Participants should wear comfortable clothing & shoes they don’t mind getting a little paint on. \nPlease Note\, Canvases require a level 24-hour dry time; They will have to be left\, to stay level while drying.

SUMMARY:Piedmont Choral Society Presents: Celebrate America
DESCRIPTION:“Celebrate America” Concert to Honor the Legacy of World War II Veterans and America’s Heroes \nCONCORD\, NC — In a moving tribute to the men and women who served our nation\, the community is invited to join the powerful voices of The Piedmont Choral Society for its 20th annual patriotic concert\, Celebrate America\, a musical event dedicated to honoring America’s veterans — especially the treasured generation of World War II heroes whose numbers grow fewer with each passing year. \nThis year’s concert carries special meaning as the community pauses to recognize the courage\, sacrifice\, and enduring legacy of the World War II generation. Organizers hope to fill the sanctuary with veterans dressed proudly in uniform\, seated among family\, friends\, neighbors\, and over 100 choir members lifting their voices in gratitude and remembrance. \n“There is something profoundly emotional about seeing our veterans in uniform while patriotic music surrounds them\,” organizers shared. “To witness these heroes sitting in a room filled with more than 100 singers honoring them through song is something unforgettable. It is not simply a concert — it is a living tribute to those who defended freedom for generations to come.” \nAs America approaches a time when many World War II veterans may no longer be with us\, the concert seeks to preserve their stories\, recognize their sacrifices\, and give the community an opportunity to thank them while they can still hear the applause and feel the love of a grateful nation. \nThe event will feature stirring patriotic selections performed by community singers from across the region. Audience members can expect an evening filled with pride\, reflection\, and heartfelt appreciation for veterans of all branches of service\, including a special tribute recognizing POWs and MIAs. \nThe Piedmont Choral Society has invited veterans\, active-duty military\, families\, churches\, civic organizations\, and community members to attend and participate in this extraordinary celebration of patriotism and remembrance. \nCommunity singers were also invited to join the chorus for this special event. No audition or membership fees were required\, making the concert accessible to anyone who wishes to honor veterans through music and fellowship. \nPERFORMANCE DATES \n\nJune 18th — 7:00 PM\nJune 19th — 7:00 PM\nJune 21st — 3:00 PM\n\nPERFORMANCE LOCATION \nFirst Baptist Church \n200 Branchview Drive \nConcord\,  \nOrganizers are encouraging the public to help spread the word\, especially to veterans and their families throughout Cabarrus County and surrounding communities. Local businesses\, churches\, veteran organizations\, and civic groups are also invited to share the event on social media and community calendars. \n“This concert is about more than music\,” organizers said. “It is about ensuring our veterans know their sacrifices are remembered. It is about seeing them honored not quietly\, but publicly\, passionately\, and with great love. For many in attendance\, it may become one of the most meaningful patriotic moments they ever experience.” \nThe Celebrate America concert stands as a reminder that freedom has a cost — and that the men and women who paid that price should never be forgotten.

SUMMARY:Landscape Workshop with Jeremy Sams
DESCRIPTION:We have invited Jeremy Sams to conduct this workshop as part of our 2026 grant program. \nCAG is able to offer this opportunity at subsidized pricing due to a grant from the Grassroots \nArts Program of the North Carolina Arts Council\, a state agency\, and the Cabarrus Arts Council. \nIn this one day landscape painting workshop\, we will paint along with award winning plein air \npainter\, Jeremy Sams. Jeremy will give step by step instruction on the basics of landscape \ncomposition\, achieving natural color and correct values\, and how to fine tune your painting with \nvarieties of edges and brush work. \nThis class is available for all levels from beginner to advanced and you will paint along with \nJeremy from a shared reference photo. During the process\, he will give personal one on one \ninstruction. All 2D mediums are welcome to attend but be advised that he will be painting with \nacrylics. \nJeremy Sams is an award winning representational artist residing in Archdale\, NC. He became \ninterested in art at a very early age\, winning his first art competition at the age of 6. At age 15\, \nhe took his first art class where he was introduced to painting. His love for painting sparked a \nnew change in his life and the beginning of a career was birthed by commissioned portraits and \nmurals from the local community. Through these small art endeavors and apart from formal \ntraining\, Jeremy was able to begin a professional art career at the age of 19. \nJeremy’s primary subject matter is landscapes while working in acrylics. He also loves the \nchallenge of portraits and his work varies in size from just a few sq. inches to murals measuring \nupward of 40’x60′. \nHis artistic growth took on a new form in 2011 when he was introduced to painting en plein air. \nThis same year\, he and his wife mourned the death of two children. Through this trying time\, \nJeremy found new inspiration and healing through painting outdoors en plein air. “Painting en \nplein air has become a means of therapy and release of emotion for me…Here\, I can enjoy God’s \ncreation and relish in the beauty He has given us to enjoy in this short life.” \n  \nMaterials you’ll need to bring with you: \nPortable easel\, brush cleaning container (solvents if necessary)\, rag or paper towels\, \nsketchbook and pencils\, canvas or panel (recommended 11×14 or smaller) \nBrushes: Jeremy uses a variety of synthetic bristle flat brushes from Silver Brush Ltd (sizes 12\, \n8 and 4) along with a small round and a small script liner. Feel free to bring your brushes of \nchoice. \nPaint: Jeremy typically uses Golden Open acrylics (feel free to use your favorite brand) and \nrecommends the following colors: Titanium white\, Ultramarine blue\, Cadmium red light\, \nCadmium yellow medium and Cadmium orange. Some convenience colors that are not required \nbut might be handy are: Teal\, Quinacridone magenta\, Viridian green\, Carbon black and Naples \nyellow.
