Wesleyan College's Exhibition Program, the Mims, and Four Sisters Galleries have achieved more than a decade of history as a venue, nexus, and teaching resource in the eastern Carolina cultural community. We have brought professional art to Rocky Mount from seventeen different countries. We have continued to advocate Coastal Plain folk art through Four Sisters Gallery programs. We owe our success to you the audience, to all the artists who have contributed their effort and time with gallery visitors, collectors, media, and students, and also to North Carolina Wesleyan College for its institutional support.
