CityViewNC.com | 23 "e art scene here has grown immensely. I love to see events like the Art Walkabout and see how they are progressing. Any event like this that brings creative minds together is a beautiful thing." From Gallery 116th, I headed to e Sweet Palette, where Patsy Crawford had her fashion illustrations on display in an exhibit entitled "A Love From My Past." Crawford was busy speaking with everyone who was there, so I enjoyed her illustrations and the music Kia Walker, owner of e Blue Violin Music Education Center, was playing her very own blue violin. Alter Egos Gallery and Studio, a new gallery on Gillespie Street owned by Marcos Mata and his wife April Day Mata, has a great energy. Both Marcos and his wife were very friendly. Alter Egos hosts paint nights and other DIY-specific nights that revolve around the arts, for beginner and expert artists alike. City Center Gallery and Books, Element Salon, and Ellington White are other art locations to stop in and explore, but my last stop of the night was the lobby of 300 Hay Street that had a collection of paintings from various local artists. e Art Walkabout is a very unique experience. It's about the coming together of local artists and the rest of the community. What a wonderful way to enjoy downtown Fayetteville and explore the people and the art galleries you may have missed otherwise. e next Art Walkabout will be October 12, 2017. In 2018, the Art Walkabout has been scheduled for the dates of January 11, April 12, and July 14.
