The Dunn Center for Performing Arts is located on the Wesleyan University campus in Rocky Mount, NC. When you get close, look for signs in the road as to where to turn. There are parking lots on both sides of the building, as well as some spots in front. The Mims Gallery has some great exhibits that I haven't seen anywhere else. This visit, I got to see the Charles Schulz exhibit. Admission was $5, and you got to learn about the artist and the Peanuts characters. A Bob Ross exhibit was also here with his artwork. The lobby has a player piano that is a delight to listen to. Performances are held at the center throughout the year. read more

We went for the Bob ross experience. They had it set up well with clear instructions on where to go to enter the exhibit. They check you in, and you are free to wander the exhibit and can even touch the paintings! They naturally have the Bob Ross channel playing continuously, and there are a few benches so you could sit to watch. There are people walking in front of you the whole time, but it's still always amazing to see him painting. Tickets are completely reasonable, so if you have a chance, check it out! Ross's happy little trees will make you smile read more
