Art in the Park

Come and join us for a fun time at “Art in the Park”.  The first annual “Art in the Park” is being featured at The Friendly Market on June 13th from 10-3.  The Friendly Market is located at the corner of Bridges St. Ext. and Friendly Rd. in Morehead City.  

This will be a large gathering of local and regional artists demonstrating and selling their works.  They will work in various mediums including watercolor, pastel, colored pencils, acrylics, mixed media, collage, photography and pine needle basket making.  There will also be artists working with glass and in oils.   Artists from Carven, Carteret, Pamlico, Pitt and Onslow counties will be represented.  The artists will be working throughout the pine tree studded paths of the market.  

Visitors will have the opportunity to stop, watch and talk to these artists and learn from them in a very casual and friendly atmosphere.  It should be a day of fun for all.  Many of these artists are local, state and national award winners.  

Not only will you have a chance to enjoy “Art in the Park” but will have the bonus of enjoying The Friendly Market experience.  This is an upscale open-air market featuring fine art and upscale crafts along with fresh baked goods, fresh local produce and seafood as well as a very large nursery.
