One of our readers, Dave Delcambre, College of Design graduate and supporter of the Color Wall restoration project, has written an in-depth review of the Joe Cox Exhibition of Paintings and Works on Paper, which is published on his blogsite, ‘nc art blog’. Also, several of Dave’s previously unpublished photos of Joe’s works in the exhibition may be seen on the Color Wall Web site.

If you have not done so already, there is still time to view the collection of 18 Joe Cox paintings and works on paper at the Lee Hansley Gallery Too, 126 Glenwood Ave., Raleigh. The gallery is also open 6-9 pm this Friday night (April 2) for a First Friday showing. The exhibition closes April 17.
