NC Arboretum Begins New Exhibitis Today

May 28 - Sept 6  Botanical Chords and The Fine Art of Wood   Two new exhibits at the NC Arboretum:

Botanical Chords by Terry Ashley blurs the line between science and art. A former research scientist at Yale University School of Medicine, Ashley developed her technique while pursuing her hobby of photographing plant parts under the light microscope. Ashley termed her art “chords” because they connect two separate images, one traditional plant photograph and one image taken at a cellular level.

The Fine Art of Wood  is an International Invitational Exhibition of Woodturning featuring the work of more than 40 artists from across the country and around the world. The exhibit will showcase a wide variety of style and presentation, from pedestal and tabletop pieces to wall hangings.
