NORRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY

Artists Susan Brooks and Nancy Hoopes have an outstanding display of their art work at the Norris Public Library for the months of February and March. The reception scheduled for Friday February 5, has been cancelled due to inclement weather.

RUTHERFORD COUNTY LIBRARY

The Young Budding Artists featuring students of Judy Ockert is now on display at the Rutherford County Library on Fairgrounds Road.

IT SNOWED ON OUR PARADE!!!

We are completely moved into our new building, but the parade of art was cancelled due to the snow storm last weekend. On Monday and Tuesday loyal (and strong) volunteers moved everything across the street, dodging snow plows, slush, traffic and puddles. Others unpacked, worked on displays, swept, hooked up plumbing, vacuumed carted stuff up and down stairs and we are now operational and looking good.

What is RCVAG?

In July 1999, interested people gathered to form the Rutherford County Visual Artists Guild. The guild has grown and has become a nonprofit organization in which all types of visual art such as paintings, ceramics, wood carving, and sculpture are now represented. Community outreach includes help to local groups who want to improve the art education and awareness of the visual arts in the community.

Membership is not limited to artists only. If you are interested in and appreciate the visual arts, YOU are also welcome to join us. Help is needed with hanging and arranging art in shows, community education, communication and distribution of information about the guild. Visit, view or purchase art of local artists at Visual Arts Center, 173 N. Main Street, Rutherfordton, NC. Phone: (828) 288 - 5009.
