Make this year's Summer Break from school an unforgettable experience for your little ones by enrolling them in our exciting Art Camp! We have ten individual weeks of art camp to encourage all campers, ages 3 and up! Lasting memories and creative adventures await them as they unleash their imagination and make art at Emerge! They'll have the opportunity to explore different art forms, from painting to pottery, and take home their masterpieces to cherish forever. Not only will they develop their artistic skills, but they'll also make new friends and have tons of fun in a safe and nurturing environment.
So why not give them the gift of creativity and self-expression this Summer? Sign them up for Art Camp today and get ready to see their faces light up with excitement!

Tryon Palace is excited to once again host the artwork of popular photographer and beekeeper Deana B Marion to the North Carolina History Center.  We will be showcasing a new exhibit of her photography of pollinators – bees, butterflies, and insects on a variety of flowering blooms.  Her photography technique is macro photography with amazing detail!

The exhibit will also include video clips of activity at her beehives.

This exhibit is FREE and available to the public during our posted business hours at the North Carolina History Center.

Artist's Exhibit Description
The collection of macro images of bees and blooms in their native environment celebrates the art of nature, the beauty and wonder God created in the bees and blooms. The colorful images showcase the features of the small natural world as photographed in blooming trees and flower gardens. 

The plight of pollinators, their value to our food supply, and the causes for their declining population are receiving national attention, with pollination by honeybees responsible for one-third of our food and nearly $20 billion in value to agricultural crops each year in the United States. Deana B understands the issues are extremely important and has witnessed the alarming population decline firsthand. 

Deana B’s macro photography commenced in the 2002 with weekend classes taught by Barbara Brundege through the University of California Extension, Santa Cruz, along with numerous workshops where she was encouraged to “get closer, get closer.” She gained tremendous insight from a mentorship with Barbara focusing on enhancing the images to capture the intricate features of flowers with bees. Since 2010, she has specialized in photographing bees on blooms in exquisite detail at a distance of several inches. 

This unique body of images focus upon the beauty of bees in nature, all different but sharing a
common theme, with attention to microscopic level features, use of color, and position of  blooms.
