Build Community Build

Build Community Build was a series of hands-on arts workshops held monthly in 2019 at the Walnut Cove Public Library to help inspire ideas for the final public art installation and other developments that we hoped to see in Walnut Cove and greater Stokes County. It was a time of creativity, fellowship and fun.
