Event Description
The Art League again invites artists from Local Cloth to join our member artists to participate in our August Art Place exhibit in our new gallery space at 730 Locust Street in the Historic 7th Avenue District of Downtown Hendersonville. The combination of various art forms in our previous Fiber and Textiles show was extremely well received and we'd like to do it again. The Art League's new gallery space is located in a high traffic area and is nearly three times the space we had in our previous gallery.
In addition to the work in all medium from our members, the exhibit is open to the following including derivations and combinations of materials:
