For more than a decade, Gallery 208 has been providing space to showcase local and regional artists.

Earlier this month, we opened The Visual Conversation: Artists Who Teach, an exhibit allowing us to highlight local artists who also teach their craft. This exhibit of 24 prints is the result of a group of public-school art teachers who attended a workshop using non-toxic printmaking techniques.

The workshop was sponsored by a grant from the Fayetteville and Cumberland County Arts Council and reflects the artists’ exploration into expanding their regular ways of working. The artists include: Chantel Dorisme, Alfie Frederick, Kyle Harding, Beverly Henderson, Rick Kenner, Soni Martin, Tiara Siner, Manuela Smith, Adrian Solomon and Angela Williams.

Gallery 208 is located at 208 Rowan St. and open Monday — Thursday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information call 910-484-6200.
