May 17. Art Works, a fundraiser for the Lake Norman Kiwanis Splashville Park, is looking for local business sponsors. Presented by the Cornelius Cultural Arts Group, Art Works is a contest featuring local artists using repurposed materials to create a sculpture depicting the history of the Cornelius/Lake Norman area. All proceeds will go to the new splash park, scheduled for completion in June.

The public is invited to meet the artists and vote for their favorite work of art 11 a.m.-4 p.m. May 21 and noon-5 p.m. May 22 at Barnes & Noble in Birkdale Village. Mention the Cornelius Cultural Arts Group at the register and a portion of your purchase will go to the fundraiser.
