“Secrets to Creativity and Inspiration”
with Alexis Lavine, AWS, NWS
Saturday, October 10, 3:30 - 4:45
Do you ever wonder what fires up an artist’s brain, gets her going ... drawing, designing, and painting? Join Alexis Lavine, a noted watercolor painter with national recognition for her work, to learn some of her “secrets”, as she unlocks her imagination for you. Along with that, she will talk about her many years of creating art and learning how to tame and utilize watercolor, the most fickle and unpredictable of all painting mediums! Alexis will show you lots of examples, tell you interesting stories, and present a brief painting demo, so you can experience the magic of watercolor happening right in front of you!
Alexis will also have a special selection of watercolors with her, for a special one-day-only opportunity to see and purchase them.
Bring your curiosity, your wonder, and your questions … and you'll have a great time!
Visit Alexis’ website at www.alexislavineartist.com to learn more about her and then join her at The Marshall Muse Gallery on October 10 for a fascinating presentation!

Murder at The Muse: An Immersive Murder Mystery
Saturday, October 10 | 6:00 - 9:00 PM
$65
It's 1926, and The Marshall Muse Gallery is unveiling a "rediscovered" masterpiece, The Midnight Muse. Prosecco is poured, secrets are simmering, and before the night is over, someone in the room won't make it home.
Guests spend the evening moving freely through the gallery's real studios, creating Art Deco keepsakes, meeting a cast of 1920s characters, and piecing together clues hidden throughout the building. When the murder happens, the investigation begins, and you may find you've only solved half the story.
Costumes are highly encouraged, but never required. Think Art Deco, 1920’s, and a glamorous evening at an elegant art gallery.
Our Featured September Nonprofit
is The NC Folk Festival
The North Carolina Folk Festival is a nonprofit organization (501c3) that honors, celebrates, and shares the meaningful ways communities express their creativity and cultural traditions through music, dance, food, crafts and other folk arts to enhance appreciation of diverse traditions and contribute to community vibrancy and inclusivity.
The NC Folk Festival grew out of the National Folk Festival, which was held in Greensboro from 2015 to 2017. When the National Folk Festival moved on, the community came together to create a locally-produced successor that would continue the tradition.
