The Spring has Sprung
Written By: Donna Rhodes | Issue: May 2023
A slew of new exhibits and events mark the Busy Season for Ann Lea Fine Art, 976 Highway 64 East in Cashiers, (just past Ingles Shopping Center on the right).
Ann Lea Fine Art Gallery in Cashiers reopened this Spring with exceptional new works. Fresh faces joined the familiar, talented stable of artists, recognized as some of the nation’s finest.
Over the winter, the Gallery team went on a talent search and struck gold. May 18th, join artists and guests at “A Spring Celebration” reception from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M. at the Gallery and meet new Gallery members.
Get ready for a summer filled with exceptional exhibitions and events. In June, the Highlands-Cashiers Music Festival will have their “ Kick-Off Performance, Painting with Music, coordinated with the Gallery’s showing, The Art of Music. Enjoy the impressionistic musical beauty of Debussy and Ravel played by the delightful Rasa String Quartet while surrounded by the gallery’s beautiful artwork. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served. Cost is $80/person – call (828) 526-9060 for required reservations.
This event will be the first of many, and the next gallery happening could feature your own personal get-together: a wedding reception, a reunion, or a private party. With expansive gallery space (5,000 sq. ft.) and parking abundant, it’s the perfect setting for any size gathering of families, entertainment, auctions, fund-raisers and much more.
Renowned North Carolina landscape artist Bill Jameson is July’s featured artist. A house is not a home until a Jameson landscape adorns its wall. Bill’s reception is July 21, from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M. Bill will also give a three-day workshop, August 10-12. Call the Gallery at (828) 743-8625 to reserve your space.
