Fine Arts Festival: Listen, Look, and Buy

Wayne Community College’s Spring Fine Arts Festival, set for the evening of Thursday, April 28, will offer music, art, and the chance to take home a student masterpiece.

It will begin with an art show that opens at 6 p.m. in the Atrium of the Wayne Learning Center on the college’s main campus in Goldsboro. Dozens of pieces in various media created by students in the college’s Drawing, Painting, and Design classes will be featured.

New to this festival is a juried art show and sale that will benefit the Foundation of Wayne Community College. The juried show consists of pieces by current and past students from WCC Art Instructor Angie Waller’s studio courses. Judges Sarah Merritt, the executive director of the Arts Council of Wayne County, and Lou Ann Smith, a former art teacher, will award first through third places.

“This is an excellent way to purchase an original and affordable piece of art that directly helps students at Wayne Community College,” said Ms. Waller.

A choral concert will start at 7 p.m. in Moffatt Auditorium in the Wayne Learning Center. The program, with a theme of “Throwback Thursday,” will be performed by the college’s chorus.

“I am so lucky to have a group of students who understand the importance of learning from history and building upon the success of past musicians,” said WCC Music Instructor Brad Collier “The repertoire for this concert consists of music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. It is by no means a comprehensive representation of the music from these decades; however, it is a wonderful representation of the musical styles and preferences of the chorus members.”

All parts of the festival are free and open to the public.
