Chimney Rock is an amazing spot to see spring migrants as they make their way back from the warmer, sunnier regions. Make sure you bring your binoculars to get a peek at numerous species traveling north. Just how many will you add to your list? A Park bird list can be found here. This hike is considered easy-to-moderate and does require advance registration.
Test your knowledge of French and American art, craft, and design from the 19th and 20th centuries in honor of our special exhibition Across the Atlantic: American Impressionism Through the French Lens. Between rounds, Associate Curator Whitney Richardson shares her favorite works from Across the Atlantic; sommeliers pair wines with paintings in the exhibition; and artist Ben Hamburger demonstrates Impressionist painting techniques. Recruit your favorite trivia partner, brush up on your fin-de-siècle art knowledge, and get ready to delight your senses of sight and taste. This program takes place via Zoom; space is limited. Generous funding for exhibition programming provided by Art Bridges. More info at ashevilleart.org/events.
