The Collector's Gallery will have a booth outside in the City Plaza on Fayettville Street during Raleigh Wide Open, featuring several of our creative NC craft artists.
The Collector's Gallery and The Mahler will also share a booth inside of the Raleigh Convention Center. The booth will house art from an assortment of artists, showcasing the diversity from the two galleries.
From New Raleigh:
"The event will run from 11am-11pm on Saturday July 31st. This will also be the same day that this year’s Cherry Bounce will take place. This will be the first year that RWO will not coincide with the opening of a major downtown public project. It’s also the first time the event has been in the middle of Summer rather than early Fall. More information on both coming soon but here is what the Mayor announced today:
A parade;
Four stages filled with more than 20 national, regional and local acts;
A beer and wine tent;
A kids zone with blow-up slides and a Carolina Hurricanes interactive area;
More than 50 food, arts and non-profits tents; and, Fireworks."
Come downtown Saturday, July 31st, and support North Carolina art!
