Join us for networking with other local creatives and enjoy a presentation and update on the RAA’s project Leading Ladies of Rutherford County History: The Women Who Inspire Us.
Andrea Loughry and Antionette van Zelm, key members of the Leading Ladies project team, will share some fascinating stories about women of Rutherford County history. Be encouraged by these women’s resolve to enrich our communities and by the great efforts they made in the process of change.
There will also be an opportunity to purchase tickets to the original play "Party of Twelve" by Mary Donnet Johnson, which will be performed at Patterson Park in April.
Please come prepared to share arts news from your own practice or organization! Flyers and business cards welcome. Whether you’re a RAA member or just interested in checking us out, we welcome you!
There’s plenty of free parking at Patterson Park.
