About Janice Gravely
Navy veterans of World War II, Janice and her husband, Edmund, married in 1944, settled in Rocky Mount, and raised four children. Janice made international news in 1982 landing an airplane after her pilot husband died in flight. The New York Times and the FAA attribute that feat to a miracle of God.
A native of California, Janice graduated from UCLA with a degree in history and later attended UNC-Chapel Hill earning her teaching credentials. A prolific painter, she has painted almost all over the world, has had five solo art shows, and has been featured in the NC Museum of Art.

Event Details
Experience the down-home wit and inspirational wisdom of John Floyd, a comedian, author, and proud native of Rocky Mount. Launching his stand-up career at just eight years old during a school talent show, John has since taken the stage over 5,000 times, performing for more than two million people. His career has taken him to all 50 states, over two dozen countries, and given him the chance to work with Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Award winners. John says the men in his family have always been funny and great story tellers. He’s just the first one to do it on a stage instead of a front porch.

Event Details
For Nirvani – A Nirvana Tribute Experience, it’s much more than simply being a tribute band. It’s about paying homage to a golden era in music and the unique atmosphere Nirvana contributed to that era. Nirvani embodies Cobain, Novoselic, and Grohl in their talent and authenticity. Each band member is dedicated to portraying both the appearance and playing styles of their Nirvana counterparts. This combined with their use of authentic vintage instruments makes Nirvani a live tribute concert experience that leaves audiences simultaneously satisfied and longing for more.

Event Details
Larry & Joe were destined to make music together. Currently based in the Triangle of North Carolina, both men are versatile multi-instrumentalists and singer-songwriters on a mission to show that music has no borders. As a duo they perform a fusion of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music on harp, banjo, cuatro, fiddle, maracas, guitar, upright bass, and whatever else they decide to throw in the van. The program they offer features a distinct blend of their musical inheritances and traditions as well as storytelling about the ways that music and social movements coalesce.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
I live in a world of controlled chaos, creativity, and endless hope for the future. By day, I am a high school English teacher. I spend hours teaching, planning, grading, thinking about field trips and projects and extracurriculars. I am often in the whirlwind of ensuring students are ready for whatever step they choose to take once they graduate and move forward in life.
Finding myself caught in the busyness that is the lives of other people’s children and our education system, I realized I needed something grounding. In that moment, I began my painting journey, and it is truly a journey.
I began learning the Bob Ross wet-on-wet techniques through classes and painting along with his Joy of Painting. I learned to push trees out of my brushes, give little rocks a friend or two, and shape some happy clouds floating in a phthalo blue sky. Like anyone who watched Bob, I couldn’t help but to be struck by some of the simple and profound nuggets of wisdom he dropped along the way. During his show, Bob would say in his low, steady voice that “It’s hard to see things when you are too close. Take a step back and look,” or, “If you have light on light, you have nothing. If you have dark on dark, you basically have nothing. Just like in life. You gotta have a little sadness once in a while so you know when the good times come.”
Those small pieces remind me that there is often simple truth to be found in the most unlikely places. In addition to these little truths, the process of painting has helped me steady the busyness around me. I find that I am more mindful of a moment: the way colors blend in an early sunrise over the school building before I walk in, the fall leaves popping bright against grey autumn skies, and reflections pulled long across a lake’s edge. Those moments center me, and I find that same quiet, stillness when I break out my brushes and put paint to canvas.
It is my hope that others can find the simple truths and simple quiet joys in their own lives. For some, it won’t be at the end of a fan brush, but for some it might. I hope that I can help a few others find that joy as they move along their own painting journeys.

Event Details
While their instrumentation is that of bluegrass, Damn Tall Buildings is not bound to it. This roots/americana band from Brooklyn, NY pulls inspiration from a wide range of influences including swing, ragtime, jazz, and even a hint of contemporary. With lyrical storytelling and foot-stomping grooves, their songs about love and ramblin’ help to forget the everyday troubles. With members from all around the United States, Damn Tall Buildings is a truthful combination of people branding their influences into a single sound.

Event Details
The Dunn Center is thrilled to announce the upcoming presentation of “The Joy of Painting: The Musical” on Saturday, January 11, 2025, in the Powers Recital Hall, with showings at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
This delightful and touching musical tells the story of Ellie, a 12-year-old girl brimming with artistic talent but feeling overshadowed by her parents’ STEM-centric expectations. She finds solace and inspiration in Bob Ross’ iconic show, “The Joy of Painting,” discovering the value of friendship and creativity. Bob Ross’ timeless wisdom, delivered through song, reminds us all that friendships bring color to our lives.
Written and directed by North Carolina native and Wake Forest University alumnus Caleb Cabiness, the musical captures the essence of Bob Ross’ gentle guidance and optimism. Producer Natalie Cordone, also a Wake Forest alumna, highlights, “Caleb’s admiration for Bob Ross truly shines through in this musical. It even includes original quotes from Mr. Ross! We are proud to present such a heartfelt and humorous work at this wonderful festival.”
The musical has a runtime of just 30 minutes, with performances at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Each show will be followed by a 15-minute talk by Mr. Cabiness about the creation of his work, along with a 15-minute audience Q&A with him and the actors. Tickets are priced at $10 and are available at The Dunn Center Box Office or online at www.dunncenter.com.
Join us for a day of artistic inspiration and joy as we celebrate the legacy of Bob Ross through this special musical and art exhibit.
