Gallery Nomads Asheville is the newest of GreenHill’s exhibitions highlighting NC’s regional art centers. Five Asheville art spaces will set-up camp all summer in The Gallery at GreenHill and present an exhibition of their choosing in 500 square feet of space. Five of Asheville’s most innovation art spaces are participating: Blue Spiral 1, Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, Asheville BookWorks, Pink Dog Creative, and REVOLVE. Cited as a “Top 25 Small Cities for Art” for the past 12 years, Asheville has been described as an “artist’s utopia.” This exhibition will look closely at Asheville’s art scene, from leading commercial art gallery Blue Spiral 1 representing major southern artists for 25 years to the artist collective studio space Pink Dog Creative, one of the first to be established in Asheville’s River Arts District. In addition to works by contemporary Western NC artists, visitors will be able to see works by 20th century masters such as Joseph Albers and Kenneth Noland from the collection of Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center. GreenHill will present two programs focusing on the role of art spaces in the revitalization of the communities they are situated in. The story of Asheville’s growth into one of the state’s leading destinations and the formidable impact of the arts in the city’s economic flowering will be explored in a panel discussion by experts in arts and city planning from both Greensboro and Asheville entitled “Economic Resurgence | Makers Making a Difference” on Wednesday, July 27. Asheville gallery directors will offer participants an insider’s view of their organizations during a gallery round table on Sunday, August 21.
