BRAHM exhibit to feature three artisans
The Blowing Rock Art and History Museum will open its new exhibit, “North Carolina Treasures: A Painter, A Potter and a Rocking Chairmaker,” with a preview reception at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 10.
The exhibit celebrates the work and lives of three of North Carolina artisans: painter Bob Timberlake, potter Glenn Bolick and seventh-generation chair maker Max Woody.
Visitors to the exhibit will see examples of the artists’ fine work that spans their long careers, as well as memorabilia, tools, photographs and other belongings that tell the stories of their lives.
“We are delighted to have these three exceptional North Carolinians in this exhibit,” said BRAHM Executive Director Joann Mitchell. “Each of them has created a lasting legacy with their work, and we are glad that we are able to share that with our visitors.”
Admission to the preview party is $30 and includes a sneak peek at the exhibit, a chance to meet the artists and light refreshments. Tickets may be purchased in advance by calling (828) 295-9099, extension 3001, or at the door.
The exhibit will open to the public at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 11.
