RALEIGH, NC -- Poyner & Spruill LLP, one of North Carolina’s oldest and largest law firms, is a proud co-sponsor of the North Carolina Museum of Art’s 2008 Arts in the Museum Park series.

The series will be held in the Joseph M. Bryan, Jr., Theater in the Museum Park, which has been a summer host to a wide variety of both performing arts and movies for a dozen years, welcoming nearly 25,000 visitors each season. The 2008 season will feature four months of exciting live concerts and movies, from June through the end of September.

“The North Carolina Museum of Art is a tremendous cultural resource for our state, and the summer music and movies series always brings some of the best warm-weather entertainment to be had in the Triangle,” said Bo Dempster, Poyner & Spruill’s managing partner. “Poyner & Spruill continues to be a proud supporter of the Museum, and we are sure that our community will enjoy the excellent variety of musical performances and movies scheduled for the upcoming summer months.”

Throughout the season, attendees will be treated to a host of musical acts, including performances by roots music champion Emmylou Harris and master American songwriter-performer John Hiatt. Movies will include current hits such as Juno and Horton Hears a Who, as well as classic favorites such as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

“It’s with generous contributions from corporate sponsors like Poyner & Spruill that the Museum is able to host a high-caliber summer concert and film series, featuring popular movies and a wide variety of world-class musicians and performers,” said Larry Wheeler, Director of the North Carolina Museum of Art. “Strong corporate partnerships provide necessary support for our arts and film programming, which engages a wide range of audiences at the Museum.”
