What happened

In Raleigh, Meredith College is hosting the Raleigh Fine Arts Society's 62nd Annual North Carolina Artists Exhibition through Saturday, Oct. 31.

The college said Friday that the work is in Johnson Hall Rotunda. The society's own listing, and the campus exhibitions board, set the run as Oct. 11 through Oct. 31 at 3800 Hillsborough Street.

Posted Rotunda hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The room is closed on college holidays.

Meredith's Friday post, and a separate calendar item, both count 63 artists from across the state, including Assistant Professor of Art Holly Fischer, class of 1999. Those pages, and the society listing, name Allison Perkins of Reynolda House as the juror.

The society calls the project the largest annual all-media juried show in the state. One calendar line used Monday, Oct. 12, as the opening; the society page and that campus listing both print Oct. 11, which is the span used here.

This site is not the college or the society. For hours, use the Meredith Art Gallery current-exhibitions page. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
