Downtown ARTWALK Friday, March 9, 5 - 8 pm

Downtown’s ARTWALK is a great way to enjoy the work of so many fine artists and have an enjoyable evening absorbing the ambience of downtown, attending receptions, ambling along the streets, meeting and greeting friends and acquaintances, browsing through the many shops and dining in one of the many fine restaurants.

The Bank of the Arts features the 11^th Annual Craven County Schools student art exhibit and opening reception with pianist Dayton Vesper; MJs Raw Bar & Grill displays abstract paintings by Lisa Bisbee; New Bern ArtWorks & Co. reception kicks off an exhibit by Eric McRay, Not Just Pretty Pictures; Raleigh artist Dan Nelson’s oil paintings, Painting the Town - New Bern, will be at Carolina Creations; Mimi Dixon’s work is on exhibit at the Next Chapter Bookstore, and Charles Hines work will be at the Farmer’s Market. Local authors Flora Ann Scearce will also be at the Next Chapter and Phil Bowie at the Farmer’s Market.

It’s hard to believe the changes that have taken place over the past 35 years…in the early days of the revitalization effort, we could only dream events like this  would actually become a reality. How fortunate we are to live in New Bern.
