The theme for Spring Festival is simply Spring, that beautiful time of year here in North Carolina, full of sunshine, flowers – and pollen, but let’s not dwell on that! We are looking forward to seeing how each artist interprets the season.
The Exhibition opens April 25 with a reception, an update on the Robeson County Artists Exhibition at CAM, and recognition of donors and Artist awards. Join us at 6:30 pm at the Guild House. The Exhibition runs through May 9, 2024.
Accordion player Betty Fisher will fill the air with music sure to bring a smile to your lips!
Join us and celebrate the season!
