On Display September 3 – Octobe 30, 2026

This collection of “watercolors” by master craftsman Rick Jones is accompanied by storyboards of “words” by artist and writer, Marilyn Ingram. The story, unfolding during a time where there were no cameras, cell phones, or even a typewriter, is told through the eyes of artists, field correspondents who would paint, draw or write a journal. The paintings include scenes at the Shallow Ford and nearby battle area, Moravian settlements along the great wagon road, and annual commemoration in Huntsville, NC. The words are researched through works including “Records of the Moravians” and NC State Archives. This exhibition is presented in partnership with The Lewisville Area Arts Council and was supported by the America 250 NC Community Grant.

An opening reception will be held September 3 from 5-7pm at the Yadkin Cultural Arts Center.

Refreshments will be served.

Free Admission, all are welcome to attend.

**There will be a second celebration of this exhibit on Friday, October 9 (5-7pm) in honor of the 246th Commemoration Weekend of this historical event.**
