Hiddenite Center Expands Gallery with Emerging Artists Exhibit Space

In an effort to enhance our services and offer greater opportunities for experiencing the arts, The Hiddenite Center has expanded gallery offerings to include a new exhibit space dedicated to showcasing the work of emerging artists. Located on the third floor of the Center's Lucas Mansion, the Emerging Artists Wall will feature monthly exhibits designed to bring greater awareness to the diversity and abundance of talent among artists and art students in the region.

The inaugural Emerging Artist Wall exhibit will feature the work of Mitchell Community College art student, Devyn Lopez. The exhibit will open tomorrow, Thursday, March 12, 2015 and will be on display through April 28, 2015. All Emerging Artists Wall exhibits and Lucas Mansion Gallery exhibits are free and open to the public Monday - Friday from 10:00am until 4:30pm and on Saturday from 10:00am until 3:00pm.

Devyn Lopez is a senior at Mitchell Community College in Statesville, where she is a fine arts major. Lopez is excited to be the first artist chosen to participate in the Hiddenite Center's new emerging artist space.
