Memorial Weekend – May 28 & 29

The eclectic and beautiful neighborhood of Kenilworth will again welcome folks in search of inspiration and wondrous works to the home studios of artists and craftspeople who live along the streets and cul-de-sacs of this historic residential area near central Asheville.

In this off-square, hill-and-gully neighborhood, where most roads head up or down, the fresh works of 17 artists showing in 14 locations mirror the same kind of curvilinear eccentricity, intrigue and sheer fun.

Traveling from studio to studio, you will be able to admire highly original works of art, including paintings, collages, pottery pieces and creatures, wood craft, hand shaped tiles, sculpture, fashion wear and artful jewelry, among other treasures. It will be an adventure in visual delight, running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

The Harvest House, a community recreational center that has been in neighborhood for over 50 years, is a tour stop this year. The center offers a variety of programs for adults of all ages including classes in furniture making, clay sculpture, weaving and mosaic glass plus exercise, dance, lunch outings, billiard tables, and various card and table games as well. The woodshop is open for public use on Thursdays and Fridays. Stop by anytime to see what Asheville Parks and Recreation has to offer!

A Kenilworth Art Studio Tour brochure containing a listing of each artist and a map of the studio locations will be available throughout May at the Chamber of Commerce, The Harvest House and in stores and inns across Asheville.
