It's undeniable that Asheville is inundated with talent, and the arts are the heart and soul of the city. From Appalachian crafts that have been carried down through generations to contemporary and novel creations, the galleries in the area host world-class offerings with a unique hometown twist. Biltmore Park Town Square is now adding to the mix as host of the newly-founded cooperative Echo Gallery, which opens on Friday, September 18th.
Founded by six artists whose studios are currently headquartered in the River Arts District, Echo Gallery is a welcome expansion into South Asheville. While each artist is different in medium and style, each piece complements the other by showcasing skill, perspective, and method. Whether eager to observe a sample of what makes Western North Carolina such an appealing destination or shopping for your home, the quality of the paintings, ceramics, sculptures, textiles, and photography are sure to inspire.
The artists are excited about gaining more visibility in their new location, and Town Square couldn't be more excited about their contributions to the area. Asheville is one of the Southeast's most popular arts destinations, and Biltmore Park is glad to feature local culture and talent among its unique mix of national and local tenants. The founding artists of the Echo Gallery include Anna Koloseike, Barbara Fisher, Susan Webb Lee, Genie Maples, Laurie McCarrier, and Lori Therault.
Echo Gallery is located in Suite 160 at Eight Town Square Boulevard across from the newly opened Barnes & Noble. The hours are Thursday-Saturday from 2 p.m. – 8 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. – 6 p.m., making it a wonderful destination for restaurant and movie-goers in Biltmore Park.
