N.C. artist Scoot Nurkin has created a mural for the N.C. Aquarium on an outside wall of the building that previously, went largely unnoticed.

Beginning in October, Nurkin used paint to depict a marsh theme, “including a blue heron wading in the water and pelicans flying overhead.”

A natural playground is expected to be built in front of the mural in the future, providing children with a treasured habitat for a backdrop.

The Asheville Citizen-Times has compiled a brief list of opportunities for art lovers in Asheville that will run from now until late November. Artists range from a North Carolina native to French painter Jean Claude Roy.

 

Thirty-nine artists all over Alamance County will open their studios beginning on Oct. 16 for all to visit, shop and learn how these artists produce their work and craft. This is an initiative sponsored by the Alamance Artisans Guild.
