Remember the 70’s? At East Carolina University Art School it was a time of creativity, fun, hard work, making friends and drinking beer! Those of us fortunate enough to attend school during those years were forever molded by our experiences and friendships. Many of us are still making art and making a living at it, defying the odds.
Carolina Bronze East, a studio and gallery space, located in the Historic Lucks Cannery in Seagrove, NC is owned by two ECU grads, ‘76, Ed Walker and Melissa Stanfield Walker. They want to showcase the incredible talent that walked through the art school during that decade. We welcome submissions from both alumni and faculty for “The 70’S Show” at Carolina Bronze East. The show runs May 14-July 7, 2022. The address is 365 Fernandez Loop, Suite 205, Seagrove, NC 27341. For questions email Melissa@carolinabronze.com or call 336-873-8291.
