Your First Look at the Fall Edition of Tar River Art + Culture!

We’ve been working behind the scenes on something special, and it’s finally time to give you a sneak peek at the cover of our Fall 2026 Tar River Art + Culture Magazine!
This edition takes you deeper into the people, places, food, history and culture that make the Twin Counties unique. Our cover gives you just a glimpse, including an exclusive feature with local photographer Tim Sia — but there’s so much more waiting inside.
Bringing these stories to life is writer Justin Sykes, who wrote the features throughout this edition. From sitting down with the people behind the stories to exploring the history and character of our communities, Justin helps tell the stories that make this magazine truly local.
We’re also incredibly thankful for the businesses and organizations that helped make this edition possible. A huge thank you to our Fall advertisers: Nash Community College, CycleMax, Jon Chelles, Rocky Mount Chamber Choir, Rose Hill Sporting Clays, Hardee’s Furniture, Oak Grove, UNC Health, Taft Aesthetics, American Legion, Flying Iron Harley-Davidson, Town of Nashville, Braswell Family Farms, Foote Real Estate Group, Daughtridge Energy and Ribeyes.
Their support helps us continue celebrating and sharing the stories of Nash and Edgecombe counties.
And this is only the cover. 👀
The Fall 2026 edition of Tar River Art + Culture Magazine is coming soon. Be on the lookout for the official release — we can’t wait for you to see what’s inside!
