Cabin Fever Exhibit is featured as an annual event at Cape Fear Studios. This show represents the vision of Community Art.
“Community art is vital for building strong, connected and vibrant places by fostering diverse voices, improving mental-well-being, beautifying public spaces, and driving economic activity, transforming neighborhoods through shared creative experiences that break down barriers and create collective identity and pride. It serves as a catalyst for dialogue, healing, and positive change, giving residents a way to express needs, celebrate culture, and envision better future for themselves,” according to the East End Arts Council.
The Cabin Fever Exhibit attracts visitors, supports local artists, and boosts foot traffic within downtown Fayetteville.
Cape Fear Studios has been hosting Cabin Fever for approximately ten years. The Studio, established in 1989, has been a staple in the community for 37 years.
Pandry Autry, Cape Fear Studios member, shares. “I have worked as a decorative painter and faux finish artist for over thirty years in Fayetteville, after teaching in Cumberland County and Hoke County for thirteen years. [I enjoy] being a member of Cape Fear Studios to have an outlet for my art and be part of an artist community.”
