and the band played on...

The Fiddle Crawl is a public art initiative presented by Mount Airy Downtown Inc. It is modeled after other successful fundraisers in North Carolina Main Street Communities and features larger-than-life, three dimensional, fiberglass fiddle sculptures painted, decorated, and embellished by local artists.

 

The streets in downtown Mount Airy will have a new addition on May 3, with the premier of the Fiddle Crawl with the colorful fiberglass fiddle sculptures painted by local artists installed along the sidewalks, where they will be in place through October. A free Fiddle Crawl Reveal took place on May 2 at 5 p.m. at the Historic Earle Theatre in downtown Mount Airy — a sneak-peek at the fiddles before they are installed in their locations throughout the downtown area.

 

The Fiddle Crawl Reveal featured the 12 artists who created the unique works of art for the community, and the reveal of their fiddle sculptures. Mountain Park Old-Time Band provided music for the event.
