FORMULA FOR OUR FUTURESHAC + Marquee + RAD = Community
Sand Hill Artists Collective’s vision has always been to help emerging artists build careers encouraging creativity and visibility. We knew the need was there but our path has led us to opportunities beyond our humble beginnings, isolated in COVID and located in Candler, NC. The effect is one of pebbles in a pond for people like Daryl and me who are visual learners. Biltmore Lake Artists begat Sand Hill Artists which has grown exponentially beyond its Western Buncombe boundaries to encompass all of Asheville and beyond. I’m not very savvy with social media but supported by the “techiness” of Daryl and others, SHAC in partnership with Scott Power and Crewest Studio/LA, has expanded once more, now to our new ARTSVILLE Collective gallery in Marquee in the River Arts District.
While this would seem like a wild ride, it has been mostly smooth or we wouldn’t have been able to arrive where we are today. At every turn, creative energy from supportive artists, mentors and volunteers have been the engine to propel us. At its most basic level, SHAC and ARTSVILLE feel welcomed into our new community in the RAD and have planned ARTSVILLE Collective to be more than a gallery. At its core, this will be a home, a community gathering place for anyone who likes art, and a happy spot to show, tell and talk about creativity. Circle your calendars and join us:
art and community.
