Although Scott Avett is best known for his music with the Avett Brothers, he's also an accomplished visual artist. Fans are familiar with his artwork from the album covers, backdrops, and collectible concert posters that he's designed. Avett (pictured above, credit Crackerfarm), who studied painting and printmaking at East Carolina University. will appear at a fundraiser for The Educational Center Friday, February 24, in South Park to discuss his visual art and spiritual journey from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $100. The event is nearly sold out, but his figurative paintings will be on display to the public Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 523 Governor Morrison St. in the Morrison Condominiums building at South Park (the same location as Friday's event). Admission is free and original paintings and commemorative limited edition posters will be for sale.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from Friday's event benefit The Educational Center, a Charlotte-based non-profit that creates resources and opportunities for people of all ages and faith backgrounds seeking spiritual growth and enrichment. For more on Avett's visual art go to
