UNITY PROJECT

​On February 5th at 1:30 pm, the Craven Arts Council installed a new sculpture at Broad Street Church in Downtown New Bern. 
The sculpture entitled “Unity” is a 12’ tall papier-mâché sculpture that was created by and painted by children in Craven County. The representation of two hands represents the unity and strength of our community when working together, and draws from the imagery of the local “Unity” mural on Broad Street.
The Craven Arts Council would like to thank Shop Class and Broad Street Christian Church for the use of their facilities; the Sun Journal for providing the paper for the papier-mâché aspect of the sculpture; and Trawick Stubbs, Jr., Chris and Judy McCrudden, and Helmut and Carmen Weisser for donating to the Craven Arts Council & Gallery for this project. Finally, thank you to the community without which this sculpture would not have been completed.
