Best of North Carolina 2026
Mar 28th –
May 9th, 2026
Opening Reception: Sunday, March 29, 1-3pm
Gallery owner, art historian, and North Carolina native Charlene Newsom employs her broad knowledge of NC art to curate an extensive exhibition celebrating the most influential NC artists of the 20th century. Every year in March, Gallery C presents “The Best of North Carolina” collection.
The show includes landmark pieces by some of the biggest names and most important North Carolina art from the 20th century. Historic artists such as George Bireline, Francis Speight, Sarah Blakeslee, and Hobson Pittman will be included.
Gallery C would like to dedicate this year’s BONC to artist Clyde Jones, who we sadly lost on February 28th. He will always be remembered as one of NC’s very best.
