Show Your Love (fund raiser with Meals on Wheels)

Curator Helen Sullivan

Intake begins May 3rd and will run through May 6th at the Arrowhead Gallery and Studios. We are asking artists to donate one, two, or three works for a silent auction that will run through the end of the month.

The subject matter is wide open. The idea is to express love and inclusiveness.

The funds raised through this show and the accompanying silent auction will benefit Meals on Wheels of McDowell County and A3L, which is a 501(c)(30 nonprofit corporation. While Meals on Wheels is funded for the days on which the Senior Center open it is not funded for the days, such as holidays, when it it closed. Our goal is to fund meals for Thanksgiving and other holidays. In addition, A3L has just undertaken, in conjunction with Dragonfly Studios and Mill Creek Properties, to build a working kaleidoscope sculpture in Downtown Old Fort. Eventually we hope to complete the largest kaleidoscope, the "Big K," in the South. A3L's portion of the funds will go towards building the sculpture and cleaning up the "pocket park" site where it will reside.

Focus on 3D

Curator: Carolyn Foster

This show targets artists and artisans who work in 3D. That’s what we want to see and display. 2D can participate, but their pieces will have to be of a 3D object.

Live, Laugh, Love

Curator: Lorelle Bacon

The goal of this show is to express that what brings us together is stronger than what divides us. It flows from the quote “Live every moment, Laugh every day, Love beyond words.”
