The Fayetteville Museum of Art was founded in 1971. Originally housed in downtown Fayetteville's historic Market House, the Museum moved in 1978 to its present facility that was the first building in the State of North Carolina designed and built as an Art Museum. In addition to the modern facility that includes two (2) galleries, classrooms, studio space, an Art Reference & Slide Lending Library, and a Museum Store, the Museum's 5.8 acre grounds and pond give the Fayetteville community a place to gather for relaxation. The park-like setting is an oasis in the midst of a heavily trafficked area; it is also utilized for large scale sculpture displays, art festivals and public concerts. Admission to the Museum is always free, though donations are encouraged. It is the mission of the Fayetteville Museum of Art to collect, conserve, display art, and present a program of art education in order to enhance the appreciation of the visual arts by the people of Fayetteville, Cumberland County, and its surrounding areas.
We are open Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm, and on Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 5pm. Visit www.fayettevillemuseumart.org for more information! The Museum is currently seeking to relocate downtown to Festival Park to suit its expansion needs. A picture of the design for the new building is above. |

Exhibition:
North Carolina Living Treasures, Clay works by Norm Schulman and Cynthia Bringle North Carolina Living Treasures 2009: Cynthia Bringle and Norman Schulman. These living treasure artists explore the transformative nature of clay as it presents itself both conceptually and literally. From Grandfather Mountain to the North Carolina Coast, artists living their legacy have been honored since 1986 with the North Carolina Living Treasures designation by the Museum of World Cultures. The initiative celebrates the value of artists and their talents, art, and their contribution to education and society. Cynthia Bringle has taught many workshops nationwide and at Penland School of Crafts for many years. She is a fellow of the American Craft Council and a recipient of the North Carolina Award for Fine Art. Her work is in the collections of the Mint Museum of Craft and Design, Burlington Art Centre, and the High Museum of Art. Norman Schulman was born in New York City in 1924. He remained in the city and received a diploma from Parsons School of Design before attending New York University, where he earned a bachelor’s (BS) in Art. He received his master in fine arts (MFA) in ceramics from Alfred University, where he held teaching and research fellowships. With that degree in 1958, he changed from design work for an aircraft company to his lifelong career in ceramics, which, in addition to his studio work, included professor and head of ceramics and glass at Rhode Island School of Design and head of Ceramics at Ohio State University. His works are included in many public collections, including the Smithsonian, American Craft Museum, Museum of Art and Design (NY), Mint Museum, Cameron Art Museum and Schein-Joseph International Museum.

More information: As soon as Shannon was old enough to shove crayons in his mouth, his fixation with art began. Born in a rural town outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, Shannon was awed by his surroundings, explaining the heavy prevalence of celestial and natural bodies in his work. A morbid romantic, his pieces delight in a whimsical way, yet teeter into sardonity. Comforting in their often nightmarish view, the works speak to children of all ages. Receiving no formal training, he has taught himself through the careful study of artists Thomas Wilmer Dewing, Maxfield Parrish, Arthur Rackham, Stephen Gammell, and the more contemporary visionary of Maurice Sendak, Tim Burton, and Gris Grimly. A large portion of his work focuses on the charm of turn-of-the-century ads, while other works focus on re-envisioning classic tales. Though he takes a modern approach to art by using colored pencils and oil on paper, an appreciation for a more antiquated time is seen not only in his subject, but also in the finish given to the work-done with deckling and often times staining. This meticulous process creates a finished product that leaves a lasting impression. Visit his website at www.OctoberIllustrations.com.
