The Wilkes Art Gallery located in North Wilkesboro, NC held an opening night exhibition reception on Friday, May 19. The Gallery has a new exhibit entitled, Of Wit and Wisdom. This exhibition will be on display from May 19 through June 30.
The evening honored local artist Ward Nichols for his life achievement in artwork. His work includes paintings and magazine collages. The commissioners of North Wilkesboro approved of conaming C Street with the honorary name Ward Nichols Way.
Music was provided by Todd Wright along with hor d’oeuvres and refreshments. The weather cooperated. The street was partially closed to allow for the festivities to be held outdoors. The exhibit also features the art of Adam Kahn, Keegan Watson, and Tom Acosta.
