Take an in-depth look at North Carolina’s centers of creativity with Wellesley alumnae and friends. Our journey begins in Raleigh-Durham, as we visit the region’s historic and artistic jewels, including the recently opened Nasher Museum of Art. The historic tobacco and textile town of Winston-Salem is a small southern city that is seeing an arts renaissance. There, we are guests at Reynolda House, with its fine collection of American art and furnishings reflecting the time the R.J. Reynolds family lived here. Our program ends in Asheville and features a private after-hour’s visit of the legendary Biltmore Estate. Throughout our tour, we will visit with noted ceramic, glass, and folk artists in their studios. Comfortable accommodations, insights of expert local guides, and superb Southern cuisine enhance this special program.
