“Creative work is a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got.” – Steven Pressfield

A seven year old great grandchild brought me to an art exhibit at The Dunn Center by way of her end of the year dance recital. I was able to have a few minutes with this dear lady, Janice Gravely, who is 1/2 of the exhibit outside the auditorium. Here is the link I wrote at the time of Janice’s death, which I hope you have time for. Click ON: https://wordpress.com/post/mainstreetrockymount.com/9065
The Dunn Center is a venue for the performing arts at North Carolina Wesleyan University in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. It hosts the 1,180 seat Minges Auditorium, Powers Recital Hall, Mims & Gravely Art Galleries, Carlton Board Room, and Garner Lobby banquet hall. Beyond the student life at Wesleyan, The Dunn Center plays a significant role in the life of the area as well. This Main Street blog, on behalf of all of us, THANK WESLEYAN for all they add to our lives.

“”Michelle Franklin, a fluid artist from North Carolina, will present her Mich- Mich Art Exhibition that will run May 18-August 11th. Through her computer-generated artwork enhancements, you will be able to point your mobile phone at each piece of artwork to experience an enhanced virtual effect. It is very different from anything we have had here before and we know that you will enjoy the event. Please come and experience the visual ARTS at The Dunn Center.”
