March 31 – June 30, 2025
The Art League of Henderson County announces: “All Creatures, Great and Small”
As December days slipped by, your furry and feathered friends know that spring is around the corner, growing anxious for summer. As life isn’t all springtime, so to those that hold special memories, their voices still echo in your ears, they will remain as one of us. Cecil Frances Alexander, a poet and hymn writer in 1800s, she is best known for this simple poem – ‘All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all.’ “All Creatures Great and Small” (named from the second line of the poem) is based on James Herriot’s tales of a late-1930s Yorkshire veterinarian. In its 2020 television adaptation, Dr. Siegfried Farnon assures his new hire surgeon that, “The animals are the easy part. It’s the people cause all the bother.” It’s the people that the animals touch. Artists are invited to create artworks of their favorite animal subject, with a picture in mind - the story of quiet joy that the animal tells.

Fabulous Fakes

“Fabulous Fakes” is a multi-location exhibit that will take place in a few participating galleries in and around Hendersonville during the month of April. Not only will you see copies of some of the best art in the world, but you are also invited into the very creative, fun minds of the exhibiting artists who take that art and put their spin on it. From Monet to Renoir, Klimt to Van Gogh, the member artists put their thinking caps on and transformed masters’ works into modern pieces of art.
