Mostly Harmless

On July 7th tropical storm Chantal dropped massive amounts of water on central NC, resulting in flash flooding like this community as never seen. The Eno Arts Mill was under several feet of water, devastating the artist studios, gallery, and classroom. The community is pulling together to keep key art programs going, including art summer camps, Uproar, the Common Good exhibit and fundraiser. We are altering our schedule so we can host Paint In Orange plein air exhibit at the Thomas Stevens Gallery.
Paint It Orange opening event, First Fridays, October 4th.

Stay tuned, put Last Fridays on your calendar….we’re anticipating a fabulous year!
