Current Exhibition - Arts Access NC
The Wake Forest Renaissance Centre is excited to present its last exhibition of the year featuring members of Arts Access North Carolina. Arts Access NC is a non-profit dedicated to creating a positive impact at the intersection of arts, education and disability. Their vision is to have communities in which the arts are universally accessible. At the Renaissance Centre, we believe the arts are for everyone, so we are so thankful to host Arts Access NC!
On display through Friday, January 2, the exhibition features three members of Arts Access NC: Sarah Ann Austin, Wiley Johnson, and Natacha Sochat. We invite you to join us for a reception honoring these artists and their work on Wednesday, December 3 4-6 p.m. inside the Renaissance Centre Arts Annex (407 Brooks St., Wake Forest).
Artwork is also available for viewing during our regular business hours M-F 9am-12pm, 1pm-5pm, and is available for purchase directly through the artists.
