4th Friday Gets Creepy
by STEPHANIE CRIDER
If you haven't been to a 4th Friday lately, this month is a great time to change
that. Shops, restaurants and galleries kick
things in to high gear, but October's 4th
Friday on Oct. 25, has several extra activities
that many people will find interesting.
We've all heard talk of the Zombie
Apocalypse. Well, check out downtown around
8 p.m., as the Third Annual Zombie Walk
Invasion lurches and creeps its way through
the festivities. All interested zombies are invited
to meet at the Headquarters Library in full
apocalypse attire at 7 p.m. Following the walk,
the Climbing Place will host Cirque du Zombie,
complete with flying bodies. The show is free
and starts at 9 p.m.
In the spirit of all things creepy and
macabre, The Arts Council Fayetteville/
Cumberland County is set to open a new
exhibit called A Sense of Horror.
Revelers at last year's Zombie Walk.
"It's in keeping with the time of year,"
said Mary Kinney, art director at The Arts
Council. "People may be surprised to find that the exhibit is more about the gasp
than it is the scream. It is not about guts and gore, it is about making the hair
standup on the back of your neck. This is a show that captures horror but only the
sense of it. It is like watching a Hitchcock movie and having those goose bumps
and knowing what is happening in the scene without having to see it."
The Arts Council is encouraging people to buy the art at the exhibit.
"It is the perfect opportunity to buy something unique," said Kinney. "It's a way
to support local artists, too."
Another exhibit that must not be missed is the Cape Fear Studios 2013 Annual
Member Artists Holiday Season Exhibit featuring guest artist Laura Cardwell. The
holiday show offers original and unique pieces of art perfect for holiday gift
giving or a treat for yourself. Cape Fear
Studios offers 2-D and 3-D art including
paintings, printed cards, jewelry, pottery,
glass, wood and more.
Laura Cardwell is from Asheville, N.C.,
and was a Niche Award finalist and a BMAC
Merit Award winner. Her current work
includes fusing, forging, raising and stone
setting in Argentium silver, sterling silver,
gold plated and vermeil pieces and copper.
Historic Hauntings is a hayride that
makes several stops through out Fayetteville
and explores the spooky and often
overlooked history of Fayetteville. The
Fayetteville Area Transportation and Local
History Museum is one of the stops on
the Historic Hauntings route and will have
plenty going on this 4th Friday.
Fascinate-U children's museum has had
a face-lift recently. Moms and Dads may
want to stop by and see the new farm exhibit and new carpet while the kids
make a creepy-crawly spider craft with pipe cleaners. The museum is open
from 7-9 p.m. and admission and the craft project are free.
4th Friday runs from 7-9 p.m. While the event is free and there are
many free activities, shops and restaurants are open and
offer some great deals and discounts. Find out more about
all the exciting events going on
downtown this 4th Friday at www.
