scavenger hunts and art contests. The project is designed to increase tourism to Fayetteville and Cumberland County.
By showcasing our local artists in a highly visible and creative way, we increase visibility of our museums and parks,
as well as our side streets and unify our community with an icon.
Oh, and if you see one you like, remember the Whimsical Dogwoods will be available for auction in October.
Pieces will be retouched by artists and ready for permanent installation around Fayetteville and Cumberland County!
Imagine them in your garden or at your business as a focal piece.
