Abstract:
North Carolina artist Jim Starrett’s paintings and drawings will be on display in the North Carolina Gallery this fall.

A selection of Jugtown pottery from the Museum’s permanent collection will be on display in the North Carolina Gallery this summer.

As a result, the art form flourished and a major market was created for the pottery in New York.
