From a press release:
Open Hearts Art Center holds fundraising art exhibit at City Bakery
Asheville’s Open Hearts Art Center is holding an art show and opening reception to fund the organization’s ongoing nonprofit work. The event is scheduled to take place Saturday, Nov. 22, at City Bakery downtown from 6-8 p.m with music, food and libations to accompany the artwork showcased. All proceeds from this event will directly benefit Open Hearts Art Center.
Open Hearts Art Center is a nationally accredited community based non-profit art program, providing unique opportunities for differently abled adults to express themselves boundlessly and fearlessly. Open Hearts is scheduled to exhibit new works by our artists at City Bakery downtown and is inviting the community to join for a fun night filled with amazing artwork, music and refreshments.
Open Hearts day program provides semi instructional classes five days a week, Monday through Friday, 9am-3pm in visual and performing arts. The programs offered are as unique and varied as the individuals teaching and participating in them. When visiting the studio you might see a group dance performance, student artist’s painting on a life size canvas or artists sewing up a stuffed monster. A typical week at Open Hearts could include classes in painting, drama, dance, music, fiber arts, mixed media, ceramics, sculpture, screen printing, gardening (seasonal) and creative writing. Professional artists and crafters collaborate with student artists to develop a project idea and then bring it to life.
