Retired Duke professor and N.C. Literary Hall of Fame inductee James Applewhite inspires new works by 15 artists

City Art Gallery is pleased to announce a multi-media invitational show featuring a collection of artwork based on the poetry of retired Duke professor and North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame inductee James Applewhite. The show opens with a reception on Thursday, January 13 from 6 to 8 p.m. at City Art Gallery, 511 Red Banks Road in Greenville. Applewhite will read from his poetry at 7 p.m.

The collection includes paintings, ceramics, photography and sculpture by 15 artists. Each artist was asked to read three poems by Applewhite – Greene County Pastoral, January Farmhouse and Pamlico River – and then create a work inspired by the poem of their choosing.

Participating artists include: Colleen Black-Semelka, Tony Breuer, Ranny Chitwood, Mike Dorsey, Richard Fennell, Richard Garrison, the late Paul Hartley, Jeff Kiefer, Michael Knoch, Louis St. Lewis, Bob Rankin, Joyce Stratton, Sally Sutton, Jim Tisando and Kate Worm.

The show continues through February 6 and benefits the North Carolina Literary Review, an annual publication produced by East Carolina University. Margaret Bauer, editor of the North Carolina Literary Review, will make opening remarks. For more information, visit CityArtGreenville.com.

Graffiti Artists

Calling all graffiti artists!  "Banksy" is a great British street artist, known for producing images on walls of buildings, sidewalks, fallen trees, bridges, and other imaginative places.  His messages are sometimes comical, and often political and social in nature.  Initailly an unknown, he has developed quite a popular cult following, and people are now flattered to have this phenomenal artist paint on their wall!  His first film "Exit Through the Gift Shop" opened at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.  It is available on DVD in the US.

Do you know any famous American street artists?  If so...let us know!
