A WALK IN THE WOODS Features the Works of Guest Artists
Along with Changed Exhibitions from Daryl Slaton and Louise Glickman.
Five guest artists plus founding artists Daryl Slaton and Louise Glickman approach the glory of our Carolina woodlands with fresh takes on nature through their personal perspectives. Not at all what you would expect, their viewpoints reveal Appalachia through a fresh lens, inspired by fall and full of surprises for all locals and leaf-peepers. Within each piece, there is a story to encourage a visit to Artsville’s gallery at Marquee, podcast and blogs. For more, go to subscribe at https://sandhillartists.com
NEW PODCAST at Artsvilleusa.com and sandhillartists.com
KENN KOTARA: An Asheville Artist That Looks at the World Differently
Kenn Kotara, a contemporary mixed-media abstract artist based in Asheville, North Carolina has been propelled to national fame by his lifelong fascination with architecture, philosophy, literature and communication. Kenn masterfully expresses himself on canvas, paper, and Mylar using a vast variety of mediums and photography. His site-specific installations evoke a powerful emotional response from those who view them. Of great interest is his work based on braille and teaching art to visually impaired children.
UP NEXT: Podcast Interview with Jim McDowell: The Black Potter
Jim tells stories through the voices of his slave ancestors and his ancestral history with his nationally-known face jugs. He has made a special collection at affordable prices for our ARTSVILLE Collective audience. Jim’s work is featured in our WALK IN THE WOODS exhibit, opening Saturday, Aug, 6- Oct. 30 at Marquee.
