Exhibit Opening: Interpreting Drums: The Art of Historical Fiction

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the powerful intersection of art and literature at the opening of Interpreting Drums: The Art of Historical Fiction.

This special exhibit features three original paintings by renowned American artist N.C. Wyeth, created for the commemorative edition of Drums, James Boyd’s novel set in Revolutionary War-era North Carolina. These paintings — long held in storage — bring Boyd’s vivid narrative to life, capturing the spirit and struggle of a young nation through the eyes of art.

Be among the first to view these iconic works at this exclusive opening night event. Your $75 ticket includes hors d'oeuvres, an open bar, and remarks on the historic unveiling of this extraordinary collection.

Interpreting Drums will be on view from June 13, 2025, through December 31, 2026.

Mingle with fellow lovers of art and literature, and experience firsthand how visual storytelling deepens and expands the historical imagination.

Tickets: $75
