The Rhodes Family Restoration and Memorial Foundation have chosen the Art Market to display and offer for sale their new cookbook entitled “The Rhodes Family Cookbook.” Proceeds from the sale of this cookbook will go to this nonprofit organization for the restoration of the home of Austin C. and Matilda F. Spencer Rhodes, furnish it for the period 1866-1936, provide a home-farm atmosphere, and open it to the public, specifically for the use of schools, as a teaching/learning tool.

Each month, the Stokes County Arts Council recognizes a local artist(s) and exhibits the artist’s work in the Apple Gallery. A reception for the artist is held the last Friday of the month from 6 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. The exhibit remains in the gallery for one month and is free for public viewing. Please access the Stokes County Arts Council’s website: www.stokesarts.org for upcoming exhibits and events.
