The carriage rides were very popular
last month, and Downtown Manager Tina
Archer has booked the horse, carriage
and driver for this coming Friday’s Art
After Hours so that families, couples
and individuals can enjoy a spin up and
down South White Street.
You will find balloons
marking those studios, shops and
restaurants participating in the monthly
event that runs from 6 to 9 p.m. on May
11.
There may be more but two
studios have special events planned.
“This Friday night we will
have Ed Hardy as our guest artist,”
Linda Burrell, the owner of Sunflower
Studio on East Jones Avenue, said.
Hardy’s acrylic paintings are
impressionistic renderings of cityscapes
and local landmarks.
“Our band for the evening
with be the Possum Road Bluegrass Band,”
Burrell said.
At The Cotton Company on
South White Street, there will be an
array of celebrations, including the
opening of the expanding studio for
Ginger Meek Allen, a jeweler and
metalsmith.
Elizabeth Mosier will host
an exhibit of her work from her metal
studies at East Carolina University.
Tara Fritz, a metal studio
apprentice, will have her first
exhibition of metals.
There will also be a display
of the lamps created by Bob Byers and
