Join Artists, the Arts Community and the Rockingham County Arts Council at the Dan River Art Market & Gallery for an exhibit of imagery that describes the beauty of nature, the use of nature by business and society and interpretations of Environmental Art. 

 
Several local artists are joining this exhibit: Cheryl Garrity of Madison, NC, who has won several awards with the Fine Art Festival Association and has been published in environmental periodicals, is a recognized photographer of landscapes, wildflowers and wildlife with selections of her work on permanent exhibit at the Justice Center in Wentworth, NC and a variety of locations throughout our county and the Triad. Kathryn Gauldin of Eden, NC will be exhibiting a selection of textile images that reflect nature, found objects and pattern. Kay Spencer of Eden will be sharing several of her new environmental photographs. Other artists participating will be announced as their artwork is confirmed.
 
This special exhibit is pleased to include the photography of recent Carl V. Galie, Jr, recent winner of the Roosevelt - Ashe Conservation award for Journalism for his work on mountain top removal. Carl and North Carolina Poet Laureate Joseph Bathanti have joined together to create a literary and artistic coalition of Galie's photo documentary, "Lost on the Road to Oblivion: The Vanishing Beauty of Coal Country." Galie longs for the viewer's focus to be aimed on mountaintop removal through the Southern Appalachians and the irreversible destruction it has caused to communities of people, scenic views of beauty, and even the sacredness of headstones. The work is on display at Sechrest Art Gallery at High Point University. Carl will present a brief presentation about his work.

Apr 23    Staff Appreciation Luncheon

Please join us for a celebration of
Administrative Professionals Day -
5 Sure Ways to Increase Employee Turnover and What You Can Do About It

The number one reason employees leave companies has nothing to do with money or vacation or benefits. It has to do with appreciation of the lack thereof. Same reason why clients leave also- lack of appreciation.

 There are a number of relatively inexpensive if not free things you can do to increase morale, workflow and results. Change these and change your culture.
