Showcasing Regional Artists at Carolina Gallery
Written By: Donna Rhodes | Issue: 2018/05 - May
Carolina Gallery supports the exceptional artists of the region who are members of the Art League of Highlands-Cashiers.
On April 12, the gallery hosted an open house for those who have been juried into the Art League exhibition. Norma Hendrix, founder and executive director of Cullowhee Arts, graciously served as the entrants’ juror.
Carolina Gallery’s co-owner Mary Lou Bilbro says, “Our goal from the inception of the gallery has been to recognize and promote Regional and Local Artists. We want to provide not only a place to show their works, but to create a stimulating environment for them to grow and thrive in.”
Bilbro believes artists will welcome the competition that a juried and theme show encourages.
“An atmosphere of camaraderie and conversation gets the creative juices flowing,” she says.
A bonus while visiting the League show… those who know Vivian Jendzio’s expressive large mixed media works from Summit One and John Collette Fine Art will be thrilled to see that some of her pieces have a home in Carolina Gallery. Another local favorite, nationally-recognized artist and teacher Marc Chatov, will be a featured artist during this time. He’ll offer a workshop the first week of August at Carolina Gallery.
It’s a lovely time of year to visit or re-visit the Carolina Gallery. The doors are open noon to 6:00 P.M. every day but Wednesday and Sunday during the month of May. The Gallery is located at North Fourth Street and Carolina Way in Highlands. The gallery is delightful and the light will wrap you in a cloak of luscious.
Among the things to see and do at Carolina Gallery are a host of event opportunities. Small weddings, dinners, reunions, and just about anything, from a private gathering to an organization conference, are welcome.
