Overview
Field Trips are community art excursions to explore the spaces shaping arts and culture in our region
Join us to deepen your understanding of a vital community institution and connect with the artistic heritage of Winston-Salem at Delta Arts Center. The evening will begin with a brief introduction to Delta’s history by Program Director, Timothy Jeffers, followed by a gallery talk by curator Zaire McPhearson about Delta’s impact on the local cultural landscape.
DELTA ARTS CENTER was established in 1972 to celebrate and amplify the contributions of African Americans to the arts and humanities and enrich the lives of neighborhood and area residents. The Center works to increase awareness and knowledge of the contributions of African-Americans, build pride in these contributions, encourage individual creativity, and provide quality cultural and educational programming for the entire community.
FIELD TRIPS are a series of community art excursions to local, arts-based organizations and institutions for an inside look at spaces that are shaping the cultural landscape in the North Carolina triad. The monthly meet-ups are led by NCMA Winston-Salem’s Manager of Audience Engagement and may include collaborative artmaking, movement or sound explorations, guided tours, or creative prompts. Like the field trips of our childhoods, they combine fun and learning, all while showcasing unique, local entities that are rooted in the arts.
