Abstract:
The art of Long Creek, Pender County, North Carolina native Minnie Evans will be displayed through this spring in the North Carolina Gallery. Evans work is often inspired by a religious vision she had in the 1930s and from her time as a gatekeeper at the Airlie Gardens at Wrightsville Beach. Evans work often incorporates nature and is described as being closer to Near Eastern art than Western prototypes. The approximately 30 works include paintings, drawings, and collages.

Abstract:
Scott Blackwell founded the Immaculate Baking Company, which makes gourmet cookies, in 1995. Blackwell also travels the back roads of the South to find the art of obscure, often elderly folk artists. He promotes this folk art by putting it on packages of his cookies. On the sides of the packages he includes photographs and profiles of the artists. Currently Blackwell is engaged in building the Folk Artist's Museum next to the cookie plant. The museum is scheduled to open in 2006.
