Lee Watson, president of the Muddy River Art Association, described her anticipation for the show.

“The creation of art, by nature, is a solitary experience,” Watson said. “So I am grateful for this opportunity to come together as a community of artists and art enthusiasts for a day of fun and inspiration.”

Sandi Scannelli, the president/CEO of the Shallow Ford Foundation added, “We are super excited about this show. We encourage all Clemmons area artists, whether budding and seasoned artists, to consider an entry. It will be wonderful to see their talent locally showcased for the community to enjoy.  The Muddy River Art Association has been a fantastic partner with many gifted members, which makes this event even more special. Importantly, we could not be more grateful to the Bingham family for their support of the arts.”
