Asheville’s much anticipated Kenilworth Artists Studio Tour returns for its 18th annual event on Oct. 8 and 9, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The Kenilworth neighborhood, located between downtown Asheville and Biltmore Village, is the setting for the studio art tour. Held at the start of Asheville’s “leaf season,” when western North Carolina begins its fall leaf color transition, tour participants will enjoy mild temperatures while taking in Kenilworth’s lovely mix of grand homes, modest bungalows, and mature gardens. It’s your chance to enjoy and purchase the inspiring work of 28 artists who create their art in the midst of this historic and charming neighborhood they call home. This year’s participating artists will showcase a wide range of media: works in oil, watercolor, acrylic, gouache, encaustic, jewelry, pottery, ceramics, glass, fiber, woodcraft, mixed-media, photography, paper and collage. Fun for both the serious art buyer or the casual browser, it’s a great destination for finding unique local, hand-made art for holiday gift-giving, special occasions, and treats for yourself. The tour is free, and is self-guided. As has been the association’s tradition for many years, each artist will donate a portion of sales to Loving Food Resources, a pantry serving western North Carolina hospice and HIV/AIDS clients.
This campaign is sponsored by Subaru and the ASPCA in an effort to unite animals in need of homes with new families. Blue Ridge Humane Society will receive a $100 grant up to the amount of $3,500 for each cat and dog adopted during this campaign. On Friday, October 21 st from 11 am until 5 pm, Blue Ridge Humane Society will be participating in the WLOS Pet Project located at Hunter Subaru in Fletcher, NC. During this major adoption event, we will
have adoptable dogs onsite and will also be offering discounted adoption fees. View all of Blue Ridge Humane Society’s adoptable animals by visiting www.blueridgehumane.org/adopt.
