Wor-Wic Community College will hold a Community Arts Showcase of Excellence event on Friday, Sept. 12, from 3 to 8 p.m. at the college campus at the corner of Route 50 and Walston Switch Road in Salisbury.
The event will feature renowned local artists, musicians, poets and other creators who will perform or exhibit their work throughout the evening. These will include nationally known writer and illustrator Bryan Collier, a Pocomoke City native and four-time Caldecott Honor recipient; noted Berlin painter Patrick Henry; the Eastern Shore Ballet Theatre; Sri Devi Dance School; the Heart & Sole step team and the Lower Shore Performing Arts Co., among many others. The event will also feature children’s activities and food trucks.
Visual arts exhibits will open at Shockley Hall at 3 p.m., and performances will start at 4:30 p.m. in Guerrieri Hall.
“This is a celebration of our Eastern Shore community and all of its richness. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience so many varied expressions of art in one setting,” said Dr. Tiffany Kotra-Loos, clinical coordinator and associate professor in the physical therapist assistant program, and one of the organizers of the event.
The arts showcase is free and open to the public, and no registration is required. The event is part of Wor-Wic’s 50th anniversary celebration.
