This weekend art show and sale is free and open to the public. This year’s annual
event will feature new art work created by five Voorhees family members along with two guest artists.
The event will again be featured in a family home, this year at Susan Voorhees’ house. Meet this
extraordinary family of artists known throughout North Carolina and the Southeast.
The 26th event will feature an art raffle benefiting Asheville Art Supplies For Kids a local non-profit.

The arts legacy began with Edwin Voorhees, (1919-1999) and Mildred Voorhees (1924-2007) both
accomplished painters and well known throughout NC for their artwork. The first Voorhees Family Art
Show was held in the family home in Morehead City in 1998. Edwin passed away the next year but the
Voorhees Family Art Show continued in Morehead for several years. With Mildred’s move to Asheville
the show followed with it being hosted in one of several Voorhees family homes in North Asheville
ever since. The Voorhees Family was recognized with an exhibition “Nature & Nurture: The Voorhees
Family Artistic Legacy” at the NC Arboretum during the summer of 2022.
This year’s show celebrates the 26th show for the Voorhees Family and continues the legacy begun by
Edwin Voorhees back in 1998. Three of Edwin and Mildred’s six children a daughter-in-law, and
David’s son-in-law will be showing their work at this event: Susan Voorhees, oil and pastel paintings;
Jane Voorhees, watercolors, prints, cards and calendars; David Voorhees, wood-fired stoneware and
porcelain pottery; David’s wife, Molly Sharp Voorhees, sterling silver and gold jewelry. David’s son-in-
law, James Becker with resin art creations. Also exhibiting are guest artists Cheryl Stippich, stained
glass and polymer clay, and Chad Alice Hagen, felted art and handmade books. For more information

A unique event featuring a group mediumship reading and a silent auction is set
to raise funds for local non-profit, Asheville Cat Weirdos, a local non-profit organization that
provides assistance with emergency veterinary costs for cats in Western North Carolina.
Since the organization relies 100% on donations and volunteers, local psychic medium, Kelly
Palmatier, was inspired to donate a fundraising event, “An Evening with Spirit & Fundraiser for
Asheville Cat Weirdos.” It is scheduled for Monday evening, November 27, 2023, from 6 to 8
p.m. and will be held at the Hi-Wire Brewing Event Space in Biltmore Village at 2B Huntsman
Place, Asheville, NC 28803.
For skeptics and believers alike, Palmatier aims to channel loved ones who’ve crossed over and
bring inner peace to audience members, although event details make it clear that not every
audience member will receive a reading.
“I named my company Channeling White Light because it’s a metaphor for making a positive
difference in the world,” says Palmatier, “so I love donating fundraisers and helping the
community in any way I can.” She and her assistants are handling and paying for every detail of
the event, and 100% of the proceeds will go to Asheville Cat Weirdos.
Star Broadnax, Interim Director for the Asheville Cat Weirdos Emergency Fund
(AshevilleCatWeirdos.org), expresses gratitude for the event: “Our organization thrives on
donations and the selfless efforts of volunteers. We are incredibly thankful for this event and
the support it provides in our mission to help cats in need.”
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. for the silent auction, followed by the group mediumship reading
beginning at 6:30 p.m. The event also features a cash bar provided by Hi-Wire. Tickets are $25
per person or $40 for a couple and can be purchased online at ChannelingWhiteLight.com.
