Red and white balloons will mark the
businesses participating in this week’s
Art After Hours Friday, April 13.
There will also be free
carriage rides from 6 to 9 p.m. provided
by the Downtown Revitalization
Corporation and the mike at The Gazebo
will again be open to all singers and
musicians.
Art After Hours – always the
second Friday of the month – is a time
for people to stroll, shop and eat in
Historic Downtown Wake Forest. Many
shops are open late, and many have
special events.
At the Sunflower Studio on
East Jones Avenue, owner Linda Burrell
says local artist Billy Farmer will be
featured. “His show is entitled ‘Scenes
of Wake Forest and More’ in acrylic and
watercolors. Our live music will be by
Mister Felix.”
The Cotton Company will host
the annual art show by the Mary Benejam
Group with an artists’ reception and
wine tasting.
Benejam is an oil and
watercolor artist who is a resident
artist at The Cotton Company and teaches
several art classes through the Town of
Wake Forest’s programs at Flaherty Park.
The show will feature
several of her advanced artists: Ann
Battle, Peter Firth, Carol George, Larry
Harrison, Maura Main, Elizabeth Newhouse,
Mike O’Connell, Sandra Polley, Susan
Rouse, Mary Margaret Steel, Blake Tharin,
Linda Tharin and Elizabeth Zirkle. |
