WADESBORO The Anson County Chamber of Commerce welcomed another business to the area as the Arts Council opened the “new” Drake Gallery and Studio.
The gallery is part of the Anson County Arts Council. The current artist feature in the gallery is Michael J. Phillips with his “FaceTime” collection.
Walking through the gallery you will spot people you may already know as Phillips highlights portraits of friends from the theatre and Arts Council.
His detailing and perfection of faces has been honed over his 45 years of working as a hairstylist.
“Observing bone structure, proportions, facial features, and coloring became second nature,” Phillips wrote in his collection description.
WADESBORO Driving into Wadesboro from US 74, visitors could see a beautiful, colorful mural on the side of a brick building on Rutherford Street, welcoming you to the town.
Now that eye-catching mural is hiding inside the Anson County Arts Council building as it waits for the ACAC staff to find a permanent home for the art instillation.
Visitors and community members now enter the town and are welcomed by a brick building on the corner with long wooden slats still on the side of the building, evidence that the mural once stood high. Below you see high fences and barbed wire put up by the Anson Regional Medical Service (ARMS).
