The North Carolina Museum of Art Winston-Salem, formerly\u00a0SECCA, is setting up shop downtown while renovations continue\u00a0at the museum\u2019s forever home in Buena Vista. <\/p>\n
The new space on 4th Street in the heart of the city\u2019s entertainment and business district is a stone\u2019s throw from where the museum first opened as an artist-run gallery 70 years ago. Beginning this summer, directors will bring visitors, artists and organizations together there to spark creativity through a variety of programs \u2014 outdoor concerts, vinyl nights and exhibitions. <\/p>\n
Associate Director Devon Mackay says the first, titled \u201cUnboxed,\u201d will feature North Carolina artists who\u2019ve contributed to the museum\u2019s Portable Gallery program.<\/p>\n
“We started to commission contemporary work from great artists in North Carolina to bring into the Winston-Salem\/Forsyth County school system,” says Mackay. “We now take it to surrounding counties. And so it’s about 13 artists, and it’s all different types of mediums, different parts of North Carolina. There’ll definitely be a few of your favorites there, but also people you have never heard of before.”<\/p>\n
