The Depot Room, housed within The Historic Tryon Depot, joins in the fun with a fresh exhibit of Richard Baker’s work. Don’t miss this beautifully restored building; a rich piece of Tryon history located up the steps of the clock tower.

Thompson’s Landscaping has added a gallery to their business and joined the Trot events. Their new name is Thompson Garden Gallery and Outdoor Living. Thompson’s new concept offers a place for showcasing local talent, artists and craftsmen, with a mix of items for home and garden. Everything from pet portraits to wooden quilts and hammocks to teak furniture is offered.

Tryon Painters & Sculptors hosts an opening reception for its “Members’ Show-Painting Only.”  This will be the first Trot to include TPS’s gift gallery, featuring members’ smaller works for sale. Regular business hours are Thursday-Saturday 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

The Upstairs Artspace offers two colorful new shows. “Revolver” presents painter Daniel Nevins (Asheville) and turned wood/mixed media artists Dustin Farnsworth and Daniel Marinelli (Greenville), each linked by forms that turn, twist and revolve. “Marked Up” introduces Nava Lubelski (Asheville) in a solo exhibit of vibrant, kinetic mixed media wall and tabletop pieces.

Bravo Interior Design and New View Realty (next to City Hall) will feature works from Jim Shackelford, Linda Page Hudgins, as well as Mara and Ford Smith. Enjoy the art display along with an array of munchies and refreshments including locally brewed beer.

Other Trot participants include: The Book Shelf, Green River Gallery, the 1906 Pine Crest Inn and Vines & Stuff. Find the Tryon Gallery Trots on Facebook, email info@skyukafineart.com or go to downtowntryon.org for more information.
