Along the border of the “quilt” students will stamp words about character and strength in a number of languages that can be found spoken at Martin. We will ultimately install these tiles permanently in the halls of the school. ]]> http://www.potteryali.com/2012/02/21/artist-in-residence-martin-middle-school/feed/ 0 “Art of the Auction”: A fundraiser for the North Carolina Museum of Art http://www.potteryali.com/2012/02/21/art-of-the-auction-a-fundraiser-for-the-north-carolina-museum-of-art/ http://www.potteryali.com/2012/02/21/art-of-the-auction-a-fundraiser-for-the-north-carolina-museum-of-art/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 03:08:53 +0000 potteryali http://www.potteryali.com/?p=962 A piece of my work, a necklace, has been selected by a jury to be a part of this show/fundraiser for the NCMA.

Auction Preview

Friday, March 30 | 5:30 pm
East Building
Free | Cash Bar

This month Art in the Evening and Art of the Auction come together for a unique Friday night. The Auction Preview combines live music, tasty bites, and beverages with an opportunity to preview the works of art to be auctioned at the Art of the Auction benefit on April 14.

Enjoy the eclectic stylings of local jazz quintet Peter Lamb and the Wolves, and mingle with many of the artists, who will be in attendance to discuss their work. This is your chance to see all the exceptional works of art, many by North Carolina artists, that can be yours to take home from the auction! This event is part of Art of the Auction.
