Art outings around Asheville
Posted on: October 23, 2010
The Asheville Citizen-Times has compiled a brief list of opportunities for art lovers in Asheville that will run from now until late November. Artists range from a North Carolina native to French painter Jean Claude Roy.
In a time when drawing may seem slow and tedious, The Green Hill Center for North Carolina Art in Greensboro is currently hosting an exhibit entitled Drawing Revisited, which surveys North Carolina artists working in mediums such as graphite, ball point ink and conté crayon.
The exhibition will run until Oct. 31–visit the site for more information.
No Boundaries Inc. was founded in 1998 by Wilmington artists Pam Toll, Gayle Tustin and Dick Roberts to gather local artists with those from around the world to participate in an international artist colony for two weeks in November every two years in Wilmington and on Bald Head Island.
Previous participating artists have come from many countries including Macedonia, Bulgaria, Canada, Holland, France, Scotland, Germany, Iraq, Switzerland, Turkey, Italy, Denmark, Austria, Serbia, Peru, Argentina, and Wilmington’s Sister Cities in Barbados, China and England.
This year, the organization will host a 12-year retrospective showcase of the colony’s work at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

The North Carolina Museum of Art is attempting to feature an exhibit in October 2011 that contains more authentic Rembrandt paintings than any American museum.
Located in Raleigh, N.C., the museum is borrowing Rembrandt pieces from nearly two dozen museums across the United States, such as the National Gallery of Art in Washington and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The total value of the exhibit is undisclosed, but according to museum officials, it will “exceed anything the museum has put together before, including blockbuster exhibitions of Picasso, Matisse Monet and Rodin.”
