The much anticipated annual exhibition “The Best of North Carolina” will open March 21st at Gallery C.  Gallery owner and art historian Charlene Newsom employs her broad knowledge of North Carolina art to curate an extensive collection. All of the work exhibited are landmark pieces by important North Carolina artists.  Some of the biggest names and best North Carolina art from the 19th and 20th Centuries are included in this year’s show.

This year’s opening reception is in association with the Joel Lane Museum House.

The Joel Lane Museum House, built in 1769, is the oldest extant dwelling in Wake County and a significant historic site in the heart of Raleigh. In 1792, Joel Lane sold 1,000 acres of his land to the State of North Carolina on which to build the new capital city, Raleigh. Today, the privately-owned Joel Lane Museum House offers tours led by costumed docents, a full schedule of lectures and events, field trips and group tours for all ages, and semi-annual Open Houses with activities for the whole family.
