The 2024-2025 season of exhibitions at the Arts Center Gallery, Connections, explores the many ways art weaves people, ideas, and experiences together. Our community shows, PWC Public Works and the Cumberland County High School Juried Show, encourage artists of many ability and age levels to engage with our professional gallery space. Our Southeastern Artist in Residence showcases connects our viewers to a working artist, giving them the rare opportunity to witness an artist’s creative process unfold over a six-month residency. National shows like "Multi-Faceted" and "Kindred Visions" invite artists from across the country to bring their work to Fayetteville. "Multi-Faceted" celebrates diversity of media through a vibrant, colorful display, while Kindred Visions bridges past and future, science fiction and reality, through the lens of Afrofuturism. Closer to home, the Tarheel Quilters’ Guild Nonprofit Showcase demonstrates how our community is, quite literally, stitched together. Collectively, Connections invites reflection on what makes our community unique and how art unites us all.
