New Art On-Display

We have continued to expand the Art Space Gallery at the Mann Center of NC to include new work in the main hallway plus an upcoming installation in the auditorium.

Three new performing arts-themed paintings by Karen Tatum will be added to the walls of the Mann Center's auditorium this summer to brighten and enhance the space. We've also added over a dozen paintings by local artists to the hallways so that visitors can be surrounded by art! The next time you're in the area, stop by the Mann Center and explore the new displays.

It's quick and easy to show your support for the visual arts with a generous financial gift. Your contribution stays LOCAL and supports this important arts resource.

A donation today is a great way to support the mission of the SBPC, Art Angels, and our youth scholarship programs, plus you'll be creating a legacy of visual arts right here in our community!
