The Jean Dale: Celebrating Harkers Island Boatbuilding September 11 to November 15, 2010

Call for Submissions: "The People’s Exhibition” Background: The fishing vessel “Jean Dale” was donated to the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center in 2000 by Patty Jean Lewis Taylor in remembrance of her father, Harry Lewis. The museum accepted this gift as an outstanding example of the Harkers Island boatbuilding industry and Down East workboats in general. Through generous in-kind and cash donations of many individuals and businesses, the restoration is scheduled for completion in September.

To celebrate the rich history of Island boatbuilding, past & present, the museum is planning an exhibition of Harkers Island boats and boat builders in the education hall of the museum. To be eligible for inclusion in this exhibition, the person (living or deceased) or vessel featured in the submission, must be from Harkers Island, worked at a boatbuilding facility on the Island or in the case of a boat, built on Harkers Island.
Artist Submissions are requested
to be delivered to the museum August 2 through 6

Celebrate North Carolina with “Faces and Places” Exhibit
September 2 through September 30

 RALEIGH – Smiling, working or thoughtful faces are among the images in the “Celebrate North Carolina: Faces and Places”  Photography Exhibit. “Celebrate North Carolina” is an initiative of the Office of First Gentleman Bob Eaves (www.celebrate.nc.gov). Arranged in cooperation with the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources (www.ncculture.com), this exhibit of 30 images from professional and amateur photographers, with a sample from the State Archives collections, will travel to 30 communities across North Carolina from March 1, 2010, through Feb. 19, 2011. 

The Celebrate North Carolina Initiative looks at North Carolina’s past and to her future. “It is a way for us to explore the many gifts our state has to offer,” says Eaves. “The Faces and Places exhibit celebrates our energetic and industrious people.” See photo at left.

and RODNEY’S BACK!  for a series of community night programs …. 

     Community nights – now in its 5th year – continues to be one of the most important elements of the museum’s programming.  It is a special time for visitors, local residents and families to gather to visit and learn from and about community traditions that have held Down East’s culture and economy strong for generations.
     We are especially happy to welcome Rodney back as the leader of our conversations for the next four months.  These community night programs were his idea back in the beginning and we are forever grateful for his vision and commitment to keeping these times of sharing interesting and varied over the years.
      All are welcome.  Supper at 6 and the program at 7.  We hope this month’s focus on the Promise’ Land will bring together all those folks who still remember the distinct character of that neighborhood and will come and join in the discussion.  We also welcome vacationers, visitors and new residents of the county to come and learn about one of the county’s most beloved places. 

September 21 – Shipwrecks
