Sanford is home to a very large and active arts community-one of the most surprising, exciting, and fun secrets of little Lee County! It’s amazing that there’s such a huge concentration of talent in so many areas of the arts squeezed into one of North Carolina’s smallest counties. Don’t miss the annual October Sanford Brush and Palette show that runs through Oct 26 . Bob E. Hales Center, 147 McIver Street in Sanford..
