The Haen Gallery, located in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, is proud to present their 12th Annual Lynn Boggess Exhibition. The exhibit will run through November.
Lynn Boggess is one of the most unique and noteworthy American landscape painters of the 21st Century. He resides in West Virginia, a state whose diverse mountains, forests, and rivers provide abundant inspiration for the artist’s plein air paintings. In place of brushes he uses palette knives and trowels to thickly layer the broad sweeping strokes and exquisite fine detail that capture all the colors of the seasons in rushing rivers, snow covered hillsides, and thick forest vegetation. Mr. Boggess’ work is recognized internationally for its incredible three-dimensional texture, rendered solely in oils. These remarkable paintings combine elements of Abstract Expressionism and Photorealism to create a style that is totally unique and original.
The Haen Gallery in Asheville is located at 52 Biltmore Avenue between City Bakery and Chestnut. There is a parking garage at the Aloft hotel across the street, another garage just up the hill, as well as street parking.
The gallery is open Monday through Saturday 11am-6pm & Sunday 12-5pm. For more information: 828-254-8577 or www.thehaengallery.com. Gallery contacts: Chris Foley, Director; Leslie Logemann, Gallery Manager.
With locations in Asheville and Brevard, The Haen Gallery offers the work of established artists whose distinctive and unique style sets it apart from ordinary and imitative efforts. Visit the website at thehaengallery.com.

The Queen’s Storytime
Featuring Ida Carolina
Sponsored by Ellipsis Theatre Company
November 25th, 3pm
First Congregational UCC Downtown: Friendship Hall
20 Oak Street, 28801
Miss Ida Carolina will read children’s books and pose for pictures after storytime! We’ll also have a coloring page featuring an illustration of Ida for each of our young readers to take home.
Ida Carolina is the (Drag) Queen Elizabeth of the South. A former Miss Blue Ridge Pride and Asheville Sweetheart, she is the current reigning Miss Midwest Comedy Queen.
We believe children should be familiar with all types of humans! Many children express gender fluidity at an early age. Our focus is all about expressing yourself in your own way. We want to create a safe and embracing environment for all attending our storytimes. We hope to teach empathy, compassion, and provide a unconventional positive role model. In play and in everyday life, it’s important for children to feel comfortable and creative!
