The Cabarrus Arts Council thrives in one of Cabarrus County’s most recognized buildings – the old historic courthouse. Built in 1876 favoring a combination of Greek Revival, Italianate and Second Empire styles, the structure is a work of art in and of itself, so it’s no wonder it’s become a favorite among creatives of all mediums. From plein air artists on the front lawn to culinary ones capturing its likeness in cheese, we’ve admired them all. But we would love to see more.
“The Old Courthouse” was painted by 16-year-old G. Houston Smith Jr. and judged to be the Best Oil Painting in the Nation during the 1978 Boys’ Clubs of America-Epstein Memorial Foundation Fine Arts Exhibition. The painting is displayed in the atrium outside the Davis Theatre entrance.
Have you captured the building in acrylics, metal, fiber or other medium? Show us by sending them to [email protected]. Include the artist’s name, if you know them, and any other details you might have about the work. We’ll post them on social media.
Have you painted, sculpted or even crocheted the old historic courthouse? We’d love to see it. Show us by sending it to [email protected]. Include the artist, if you know them, and any other details you might have about the work. We’ll post them on social media.
