Artful Living: The Spirit of the Craftsman Style
Nov 21 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Grovewood Gallery

Grovewood Gallery proudly presents Artful Living: The Spirit of the Craftsman Style, a group exhibition celebrating the enduring influence of the American Arts and Crafts movement. On view from October 18 through December 31, 2025, this curated showcase brings together the work of four contemporary makers who honor traditional craftsmanship while offering fresh perspectives on timeless forms.

Featured artists include ceramicist Leslie Green Guilbault, a Roycroft Artisan whose pottery blends nature, myth, and metallic luster; blacksmith Paul Garrett, known for his handcrafted metalwork and luminous mica lamps inspired by early 20th-century design; furniture maker Timothy Livingston, whose heirloom-quality pieces reflect a deep reverence for honest materials and joinery; and painter Shawn Krueger, a Roycroft Master Artisan whose landscapes echo the quiet mood and tonal beauty of historic plein air work.

Exhibition – Sharon Louden: Barriers & Boundaries
Nov 21 @ 11:00 am – 11:00 am
Tracey Morgan Gallery

Tracey Morgan Gallery is pleased to present “Barriers & Boundaries,” a solo exhibition by Sharon Louden showcasing three interrelated bodies of work — paintings from The Barriers series (2023), selections from the Untitled series (2010), and a new wall installation featuring works on paper from Louden’s ongoing and current series, Barriers to Entry (2023–25). Together, these series trace Louden’s evolving vision, revealing a rich dialogue between past and present, painting and installation.

Louden’s work investigates limits—both actual and psychological—and the space in which constraint becomes possibility. The Barriers paintings evoke edges, thresholds, and the complex interplay between openness and division. The Untitled series explores fragile architectural form, color, and gentle quietness in the gestures themselves. The wall installation in Barriers to Entry transforms one of the gallery’s walls into a site of engagement, inviting viewers to navigate, literally reflect, and imagine themselves in a new environment.

Women of the Pacific Northwest
Nov 21 @ 11:00 am – 6:00 pm
Asheville Art Museum

Women of the Pacific Northwest celebrates the voices, visions and material mastery of female artists working today, with roots from this rich and progressive region. Through the execution of disparate media from bronze, steel, glass, tin, plaster, mylar, printmaking, hair nets, cloth, rubber, wax to paint, these artists have achieved inventive, creative practices originating from critical, generative, inquisition of natural, social or subliminal forces. This exhibition highlights a group of female artists working in diverse media creating art that explores connections to place, whether sociological, environmental or spiritual, in a region supportive of equality, ecology and enterprise. These artists are among today’s pioneers, interpreting universality through personal observation and inventing poetic, transcendent works inspiring greater, pluralistic understanding, connecting us to one another and to the world around us.

Featured artists:

Victoria Adams, Drie Chapek, Jaq Chartier, Susan Dory, Betsy Ebys, Ann Gardner, Emily Gherard, Estuko Ichikawa, Lisa Jarrett, Brenda Mallory, Wendy Red Star, Katy Stone, Susan Zoccola, Marie Watt, and Julie Speidel.

The 27th and final Voorhees Family Art Show and Sale will be held on Saturday, November 22, 2025, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday, November 23, 2025, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm at 55 Woodward Ave in the Norwood Park neighborhood in Asheville. After many years of holding this family show – 21 held in Asheville – this finale will be a celebration of art, connection, and community.
 This weekend art show and sale is free and open to the public. This show will feature new artwork created by eight Voorhees family members and two guest artists. The event will be hosted again in the home of Susan Voorhees. Meet this extraordinary family of artists known throughout North Carolina and the Southeast.
 The family is continuing the tradition of supporting a local nonprofit. Over the years, the family has raised nearly $23,000 and supported 8 local organizations, including MANNA FoodBank and Open Hearts Art Center. The 27th event will feature a fundraiser to benefit Save Beacon Village, a newly formed nonprofit. Hurricane Helene’s lasting effects on WNC have been devastating for so many. David’s daughter Catherine Wood and her family lost their house to Helene flooding in Swannanoa. Thankfully, they evacuated safely. The Wood’s Beacon Village neighborhood was one of the hardest hit areas in Western NC. The Wood family will be moving back into their rebuilt house this fall. Many neighbors are not so fortunate, and this year’s fundraiser is another opportunity to support these recovery efforts. More details on our website: www.voorheesfamilyart.com

Hendersonville Theatre

Hendersonville Theatre welcomes back one of the top 10 Celtic bands in the United States, Tuatha Dea, for our Hometown Sound Music Series finale! Don’t miss this unique and unforgettable experience born of a family drum circle that will draw you into the music!

Tuatha Dea is a progressive Americana band with a Rock edge, a Celtic-Appalachian influence, and a fearless attitude for pushing the boundaries of modern roots music. Their music thrives on a perpetual energy backed by expansive vocal ranges, steady, driving percussion, electric instrumentation, and the melodic sounds of acoustic instruments like fiddle, guitar, penny whistle, bagpipes, and even didgeridoo. From Gatlinburg, Tennessee, the band’s eclectic sound blends the tribal vibe of primitive drums with conventional and nonconventional instruments to create a real evolutionary musical crossover that defies category and genre! Combining primal rhythms, melodic and ethereal ballads, and screaming guitar riffs with an Appalachian/Celtic vibe, Tuatha Dea inspires audience participation and has embraced its Celtic heritage and meshed the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland with their bold blend of mainstream rock, mountain drumming, and Appalachian blues to produce a truly unique sound that has a universal appeal.

The band’s members are also a family! Rebecca and Kathy Holman (Vocals), Danny (Damasqhs) Mullikin (Multi-Instrumentalist), Tesea Dawson (Multi-Instrumentalist), Chris Foxfire Bush (Multi-Instrumentalist), Brandon “B” Mullikin (Electric Guitar), Brett Maney (Percussion), Jeremiah Waldon(Bass), and Sarah Faith (Guitar) promise to deliver an unforgettable performance!
