Pine Crest Inn
The 1906 Pine Crest Inn will welcome “trotters” to enjoy live music, tasty hors d’oeuvres and the art of Richard Baker and a new installation of works by Richard Oversmith.
Upstairs Artspace
Upstairs Artspace has three exhibitions during the Trot. Evolution, space and consciousness come in the form of abstract paintings by Barbara Fisher, Ann Stoddard and Felicia van Bork in Mind Over Matter. In Parallel Play, duo Jan and Jim Kransberger exhibit figurative glass sculpture and mixed media folk art. Funny Papers is the third of these group shows, curated by Tryon painter Margaret Curtis and Ursula Gullow. The cast is entirely from Asheville, N.C. and yes, most of the works are on paper. Julie Armbruster, Andy Herod, Kreh Mellick, Michael Ohgren, Victor Palomino, Nathanael Roney, Martha Skinner, Kirsten Stolle and Jessica White take on current socio-political issues with the humor of the funny papers.
