gallery at Bank of the Arts for the month of August 2019. This exhibition highlights the talent of local artists in two traditional craft fields by presenting a judged exhibition. Craven Arts will host an opening reception during the downtown New Bern Artwalk, August 9th, from 5pm-9pm.
Eastern North Carolina has a long history in traditional craftsmanship, from the early cabinetry shops and hand stitched quilts of the colonial period to modern creators working out of homes, garages, and community spaces. This exhibition seeks to showcase the talent, creativity, and skill of our local craftspeople. The exhibition will be judged by Joe Clay and Kirsta Meadows, professional craftspeople and instructors in woodworking and quilting respectively. Twenty awards will be presented to the artists, based on creativity, skill, and overall craftsmanship. Artists include Pollie Howland, Kenneth Capps, Naida Koraly, Steven Zawistowski, and others. This exhibition is joint project by Craven Arts Council & Gallery and the Arts Council of Carteret County. Admission to all galleries at Bank of the Arts is free and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm. |
