First Abstraction
October 22-November 10
Reception Friday, October 26, from 6-9 p.m.
Art After Dark Reception, November 2, from 6-9 p.m.
& Last Abstraction
November 12-December 1
Reception Friday, November 16, from 6-9 p.m.
Description: This upcoming show at Gallery 86 is a six week series of Abstract work in two segments. The first
segment will include only women artists, and the second segment only men artists, all of which are living and
working in Western North Carolina. First Abstraction will run from October 22 to November 10, with an opening
reception on October 26, from 6-9 p.m. and an Art After Dark reception Friday, November 2, from 6-9 p.m. The
dates of Second Abstraction are November 12 to December 1, and the opening reception will be held on Friday,
November 16, from 6-9 p.m. Western North Carolina encompasses an incredibly vast range of abstract artists,
which make up a large component of the local art scene. Displaying and exhibit of all abstract work, in a number
of different mediums, exposes people to a facet of visual art that may not be familiar, and in turn, is culturally
enhancing the community in more ways than one. Some of the artists included in the show will be holding
workshops regarding their work, which will all be open to any interested members of the community.
WORKSHOPS include sculpting from the figure, and printmaking. Workshop dates TBA.
The artists in the first part of the series, First Abstraction, includes Cindy Flowers, Gabrielle Crowther, Genie
Maples, Robin Sierra, Karen Ives, and Lillian Byers.
The second part of the series, Last Abstraction, includes Bill Clements, Greg McPherson, Mike Campbell, and
Stephen Lange.
