What is a Yadkin Arts Council Artist Member?:
A Yadkin Arts Council Artist Member is an artist from Yadkin or the surrounding counties who has an interest in producing, selling, teaching, and joining a network of other artists facilitated by the Arts Council staff. In addition to being included in this annual “ArtMe” showcase, our members are invited to showcase as many mediums as they like on the Red Wall Gallery throughout the year. Other benefits include opportunities to teach classes, discounts on taking classes, and quarterly ArtMe events such as luncheons, workshops, and gatherings.

History of the Gallery
The Welborn Gallery was named after Marion and Jewell Welborn of Boonville for the generous lead gift they made to the Center’s capital campaign. The Welborns gifted the final funds needed to close the campaign and make possible the opening of the center.
