with a
permanent display of the traditional arts and folk craft of the people
of the pocosin region of eastern North Carolina. The gallery also
features temporary exhibits, often organized by theme, featuring the
current work of Pocosin Arts program participants, teachers, and
other
regional artists whose work exemplifies our mission. Its
about this place of pocosins, the people, and the things we make...
