Yesterday we had the pleasure of hosting a group from the Southeastern Museums Conference () at the Turchin Center in Boone.

Attendees drove up from Winston-Salem to tour museums in the region including the Blowing Rock Art and History Museum () and Hickory Museum of Art ().

During their stop at TCVA, our staff guided the group through the galleries, and guests picked out a piece of art to take home from our Art-o-mat ().

It’s always an honor to share our space with fellow museum professionals. Thanks for stopping by!
