Works in Clay
North Carolina Living Treasures 2009: Cynthia Bringle and Norman Schulman. These living treasure artists explore the transformative nature of clay as it presents itself both conceptually and literally. From Grandfather Mountain to the North Carolina Coast, artists living their legacy have been honored since 1986 with the North Carolina Living Treasures designation by the Museum of World Cultures. The initiative celebrates the value of artists and their talents, art, and their contribution to education and society. Cynthia Bringle has taught many workshops nationwide and at Penland School of Crafts for many years. She is a fellow of the American Craft Council and a recipient of the North Carolina Award for Fine Art. Her work is in the collections of the Mint Museum of Craft and Design, Burlington Art Centre, and the High Museum of Art. Norman Schulman was born in New York City in 1924. He remained in the city and received a diploma from Parsons School of Design before attending New York University, where he earned a bachelor’s (BS) in Art. He received his master in fine arts (MFA) in ceramics from Alfred University, where he held teaching and research fellowships. With that degree in 1958, he changed from design work for an aircraft company to his lifelong career in ceramics, which, in addition to his studio work, included professor and head of ceramics and glass at Rhode Island School of Design and head of Ceramics at Ohio State University. His works are included in many public collections, including the Smithsonian, American Craft Museum, Museum of Art and Design (NY), Mint Museum, Cameron Art Museum and Schein-Joseph International Museum.
Heroes
Our heroes are all who inspire art at any level, those who create art at any level, and those who breathe art at every level.
The Fayetteville Museum of Art was founded in 1971. Originally housed in downtown Fayetteville's historic Market House, the Museum moved in 1978 to its present facility that was the first building in the State of North Carolina designed and built as an Art Museum. In addition to the modern facility that includes two (2) galleries, classrooms, studio space, an Art Reference & Slide Lending Library, and a Museum Store, the Museum's 5.8 acre grounds and pond give the Fayetteville community a place to gather for relaxation. The park-like setting is an oasis in the midst of a heavily trafficked area; it is also utilized for large scale sculpture displays, art festivals and public concerts.
The galleries and Museum Store are open Monday through Friday from 10 am - 5pm; Saturdays and Sundays from 1 - 5pm; closed for the following holidays:
1. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday
2. Good Friday
3. Memorial Day
4. Independence Day
5. Labor Day
6. Thanksgiving Day
7. Day After Thanksgiving
8. December 24 through January 1
Who I'd like to meet: We'd like to meet all those excited about the growing arts community in Fayetteville...

I am truly blessed with the gift of your friendship. I'm very sorry that I haven't been in touch like I should have lately. With all that has been going on with Winston I have not gotten too many chances to be online. The weeks have really gone by fast. I praise God so much that Winston is improving and is almost back to 100%. Now we’re going through an uncertain future with JJ as he remains in ICU at the animal hospital. Hopefully everything will be fine and back to normal soon. Thank you for understanding and continuing to be my friend.
Love and Blessings Always,
Sharon & Family†

This is Stephen Pennink with Fayetteville State University. We are trying to show Fayetteville that students here at the university also support the museum and all its efforts. We are doing a project for SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) to show the economic impact that the art museum will have on Fayetteville. If there is ever any events or information that you can pass along to us via myspace please do so so that we can be involved as much as possible. Thanks so much!!
