Dear Members & Friends,

You are cordially invited to a gallery reception on Thursday, October 5th 2023, from 5:30-7:30PM to celebrate the opening of a very special exhibit called “The Art of Bertie: Yesterday and Today.” BCAC has teamed up with the Historic Hope Foundation to deliver a show filled with art reflecting images of people, places, and pastimes in Bertie County. Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served. We hope to see you there!

In addition to the spectacular local artwork that has already been delivered, we have another special announcement! Dot Andrews has generously donated a painting by the late beloved local master painter, Dr. Fred Saunders, which will be sold via silent auction. The silent auction begins at 5:30PM on opening night and ends 12:00PM on Thursday, November 9th, 2023. More information will be available at the reception.

If you can’t make it to the reception on 10/05/23 but are interested in seeing the show in person or purchasing a piece of artwork from the collection, don’t worry. This show will hang in our gallery through November 9th. There will also be a corresponding virtual show posted to our website www.bertiearts.com.

Regards,

Bertie County Arts Council & Friends of Historic Hope Foundation
