Thanks to some top-notch initiative at Riverlink and among the contributing artists, we’re doing it again; this year the show will be at the same location overlooking the French Broad River in Asheville.  Dates are Thursday, Oct. 22 through Sunday, Oct. 25. The opening will be a ticketed affair, with catering, music and a showing of river artefacts.

The show’s website features bios on contributing artists and a blog with news of their exploits.  The French Broad has many moods and promises another year of beauty. It’s cold in the mountains of North Carolina and lazy in the foothills of Tennessee.  It has witnessed boom and bust flows past real estate booms and ghost towns.  It has been victim to ecological defilement and nursery for rebirth. Check the show’s blog for scenery and story, and see the show in October.  And if you buy a painting of the French Broad featured on this site, I’ll give a third of the price to Riverlink, the non-profit that has done so much to nurture the river that makes the region.  Just use the Contact link for a quote; price includes framing and shipping.
