4 UCW JANUARY 25 - 31, 2023 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM Last ursday, Gallery 208 launched its 13th year of showcas- ing the art and the artists of our local community, region and state. Our opening exhibit, coordinated by Soni Martin, Professor of Art at Fayetteville State University, is titled States of Mind. It is a collection of paintings by Angela Stout, an extremely talented painter, printmaker and sculptor. Angela perfectly exemplifies how the Fayetteville community values, embraces and nurtures the cul- tural arts. A military veteran, Angela received her Associate of Visual Arts degree locally at Fayetteville Technical Community College and her Bachelor of Arts degree from Fayetteville State University. e exhibit of her works in Gal- lery 208 is one you do not want to miss. Located at 208 Rowan Street, the Gallery is open and free to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. e fine arts are the catalyst for a civilized society. With art comes in- sight, understanding and tolerance. With appreciation and respect for art and artists, there would be no need ever to mandate Diversity, Equality or Inclusion. Historically and tra- ditionally, that's what the cultural arts are all about. It is what Angela is all about and what Up & Coming Weekly is all about.
