Flying Brushes is just one example of the creative methods used to assist Open Arms Care clients in reaching their full potential. The program uses an A.R.T. method designed to give the artist the ability to express their creativity on canvas. They channel this creativity on to canvas by making their own choices; from canvas size, color and technique used(laser, spoons, sponge, golf ball), the artist turns their emotions and feelings into beautiful masterpieces.

On Stage at 1pm: The Barefoot Movement

The Barefoot Movement is a trio of immensely talented musicians from North Carolina and Tennessee whose music successfully melds Americana influences with the invigoration of acoustic modern rock and jazz. Their sound simultaneously captures the rustic beauty of old Southern front porch Bluegrass improvisation while being immediately accessible to the modern era.

The group was initially formed when Noah Wall, singer and fiddler, and Tommy Norris, mandolin player, attended high school together in their home county of Granville, NC and began setting Noah’s lyrics to Tommy’s chords. Though the band was threatened when the two members left to attend colleges in different states, it was while Noah was a student of the Bluegrass, Old-Time, and Country Music Program at Eastern Tennessee State University that she met Quentin Acres, when both were chosen to perform for the Old-Time Pride Band. The three soon united to form The Barefoot Movement. The name evolved from Noah’s tendency to remove her shoes during shows, a testament to the relaxed atmosphere and down-home stylings of the group.

On Stage at 11:30am: Mawre & Company

Established in 2000 by Kofi and Rebekah Mawuko, Mawre & Co. is dedicated to raising awareness of the world’s cultures in a desire to bring about a peaceful society through the arts. Their exposure in the Southeast USA continues to grow as performing and teaching artists “keeping the heritage alive”.

Their cultural enrichment programs are a tremendous success because they are designed to develop fundamental knowledge of the arts that will enable appreciation of varied artistic expression, creative participation in the arts, and identification of relationships between the arts and other aspects of life. In addition to being strongly grounded in the development of analytical, communicative, literary physical skills, the programs serve to stimulate a sense of comprehension, articulation, balance and movement, resulting in emotional, intellectual, physical and social growth.

On Stage at 2:30pm: Julie Gribble

A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Gribble was born with an infectious personality. Her younger years were spent on the stage as an actress which lead to her current film and tv career. She grew up writing poetry, which eventually led to song writing. She had always wanted to find a way to share her stories, and through hours of watching artists play guitar, drawing the chords on bar napkins and practice, her dreams became a reality.
