Rockingham County: A Guide to the Arts Debuts
Wentworth, NC—The Rockingham County Tourism Development Authority (TDA) is pleased to announce the debut of the new Rockingham County arts guide. Rockingham County: A Guide to the Arts is an 18-page brochure with fold out map that promotes the variety of art forms found throughout Rockingham County.
The guide is divided into art genres and each section features original photography and “hidden gem” spotlights on local artists or art forms. It includes information on visual arts, performing arts and heritage crafts. The guide also includes lists of galleries, working studios, annual arts-focused events, and other resources. The map highlights some of the major area attractions and local accommodations.
“The arts are very important to our tourism sector and are a growing segment of travel and tourism, especially in rural communities,” said Robin Yount, vice president of Tourism. “Rockingham County is fortunate to have the variety of renowned artists and art forms that you will see highlighted in this guide and we are proud and excited to promote that to the world.”
“This guide was created from scratch and we relied on many people to help us,” Yount added. “It was a collaborative effort and we could not have completed this without that help and support.”
The arts guide is designed to complement previous guides that the TDA and Partnership have produced over the last five years to promote the county’s unique attractions to out-of-town visitors. The guide was the biggest project of the TDA in 2008 and it will be distributed around the country and world. King’s English, an advertising and public relations agency in downtown Greensboro, produced the arts guide.
Copies of Rockingham County: A Guide to the Arts will be available in locations throughout the county as well as the Partnership’s office. Contact the Partnership office at 336.342.8138 to receive a guide or to get more information.
