It's All About The Story at The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. - Feb. 19, 2018 - PRLog -- The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts, an artist-owned and operated gallery in downtown Hillsborough, NC, presents the sixth annual featured show, It's All About the Story. Each year gallery members choose a local author and book or story collection to respond to in their own medium. Previous authors include Michael Malone, Jill McCorkle, Lee Smith, Allan Gurganus, and John Bemis. This year the artists have selected a work by Hillsborough author Nancy Peacock as their source of inspiration. Each piece in the group show, It's All About the Story, is inspired by Peacock's memoir, "A Broom of One's Own." The show runs from February 19th-March 25^th, with an opening reception on Friday, February 23rd from 6-9 pm.

Nancy Peacock will read from her book on Sunday March 11th, 4-6pm at the gallery. The reading will be followed by a reception and book signing.

Nancy Peacock is the 2018 North Carolina Piedmont Laureate and the author of three novels, the first of which was chosen as by the New York Times as a Notable Book of the Year. In A Broom of One's Own, the author describes her experiences as a housecleaner and her journey to becoming a writer. The series of stories reflects on the houses she cleaned, the people who lived in them, and her thoughts about writing and the creative life. The artists of the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts respond to these stories in paintings, photography, metal, fiber, glass, ceramics, and wood. It is a show for all those who appreciate rich storytelling and local art.
