FULTON IN FRONT OF HER WATERCOLOR

By Suzanne Fulton. On behalf of local artists and artisans, thank you, Town of Cornelius, for enabling us to show a work of art at the annual Home Grown exhibit in the arts center.

At the exhibit’s opening reception Feb. 7, I was delighted to see an array of types of artwork and crafts expertly hung on walls and arranged on pillars. Arts Center Program Manager Mindi Ellison and her team always present an attractive exhibit.

The reception was a forum to mingle with guests and fellow artists as well as to learn from some about their particular media or techniques. Exhibitors range from art students to veteran professional artists who regularly exhibit. Many of the works are for sale.

I appreciate that Home Grown is not a “juried” show but a first-come-first served opportunity limited only by space. I noticed works that would surely pass muster by the jury of another exhibit.

I hope you will come and see for yourself. Home Grown runs through March 28.

You can see some of the wonderful pieces we have on display in the MARCH edition of Cornelius Today. The address of the gallery is 19725 Oak St. More info: www.cornelius.org/parc
