This summer, Artsuite and The Umstead Hotel & Spa presented Branching Out: North Carolina Contemporary Artists Interpret Nature. Curated by Marjorie Hodges with Leah Goodnight Tyler and Marcelle Kick, the exhibition included notable artists from around the State. On June 24, a sold-out crowd enjoyed a panel conversation with the artists.
