Scott Avett Art

What some Avett Brothers fans may not know is that Scott Avett, from Concord, is also an accomplished visual artist. Even a quick look at the gallery of work on his website shows that he explores similar themes in his paintings.

On Monday, November 22nd, at 7pm, Scott Avett will be speaking at the Fall Colloquy,  presented by the Center for Faith and the Arts, with support from Caniche and F&M Bank. The subject of the talk is “The Search for Truth in Art and Faith” and will take place at the Meroney Theater, 213 S. Main St. in Salisbury.  Images of his paintings, some of which have not been shown publicly, will be part of the presentation,  Please understand that this will be a talk on art, not a concert or a signing. Don’t expect to see him break out the banjo! So if you’re a fan of his tunes but not so interested in the influence of Tolstoy,  and of his grandfather (a Methodist minister),  on his artwork, this may not be something you’d enjoy.

A reception, provided by Cheerwine Bottling Company, will follow.

Tickets are just $20 and you can purchase online or by mailing a check to CFA, PO Box 4098, Salisbury, NC 28144. In either case email faithart@bellsouth.net to let them know your name, mailing address, phone number, and how many you ordered.
