Transylvania Community Arts Council (TC Arts) is proud to announce that for the seventh year, the organization has partnered with community engagement entrepreneur Nicola Karesh to present Faces of Freedom. This invitational show features minority and other underrepresented artists in Transylvania County. In January 2020, the show opened to a standing-room-only crowd at the TC Arts gallery at 349 S.
