From a press release:

Upstairs Artspace continues its 2015 season

The Upstairs Artspace continues its 2015 season with Boldly Astract: Seven Notable Artists and Jon Jicha: Drawings about Drawing. Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, March 21 from 5-8 p.m. The exhibition will run from Saturday, March 21 through Friday, May 1.

Abstraction has been a predominant art style and school of the 20th century, and it remains a favorite of painters, critics and audiences. Boldly Abstract offers a window on how abstract art is being painted in our region today. The exhibit features area artists Dusty Benedict, Swannanoa; Ian M. Cage, Hendersonville; Betty Clark and Barbara Fisher, Asheville; Greg McPherson, Sylva; Katie Walker and Paul Yanko, Greenville. Their uplifting work will occupy two gallery floors, showcasing generous applications of bright, luscious colors in many of the paintings.

Jon Jicha, whose one-person show is in the Small Works Gallery, is an abstract artist who teaches graphic design and media arts at Western Carolina University. His show Drawings about Drawing is a serious and fun adventure in linear experimentation.

The gallery is located at 49 South Trade St., Tryon.  For additional information: (828) 859-2828.
