The show was started 18 years ago to mark the first anniversary of 9/11 and has continued since then to promote kindness in the word through art and connecting people. The show is hosted on a private 17-acre farm in Chatham County. There are numerous artists who show their work, and it is a wonderful collection of the serious and the whimsical, the large and the small, and a great way to show children that art can be an integral part of every day life. Come Out and Play sculpture show opens with a huge reception on Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25, 2019, noon until dark. It continues the next four Saturdays, August 31, September 7, 14, and 21 starting at 3 p.m. and ending at dark. It is free to everyone and dogs on leashes are encouraged to attend. There is wonderful art of all media, live music, and food and drink. The music is provided by the NC Songwriters Co-op. I'll be playing Saturday September 14 at 3:20
