In June, eight teachers, artists, volunteers and community leaders shared through their personal stories how and why the arts are so valuable in our community. Their testimonials, beautifully shot and edited by Market Street Studios, were packaged as a benefit for the Cabarrus Arts Council that we called Breakfast in Bed for the Arts. A replacement for our annual in-person fundraiser, Breakfast for the Arts, this virtual version lives permanently on our website: http://bit.ly/2MdQR5z. Shown, from left, first row, is Tiffany Lassiter and Karen Cobb; second row, Adele Vensel, Grant Maginnis, Deb Reid and Noelle Rhodes Scott; and third row, Sandra Torres and Matthew Minchew.
In October, the Cabarrus Arts Council partnered with Habitat for Humanity, and with the assistance of an art instructor, families created beautiful art to hang in their new homes. It’s a partnership we hope to continue.
Local musicians play at the entrance of Atrium Health in Concord, as part of Clock-in Concerts, a program to give frontline health care workers a much needed pick-me-up before beginning their 12-hour shifts. Clock-in Concerts featured artists including, clockwise, Daniel Gurley, Erin Hicks, Jim Avett, Jim’s fiddler and David Domingo.
Musicians recorded messages and songs of gratitude for health care workers during the early days of the COVID crisis. Pictured from top left to right are Cadence Olszewski, HL Ruth, John Culbreth, Motion Dance Studio dancers, Marty Dejarnette, Paleface, Randy Rampey, John Turner, Daniel Gurley, Erin Hicks, David Domingo, Rachel and Jackson McWaters, Greg Ragan, Mike and Rene Russell, Morgan Hunkele, Timmy Fasano and Sonia Rosales.
A new partnership with Cabarrus Brewing Co. brought us back together safely. With limited seating, social distancing, mandatory masks and other safety measures, Dinner for the Arts combined fine cuisine with music and visual art.
