DEBARY HALL TO HOST RECEPTION FOR ART EXHIBIT OPENING

DeBary Hall Historic Site will host a wine and cheese reception from 5 - 7 p.m. Friday, March 7, to celebrate the artist of the month exhibit. The public is invited to this free event sponsored by Volusia County’s Leisure Services Division.

Ormond Beach artist Don Kennedy will exhibit works in acrylic and watercolor throughout March. According to Kennedy, his goal is to produce images that have varying degrees of movement and power while retaining the delicacy that makes the medium unique. All his work is done on location or from sketches. He has a studio in Ormond Beach and paints on the New England coast during the summer.

Those who miss the opening reception may view the artwork while touring DeBary Hall at regular admission prices. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, $2 for children ages
3 - 12, and free for children under 3. The site is open from
10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and noon - 4 p.m. Sunday.

DeBary Hall, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is owned by the state and managed by the County’s Leisure Services Division. For more information, please call site manager Amber Patterson at (386) 668-3840.
