March 5: “Work of Heart” Art Opening at Asheville Area Arts Council

I have four art pieces in my home from the amazing artists from Open Hearts Art Center.  Stop by.  I think you’ll find the mission, artists and work a real treat, and affordable.

You are invited to attend the 4th annual “A work of heART” opening reception celebrating art by differently-abled adults. Outsider, visionary, and folk art created by the students of Open Hearts Art Center will be on display throughout the month of March.

Due to inclement weather the Arts Council has graciously offered to hold another opening reception for those who could not make the last event.
Join Open Hearts staff and students for another Opening reception on Friday March 5th from 5:00pm-8:00pm at the Asheville Area Arts Council Front Gallery, 11 Biltmore Avenue, Asheville, NC.

The exhibition will run from February 12th -March 31st and will feature art from students of Open Hearts Art Center, as well as an individual show by Merlin Strivelli in the back gallery.  11 Biltmore Ave., Asheville, NC.
