September 4 – October 27: Kaleidoscope: An Exploration of Color & Shapes

Exhibit Dates: September 4 – October 27

Exhibit Description:  The kaleidoscope offers an endless array of colors, shapes, and amusement for all ages. This exhibit provides visual stimulation through pattern recognition and color, inspiring artists to explore the world of shapes and colors.

Fashion for the Arts has been rescheduled due to the ongoing state of emergency caused by Tropical Storm Helene. The storm has severely impacted our area, and with the current lack of interstate connections between North Carolina and Tennessee, recovery efforts will take considerable time. We are still in the midst of rescue operations, and the full extent of the damage is not yet known.

Ticket holders have been emailed. Phone and Internet connection is limited. Please be patient during this time!

Art After Dark, Friday, October 4: The gallery will be CLOSED

Class Title: Hand-Stitched Meditation Scrolls

Class Objectives:  Participants will learn some basic applique and embroidery techniques, to begin embellishing two meditation scrolls.

Class Description: In this special class, we will begin work on 2 “meditation scrolls”: strips of fabric wrapped around vintage wooden thread spools. We will begin by learning/reviewing a few basic techniques, and then we will spend the remainder of our time together mindfully and slowly stitching. The goal is not a finished product but rather a beginning to a project which will be slowly added to over time.

Duration: 2.5 hours

Time & Date: Saturday, October 26 from 10 am – 12:30 pm
