One of the most popular art shows of the year is here! This Fourth Friday, the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County opens Public Works!, an exhibition sponsored by the Fayetteville Public Works Commission. The Arts Council building at 301 Hay St., will be bursting at the seams with works of art from around the region. All two-and three-dimensional art will be displayed regardless of the age or ability of the artist. If they made it, we are showing it and it all starts at 7 p.m. on April 25. {mosimage}
With such a broad range of work, we know you will have something to say. So, what is better than expressing your opinion as you vote for your favorite work of art? Everyone is encouraged to cast a ballot for the Public’s Choice Award.
For the third year, the Arts Council has partnered with PWC for this exhibition. Communications and Community Relations Manager Carolyn Justice Hinson of PWC says, “We enjoy sponsoring this Fourth Friday and the Public Works exhibit, both are a wonderful reflection of our diverse community.”
PWC representatives will be on hand to talk about water usage and to offer tools to help with water conservation. “When you buy a product, you usually get an owner’s manual. With utilities, PWC is your guide to the most efficient use,” Hinson explains.
Kids can meet Willy Water Drop and Art the Public Works Guy who will be offering kids their very own hard hat.
Who knows what you may learn or what undiscovered masterpiece you may be able to acquire at this Fourth Friday. Just think… that new artist that no one has ever heard of could be tomorrow’s phenomenon. It’ll be fun and fantastic. Don’t miss it.
