Neighborhood Art Attack

The Arts Council of Fayetteville-Cumberland County knows that art lives in more than its building. So, in an attempt to let art breathe and move, the agency has been going from community to community within Cumberland County to bring art to the people. On Saturday, June 19, Hope Mills residents will get a chance to live and breathe art, as Arts Council’s Neighborhood Art Attack comes to town.

Arts organizations from around the county participate and actively engage residents in the diverse arts offerings in our community. The entertainment stage features a mix of professionals and local talent including students.

Make plans to join the Arts Council from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Hope Mills Municipal Park for a free Neighborhood Art Attack.

At this mini arts festival, enjoy hands-on activities with Cape Fear Basketmakers, Writers’ Ink Guild, Cumberland County Public Library & Information Center, painter Brian Steverson, 910moms.com, the Arts Council and many more agencies!

Entertainment at the Art Attack includes: Storyteller Gran’daddy Junebug, music of Brian Morgan & Friends, music by A Different Drum, magician John Tudor, Jef the Mime, sketch artist Patricia DiGiammarino and Alex the Minstrel.

The Arts Council’s 2010 Neighborhood Art Attacks are all sponsored by Miller-Motte College - Fayetteville Campus. The June 19 Art Attack is also sponsored by The Fayetteville Observer.
