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.
Join us for a Fall festival, Bazaar, and Craft Fair from 12-5pm on 11/11 at 15 Overbrook Place, Asheville, NC 28805.

You don’t have to be a fan of Game of Thrones to know that winter is coming. It’s in the air, fogging up the window panes and biting at noses and hands. And that means coats and warm accessories are needed in the community. Mast Store is ready to Share the Warmth in all its communities with its 14th annual coat collection drive November 1-30.
Our partner Columbia Sportswear shares in this important drive with their tenth year of donations of new coats and jackets to be distributed among Mast Stores. And we need your help too. Check our closets for gently-worn jackets, fleeces, gloves, hats, and scarves that might serve someone else this winter. Bring your clean coats and put them in the convenient donation boxes at any store.
In most of our communities, there is a greater need for children’s coats and coats in sizes XXL and larger.
Donations at the Mast Store in Asheville are given to Resource Center at Hillcrest. Help us share the warmth … it’ll warm your heart too.

Learn how to cultivate your own mushrooms at home with Fifth Season Gardening’s resident mycologist, Jesse Cerrato!
This class is geared towards anyone looking to gain a better understanding of the life cycle of edible mushrooms in a controlled environment. Edible mushrooms are a delicious addition to meals as they are composed of a wide spectrum of essential amino acids, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and are even capable of producing potent medicinal properties. Learning how to grow mushrooms at home requires a basic understanding of their nutritional needs. Jesse will teach you how to utilize common resource/waste products such as mulch, straw, and sawdust for easy mushroom cultivation. In this class, you will get to make and take home your own inoculated Blue Oyster mushroom block!
Ready dive in to your new hobby? Fifth Season Gardening has everything you need to set up your own mushroom growing chamber at home! This includes a small indoor greenhouse, digital humidisat, timer, and fan. All you need is a corner of a shady room and a basic humidifier to farm mushrooms off of your own spawn block! Pre-order yours by 9/18 to pick up at the class or order at the class – just $180! *To order, call the store at (828) 412-3200. Pre-payment is required.
About the Instructor: Jesse Cerrato has been hunting and learning about mushrooms for over a decade. A self-proclaimed “mushroom nerd,” Jesse’s interest in the fascinating world of mycelium led him to co-found Resting Point Farms in 2016 on his family’s land where he grows and provides edible mushrooms to local restaurants in the Asheville area.

Join us at Bold Rock to celebrate Vereran’s Day with some cider & painting! The food truck willl be cranking out delicious grub while we paint.
What’s the best part? A portion of the proceeds from this event go into the hands of the good people who run Veterans Healing Farm. They give FREE food to veterans! Here’s a quote from their website: “Our VA produce donations addresses both the issue of food insecurity in Western North Carolina and provides a space for veterans to be in nature, gather together, and continue the military mission of “service before self.” Last year we donated over 8,000 pounds of fresh produce free of charge, directly to local veterans and their caregivers, at the main entrance of the VA Hospital in Asheville NC.”
Cost is $30
Each painter receives a 16×20 canvas, the use of all painting supplies and step by step instruction. We recommend each painter be age 7 or up. You must register for this event by emailing [email protected]. You’ll then receive an invoice via email to pay to reserve your seat at the event.
Hope to see you there!
Cheers!
