Gregg Museum, First Friday Opening: Featuring Marie Cordella Dresses

Friday May 6, 2011 was the Gregg Museum's first Firth Friday. In celebration of the event, I had several models (provided by Models for Charity) wearing my dresses stand and sit around the Museum. Be sure to check out the Gregg for future First Fridays. With its soon-to-be new location in the Chancelor's House (eta 2014) there is a lot of excitement in the air. 

"The Gregg Museum of Art & Design is a collecting museum at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. The Gregg Museum operates under the Division of Student Affairs and is located in the Talley Student Center in the middle of the NCSU campus. The Gregg’s collecting focus reflects the mission of North Carolina State University and supports its academic programs by providing research opportunities for NCSU students and the citizens of North Carolina and beyond. The collection includes, but is not limited to, textiles, ceramics, outsider/folk art, photography, architectural drawings & modern furniture. The Gregg Museum of Art & Design also puts on 6-8 exhibitions per year in its two galleries, in addition to exhibiting work at various places in the Talley Student Center and around campus."
