April 22 - May 18, 2013 - 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM |
| Franklin Square Gallery Featured Artists |
| The latest work of painter Carol Kidd and potter Betsy Sellers will be showcased at the next Members Show. Composed with strong colors and contrast, Carol Kidd’s canvasses reflect her view of local and European scenes. “My travels influence and inspire many of my paintings, some of my favorite topics being the landscapes of Tuscany, Provence, and of course, the beaches and marshes at home.” Appreciated for her great variety of styles, Betsy Sellers displays wheel-thrown pottery often combined with hand-building, carving and piercing. “I am so intrigued by the clay’s fluidity, which can be shaped, bisque-fired, glazed, fired in the kiln, and then last thousands of years….the possibilities are only limited by one’s imagination, a few laws of physics, and maybe one’s patience.” A reception will be held on Friday, May 3 from 5 to 7 p.m.

| Southport Christmas Flotilla |
| The Southport Christmas Flotilla 2013 sets sail on December 14th at 7:00pm. Anywhere along the river-front from the Southport Marina/Old Yacht Basin to Kingsley Park will afford you a view as the beautifully decorated boats pass by. Boats of all sizes and shapes, power and sail will illuminate the dart night all the way “From the North-Pole to South-Port”. Once again, Southport Elementary School art students will judge the boats on the variety and creativity of their decorations. Downtown Southport Inc (DSI), Cape Fear Yacht Club and the City of Southport Department of Tourism are sponsoring the Southport Christmas Flotilla. |
