About the Exhibit

Annually, the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County and the Public Works Commission showcase art from our local community. Each summer, our walls are adorned in creative expressions of artists of all ages and skill level. The public votes for their favorite pieces; the artist with the highest votes at the end of the voting period is awarded the People's Choice award.
