The main gallery of Hickory Museum of Art, located at 243 3rd Ave NE, Hickory, is hosting our exhibit displaying over 20 ‘bags’ made into works of art using all kinds of materials! The bags were all beautifully designed and crafted by community members. Come visit the gallery September 3-5 to vote for your favorite bag.
