Latest Buzz on ... Fashion, Food and Fun
Tis The Season - Raleigh First Friday, September 6 Labor Day weekend has come and gone. Fall fashions and football are kicking off ... and this month's First Friday (September 6) is giving new meaning to tailgating. Considered one of Raleigh's most popular evening escapes, the cooler nights make it a breeze to enjoy the art, dining, museum, and shopping venues. Think of it as an artistic pep rally - a place to take your out-of-towners before the big game. Although there are no pig pickin's (except for The Pitt), most galleries and many of the shops offer free refreshments and are open late for revelry. And the bars and restaurants have plenty of room for your posse (i.e. team). So kick off your artistic license and pay attention to the fine print (below). Website From Murphy to Manteo at the Nature Art Gallery: The Nature Art Gallery is proud to present studies, sketches, and preliminary drawings by NC artist, Chris Wilson done in preparation for his "portrait" of North Carolina. Wilson is creating 100 landscape paintings of scenes and vistas along Highway 64 that runs from Murphy to Manteo. This ongoing work has been underway since 2007 and is scheduled for completion in 2014. A reception to celebrate this exhibit will take place First Friday, September 6 from 6:30 pm-9 pm. Exhibition Website Grapes on the Move at the Wine Feed: The Wine Feed will be pouring six delicious wines for you to taste from the fabulous portfolio of Empire Distributors. All of these wines are made with grapes that have found second homes away from their region of origin. Artworks from their talented neighbors at The Carter Building will be on display and musical entertainment by the Peggy Hayes & Doug Kobs jazz duo. Cost: $5 for wine club members / $10 for the general public. Website Silver Gelatin Prints from the 1930's at Gallery C: Born in New Bern, North Carolina, Bayard Wootten is one of the American South's most significant early female photographers. Best known for her photographs from the 1930's that demonstrate her mastery of a large range of subjects including scenes of the North Carolina Mountains, the Carolina islands and coastline, Charleston, botanical studies and images of the mountain people of the Appalachians. Exhibition at Gallery C from September 6 - October 1. First Bite - New Downtown Raleigh Restaurant Openings: A host of new fares have opened (or are opening September 6). Check out Joule Coffee (Ashley Christianson's remake of the Wilmoore Caf�), Jimmy V's Osteria and Bar at the Sheraton Hotel, Yellow Dog Bakery (official opening September 6) at 219 E. Franklin Street. Possible opening: Stanbury (938 N. Blount), a new neighborhood restaurant and bar. Nuvo Stores: New boutiques have sprouted up across downtown Raleigh - from high-end men's clothing to handmade bags to flip flops. One of the newest, Nuvonivo, is a children's apparel store carrying high quality play clothes from Germany and Canada along with a line of toys from Vermont. It will be open  | High Cotten |
during First Friday. Nora & Nicky's is a designer resale consignment shop that has opened at 19 W. Hargett Street (near High Cotton - great southern comfort fashions and ties). Social Status, a men's boutique offering brand-name clothing, footwear and accessories from companies such as Nike, Adidas, En Noir, Versace Collection and Gazelle Sunglasses is now open in Market Square next to Woody's Tavern.

For Us the Living: The Civil War Art of Mort K�nstler at NC Museum of History
Brother Against Brother: The Civil War tore the nation apart, pitting brother against brother. The North Carolina Museum of History is pleased to host a free exhibition (August 23 - Jan 05, 2014) of the artwork of renowned historical artist Mort Kunstler. This show focuses on K�nstler's work on scenes from the Civil War and are accompanied by text in K�nstler's own words. His meticulously researched and detailed artwork provides a unique glimpse into the war years. It covers the tumult of the battlefield and the everyday drama of the men and women who lived through the turmoil of the most tragic war in U.S. history. K�nstler has selected 33 original paintings from his personal collection for the exhibit. One of these Civil War paintings, titled "Capitol Farewell", features the NC State Capitol and will be unveiled especially for the NC Museum of History exhibit.
Illustrator Extraordinaire: Mort K�nstler began his professional art career in the 1950s as an illustrator for adventure magazines, paperback books, and movie posters. Although he is known for his dedication to authentically portraying even the smallest details in his painting, he is equally skilled in using visual effects and technical ability to bring those stories to life. He followed in the tradition and style of other illustrators like Norman Rockwell and J.C. Leyendecker. The style of his work compares to artists from the 19th century such as Thomas Moran, Winslow Homer and Frederick Church.
Put Your Capital on the Capitol: On Saturday, September 14, from 11am to 3pm, K�nstler will sign prints of "Capitol Farewell" in the Museum Shop, the first venue to have these prints featuring the North Carolina State Capitol. (Signed items are limited to two per person.) In addition, items related to the painting "Winter Riders," books, and other K�nstler memorabilia will be available for purchase. Prints of "Capitol Farewell" are available for purchase in the Museum Shop for $225. Call the shop at 919-807-7835 to reserve your print.

The Beltline Buzz items are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on The Beltline Buzz.. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of The Beltline Buzz. Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way. So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.
That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" e-mails on behalf of sponsors. You'll recognize them from the subject line: "The Beltline Buzz Dedicated E-mail." Yes, these are paid for. And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money. We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz. We look forward to delivering it. |
