Wake Forest artist M. Theresa Brown is known for her portraits, but she is also a skilled fiber artist, hand-drawing designs or carving blocks to print on the silk. She will be displaying and selling her creations Friday night, May 8, at Wake Forest Art & Frame Shop during the monthly downtown art stroll, Art After Hours.
There will be refreshments in the shop as there will be in other stores and studios along South White Street and nearby streets from 5 to 9 p.m. Wake Forest Downtown will provide free horse and carriage rides, and usually some enterprising musicians provide free music.
Upstairs over Wake Forest Coffee Company, the artists in the Artists Loft & Gallery are celebrating their first anniversary. Join them for some cake and see their featured artist, Marcia Streithorst. There are new classes available; see them on the new web site, www.wfartistsloft.com.
Linda Burrell at Sunflower Studio on East Jones Avenue will feature her students, ages 6 to 21, and you will also find the works of Burrell and the other resident artists.
There is a new resident artist, Pam Rhode, at The Cotton Company, and she is the featured artist this month. There will be live music by Dan Blaisdell.
Pam Jay at Next Consignment Boutique always has music but did not have complete information by press time. She says NC Beach Bingo will have a promotion during Art After Hours; ask for a punch card when you make a purchase in any downtown store. You could win $50.
