ART-O-MAT

This experience is unlike any other museum visit one has ever had. This exhibit, created by Clarke Whittington of Winston-Salem, consists of artistically redesigned, former-cigarette machines which contain miniature works of art. These small art pieces, which may include sculpture, jewelry, drawings, paintings, etc., can be purchased for $5.00 by inserting money/token and pulling a lever. Whittington has placed Art-o-Mat machines in The Smithsonian American Art Museum and Whitney Museum among others. This is the first exhibit of the Art-o-mat in Iredell County. Free admission.
Hours: Tuesdays- Thursday 10-7:00, Thursday-Fridays 10-5:00, Saturday, March 2 10:00-2:00.

Art-In-Bloom Event
April 11
9:00-1:00pm
Statesville Civic Center
Join us for this fun spring event started by Amy Steele 20 years ago. Event activities include coffee and mimosas while you browse, silent auction, gourmet bake sale, refrigerated goods sale, luncheon, and special program. Ron Matthews of Johnson's Greenhouse will be presenting the program "The Four Seasons". Tickets are $35 and will be on sale beginning in March at the Court Street Gallery. Amy's vision was to someday have the event raise $25000 dollars to support the museum and that is our goal this year as we honor Amy's memory.

The Court Street Gallery, in downtown Statesville. currently hosts rotating art and historic collections exhibits and the museum offices.

Visitors to Gregory Creek Homestead can experience life as it was lived in the early days of Iredell County. The site includes eight buildings dating back to the 1760's.

The Kids@Play children's museum is a 1700 sq. ft. play space containing a wide variety of exciting exhibits that allow children to explore and express themselves.
