| Gallery 86 to Host Asheville’s CURVE Studios The Haywood County Arts Council is proud to present, “CURVEilinear, Selected Works from CURVE Studios” beginning January 11, 2010 through Saturday, February 6, 2010. Greg Vineyard, a CURVE Studios artist is serving as curator of the show. Gallery hours are 10am-5pm, Monday – Saturday.

The show title, “CURVEilinear” is all about what people see and feel when they walk through the doors of the three historic brick buildings in Asheville’s River Arts District: the flow of the horizon in an encaustic landscape, the vibrant colors in the fabric blocks of a larger-than-life quilt, the black-eyed pea glaze design on a teapot, patterns carved into the rims of bowls, a sinuous twist in a rebar candle holder. Functional clay and decorative ceramics, textiles and weaving, jewelry, metal works, furniture and paintings will be for sale in Gallery 86 plus a beautifully landscaped garden. Experiencing “CURVEilinear” in Gallery 86 will give you a taste of the CURVE Studios & Garden working studio experience where seven days a week visitors encounter artistic lines, shapes, colors and textures at 6, 9 and 12 Riverside Drive in Asheville. With a synergistic communication amongst the group nurtured by artist-owner Pattiy Torno’s desire to incubate a creative community, along with extensive collaboration by Constance Williams, the energy is palpable, and every day new works with interesting lines and edges and surfaces take shape.
