CommUNITY:
The People and Places of Transylvania County and Western North Carolina
February 27 - March 28
The Arts Council is pleased to announce the opening of CommUnity: The People and Places of Transylvania County and Western North Carolina, an open exhibition of fine art and craft celebrating the distinctive identity of WNC, and particularly Transylvania County.
Western North Carolina and our Transylvania community, specifically, are made up of many distinct places, diverse individuals, interactions, connections and other elements, all sharing a common space. For this exhibit, the Arts Council asks artists to explore the deep connections between geographical places, landscapes (from rugged mountains, to forests and incomparable waterfalls), community heritage, and regional identity.
The exhibit opens in the Arts Council Gallery on Friday, February 27, and runs through Saturday, March 28th.
On Friday, March 16, 5-7pm, the Arts Council will host a “Meet the Artists” reception. The public is invited to attend.
Enjoy the music of the Kevin Sanders Trio (Kevin Sanders, Jason DeCristofaro, and Bob
