From Wedge Studios:

First in new art series at the Wedge Studios: ‘Wedge Duos’

We invite you to a bold new venture at The Wedge Studios.

Twenty eight Wedge artists were randomly paired to create fourteen collaborative pieces of art! This will be the Wedge Studios first in a series of themed shows which opens April 20th, 2016.

In a building that turns 100 years old this year, The Wedge Studios has become one of the premier stops in the River Arts District. As the district grows the artists of The Wedge continue to celebrate and showcase the talent of their building.

The theme of the first show will be The Wedge as a concept, as an idea, as a shape, as a place. The wedge is one of humanity’s oldest tools. It is a simple means of focusing power and intention into a cutting edge.

Artists have always pushed their way into places that have been ignored and neglected, lifting them up through the power of imagination. The Wedge Studio Artists will celebrate the transformative power of its artists in this show and will continue its work by lifting the Asheville art community to even greater heights.

WEDGE DUOS

When:  Opening Reception:  April 20th, 2016  6 – 8 pm

Where:  Mark Bettis Studio & Gallery, 123 Roberts Street, Asheville, NC 28801

Light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served.

A percentage of proceeds collected from sales will go to the charity AHOPE

If you are unable to attend the opening each of the 14 works will be available for viewing throughout The Wedge Artists Studios for 30 days after opening.
