North Carolina Surface Design Association Members Exhibition

“Threaded Surfaces”: April 23 – May 5, 2012

Meeting: May 5 at 12 noon.

G.R. Hammond Gallery, Boykin Center, Wilson, NC

108 W Nash St, Wilson, NC

The G.R. Hammond Gallery of the Boykin Center is a renovated 1919 Vaudeville Theatre, in Wilson, NC. Wilson is about 45 miles east of Raleigh, NC. The main reason for the exhibition is to coincide with a member meeting – to brainstorm on otherways to meet, network and share. “All people who attempt to earn a living through their artistic endeavors  should be involved in network marketing.” If you come to a member meeting on May 5th at 12 noon, have lunch, and you can then take your work home with you.

There will be no charge for this exhibition unless we decide we want  a public exhibition opening. You would be responsible for mailing or delivery the work to me and providing a pre-paid means for the return of the piece.

***Let me know if you are interested in participating: sfecho@fecho.org. Make sure your work arrives before April 20th.  If you need to drop the work off early or pick up later, just drop a line, I can store it before and after the installation time-frame.

For mailing of work:
Susan Fecho/ Art Department
Barton College
704-A College Street
P.O. Box 5000
