Momentum on Broadway, downtown Asheville’s newest contemporary art gallery, located at 52 Broadway Street, hosts a storytelling event with local printmaker and raconteur Andy Farkas, New Year’s Day – Tuesday January 1, 2019 – from 2-4pm. This all ages story telling event, “What Will Your Story be for 2019?” will be in conjunction with a special presentation of his original prints and watercolors.
Andy depicts times of triumph, bewilderment, and excitement through his beautifully written vignettes inscribed within his whimsical imagery. Inspired by Andy’s daughters and his own life events, these original vignettes call upon our emotions to do the thinking and our own life stories to give the phrases added depth and significance. Along with sharing his charming and insightful stories, Andy will discuss his creative process of printmaking in the Japanese style of Moku Hanga, an ancient Japanese printmaking technique using woodcut engravings and water-based pigments.
“Stories build bridges between the seen and unseen world — breathing life into a way of being, understanding, and feeling that, at its most profound, illumines a path toward enlightenment.” – Andy Farkas
This event will take place at Momentum’s Broadway location, 52 Broadway street in downtown Asheville from 2-4pm. Light refreshments will be served. All ages are welcome, and this event is free and open to the public.
