Annual Fall Studio Stroll, Nov. 14 & 15, 10-5The 240+ artists of Asheville’s River Arts District open their doors for a full weekend at the Fall Studio Stroll welcoming visitors, from near and far, to experience the vast array of art in their studios and galleries. Attendees will enjoy two days full of special demonstrations and events, including unique workshops and gallery receptions. The River Arts District is minutes from Downtown Asheville and The Biltmore Estate. Free parking throughout the district and over a mile of greenway and sidewalks make it easy to see it all. Stroll is an engaging experience for fine art collectors and curious day-trippers alike. You will find art and craft of all kinds being created in the district, from pottery to jewelry, blown and fused glass, fiber arts and clothing, to woodworking, and, of course, painting and drawing examining a myriad of subjects. This year we are excited to share the newly expanded greenway, connecting the district with walking and biking paths and offering open spaces for the kids or dogs to take a break or eat lunch outdoors. Free Parking at Depot Street (2 lots, plus street), Riverview Station (191 Lyman Street), and Payne’s Way (behind Wedge Studios). www.riverartsdistrict.com/event/2020-studio-stroll/

Summertime in the RAD!
We hope you include NorthLight Studios in your Asheville Itinerary this summer!
We are totally kid and dog friendly, and we'd love to meet you and your friends and family. Take a few minutes to come and browse, meet all the artists, check out our paintings, get to know the artists, and cool off - we've got AC ;-) Time and again we hear "it's so interesting to be able to have the full experience - meeting the artist who creates the art we're looking at. There's no other place like this, ANYWHERE!" Depot Street also has two restaurants and a coffee shop, plus plenty of parking at either end, and street parking in-between. There's so much to see at NorthLight Studios - a little something for everyone. We hope to see you!
“It’s an interesting space, and was a thoughtful exercise to curate this exhibition,” says Wendy Whitson, artist/owner of NorthLight Studios. “The office for Premier Sotheby’s International Realty is set up much like a gallery, and the lighting is excellent. There are also furnishings, which help provide an ambiance of being in a home. Each artist has a distinct style, and this show proves that an eclectic collection of paintings truly can hang together very well.”
The open house will take place in Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Biltmore Village location at 10 Brook St., Suite 130. Six artists, all painters, will be in attendance: Angela Alexander, Bill George, Bernadette St. Pierre-George, Nan Davis, Sandy Lear and Wendy Whitson. Beatrix Masotti, Managing Broker of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Asheville location notes, “Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s relationship with the arts is strongly rooted in our ties to the auction house, which has been uniting collectors with world-class works of art since 1744. Together, our companies are able to collaborate to provide unique and exclusive experience to a coveted and influential audience. This includes supporting local art and artists, which we have been doing here in Asheville since we opened our office three years ago.” The exhibition will run through October.
