Art Around Town is a community art project for the residents of Garner and artists from surrounding areas to participate in a temporary art exhibit that will illustrate community and natural beauty and bring joy, healing, and civic engagement.

Town of Garner Cultural Arts and Events Manager Lorie Clark has received the 2021 Margaret Rigg Social Justice Award, which recognizes an alumna who has demonstrated committed service in the advancement of gender and family justice since graduation from Eckerd College.

A Different Kind of Christmas, which is being produced by Garner’s Show N Tell Ministries, is designed for a socially-distanced holiday. The on-demand Christmas special was created because many church and community holiday events have been cancelled because of the pandemic. The one-hour special is designed to bring the joy and excitement into the home.

COVID-19 can’t keep Truist and The Town of Garner from proudly celebrating our diversity. This year GPAC hosted amazing artists and streamed it to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.

Lorie Clark has been hired as cultural arts and events manager for the Town of Garner’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources (PRCR) Department. 

The concert is a pay-what-you-will event with proceeds going to help fund bringing The Wall That Heals to Garner’s Lake Benson Park on April 16 through 19. The Wall That Heals is a ¾ scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and is accompanied by a mobile education center.

Lady Luck, a trio of Broadway divas and accompanied by remarkable musical director Mark Vogel, sold out the final concert of the ninth season of Broadway Voices in April. But before the last of their gowns were packed, the entertainers were asked to open the 10th season.

Elementary, middle and high school students from Garner area schools will perform at South Garner High School at 6:30 p.m. on November 13 for the annual event known as “Stars on Stage”.
