Arts Notes

Nicole’s Studio moving on Person

Nicole’s Studio & Art Gallery, a fixture on Person Street in Raleigh for 12 years, is moving – but not too far. The gallery, owned by Nicole Kennedy, is moving from 715 N. Person St. to 719 N. Person St. The new space offers a better opportunity to display the work of the two dozen artists whom the gallery represents, Kennedy said. It will open in early March.

Art classes raise money for charities

Artistic Abandon will hold a fundraiser to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 19. All art supplies will be provided to paint “Spring Sunrise on Pond.” Bring snacks and wine, beer or a nonalcoholic beverage. Cost is $35 per painter.

For more information or to register for either class, visit www.ArtisticAbandon.com or call 919-901-7385.

Heart of the Artist Community Art Festival

The 2nd Annual Heart of the Artist Community Art Festival, set for Saturday, April 28, is accepting applications from artists until March 30. Artists may retain proceeds from sales at their booths in the festival at Wake Forest Baptist Church.

Proceeds from food and beverage sales, an art raffle, 25 percent of proceeds from art sold at an “Art on a Mission” booth, and designated donations will benefit hunger relief in the Wake Forest community.

Those interested in exhibiting must complete an application with two samples of work along the theme of “Art on a Mission” or their Christian faith and $25 by March 30. Artists younger than 18 may enter a competition for free. For more information, visit www.virginiatullmusicandarts.org.
