Arts Council Notes
Many thanks go to the Moore
County Schools Art Instructors,
Billiegene Garner, and the Town
and Country Merchants
Association for the Youth Art
Show this month. As always the
variety and high quality of work
the students in Moore County are
producing astounded me. The
open house and awards
ceremo;iy was very well at
tended, thanks to the hard work
of the Moore County Cultural
Arts Department and the Town
and Country Merchants
Association. Thanks again.
Another round of applause
should go to the Moore County
Choral Society for their concert
Sunday. They presented the
second and third parts of Han
del’s Messiah. The
professionalism and high quality
of music this group presents is
rarely seen in communities as
small as ours. In order for our
community to help MCCS grow
and remain as professional as
they are, I think we are going to
have to be very supportive by
attending their concerts and
fundraisers and telling other
Promila Sen, Lu Smith In Exhibit
people about them. It is not easy
for arts organizations to survive
and grow in these days of tight
funding, but if we want them to
continue, we must really show
the Moore County Choral Society
that we appreciate what they are
doing and we want it to continue.
On Thursday, May 7, Karen
Mennes, a weaver from Moore
County will be featured at the Art
and Cuisine Luncheon at
Weymouth Center. The luncheon
starts at 12 noon. Tickets are
$4.50 for SAC members and $5 for
nonmembers. Call the SAC for
reservations.
“Southern Literature and the
South Today,” a symposium, will
be held at Weymouth Center on
Saturday, May 9 from 1-4 p.m.
This event is sponsored by the
Friends of Weymouth and the
N.C. Humanities Committee and
is free to the public. The three
panelists are Dr. Louis Rubin,
from UNC and foremost
authority on Sbuthern
Literature, Dr. Guy Owen from
N.C. State, author, and Lee
Smith, novelist from UNC-CH.
“Promila Sen: Watercolor,
Batik and Mixed Media Pain
tings, and Lucrece Smith:
Graffito Drawings, Oil and
Acrylic Painting” will be
opening at Weymouth Center
from 4-6 p.m. on Sunday, May 10.
These artists are from Wilson
and will be at the reception to
meet you and answer questions
about their work. If we are to
continue having high quality
exhibits in the Sandhills we need
to attend the openings and show
that there is support for the
visual arts in the Sandhills.
Please come out Sunday and
meet these artists and take a look
at their work. You don’t need to
dress up and you don’t have to
stay long. It really means so
much to the artist.

High Falls Art
Students in Mrs. Murray’s 7th
grade class at High Falls
Elementary School began an
English project this fall that also
involved Art. They learned the
correct'format for writing letters
and learned about the art of other
countries at the same time. Each
student chose a pen pal from
countries such as South America,
Phillipines, and Australia and
wrote a letter of introduction.
They included an original work
of art drawn in art class in their
letters and asked for an original
work of art in return. Within a
few months the students began
receiving replies.
They shared their letters in
English and Art classes. The
students were interested in the
different types of original pic
tures they received as well as
what their pen pals had to say
about their countries. Amy
Phillips, a student, said she felt
the art work from other countries
was not unlike our own. Timmy
Murray said he learned that the
schools and jobs were different
from ours.
Many students have become so
interested in this project that
they have continued
corresponding with their pen
pals. What a unique way to
generate interest in Art and
English.
