Local artists, this is your sign. 🎨✨

Local business The Cut Cocktail Lounge is looking to feature local artwork in an upcoming show and is currently seeking artists from across Jackson County and Western North Carolina.

One of the things we love most is seeing local businesses intentionally create space for artists, makers, and creatives to share their work with the community. Opportunities like this help strengthen the creative ecosystem that makes our region so special.

Fiber artists, painters, illustrators, mixed media artists, photographers, printmakers, and more! This could be a great opportunity to get your work in front of new audiences.

Go show them what you’re creating. 🖤
