“Truth and courage are not always comfortable, but never a weakness. Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, and authenticity"

The 2024 Alpha Romeo Tango will feature a People’s Choice Award for first, second, and third places. The winner will be announced on social media at the close of the exhibit.

Cape Fear Studios hours are Tuesday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Military service teaches and cultivates leadership skills, access to education, training, and personal growth. Personal growth is enhanced maturity, self-improvement, self-awareness, and resiliency.
“The arts force you to reflect with your life, how you feel about it, and what it means to you,” according to Art Engine, University of Michigan.
The art pieces in this exhibit capture a moment in time for the artist. It is the visual expression of the nuances of the artist’s soul. The public and the artist experience a meaningful moment of connection.
“The ART exhibit, Alpha Romeo Tango, is an annual exhibition for Cape Fear Studios, presenting the artwork of our military community. The military community is such an integral part of Fayetteville and the Cumberland County area. We like to offer an exhibit where military artists and their families can display their artwork. This year’s entries include works in clay, acrylic, oil, watercolor, and collage. This yearly exhibit is free to enter and visitors are encouraged to vote for their favorite art/artist for the People’s Choice Award. The voting will end on Saturday, September 21,” shares Pandora Autry, Board President, Cape Fear Studios.
