JL oco: 



ocosin Arts spreads out in 

 a hushed riot ofcobr and texture on 

 the second floor of an old brick 

 building on Main Street in Columbia. 



On the first floor below, washers 

 whir and dryers hum in the local 

 Laundromat. 



The proximity to practicality is 

 coincidental for the arts organization, 

 but it nevertheless reinforces a mes- 

 sage: Creativity is integral, and 

 essential, to daily life. PocosinArts 

 celebrates the particular creativity that 

 arises from everyday existence in the 

 surrounding woods and wetlands. 



Feather Phillips founded Pocosin Arts four years ago.
