“A First Look” Exhibit Reception – Thursday, November 20, 2025 (6–8 p.m.)
For the first evening, we will host “A First Look” – an Exhibit Reception for the travel show for the American Watercolor Society’s (AWS) 158th Annual Juried Exhibition on Thursday, November 20. This will be the first chance to see the travel show of this amazing exhibition in Mooresville! Limited tickets are on sale now for $50 per person for this special event (tickets are on sale through Friday, November 14). A fun-filled evening of art, including a live watercolor painting demonstration by local artist Dan McCrary (who has a painting in the watercolor show!) is in store for attendees. Live music will be performed by Lakeside Vibes. Guests will enjoy an elevated menu of chef-inspired signature hors d’oeuvres from Epic Chophouse, complemented by decadent desserts crafted by Queen City Pastry and Cyntucci’s Italian Bakery. Toast the night with craft beer and wine from our neighbors, On Tap, alongside a full selection of beverages for all to enjoy.
Downtown Mooresville Gallery Crawl – Friday, November 21, 2025 (6–8 p.m.)
During the second night of Arts on Main on Friday, November 21, we will host a downtown Mooresville gallery crawl with our fellow neighboring art galleries.
