Art is Alive in Siler City!

Thanks to the creative spirit of Jody Terry, 4-H Program Assistant, 9 youth and two adults took a trip to Siler City to explore the ARTS on Saturday, March 8. With the help of Sue Szary, Director of the NC Arts Incubator in historic downtown
Siler City, we explored art from weaving, painting, stained glass, clay, blacksmithing and so much more! The five hour visit allowed 4-H members an opportunity to see and explore a variety of art in Siler City.

The state theme of 4-H is "COME SEE EXPRESS". Members also painted a piece of pottery which will be fired and picked up and delivered to members next week.

One special 4-H Project was highlighted: Randolph County 4-H club member Jessie Talbott gave the group a special viewing of her 4-H Ambassador Project: A Painted Mural Celebrating the ARTS and its integration with 4-H!

Youth will now go back home and have a better understanding of the variety of arts available to them to explore!
