Celebrate Art, Community, and 22 Years of Creativity at the Turchin Center!
Join us on Friday, May 2 from 5–8pm for a vibrant evening of art and celebration during Boone’s First Friday Art Crawl—and help us toast the Turchin Center’s 22nd birthday!
At 5:00pm, kick off the evening with a special ARTtalk: Oak Spring: Seeding Artists—a conversation with Danielle Eady, Programs Director James Adelman, Residency and Fellowship Coordinator whose work is inspired by the land, gardens, and archives of the Oak Spring Garden Foundation.
Then, explore the opening of Webs of Significance: Center Award + Grant Winners, an exciting new exhibition showcasing the diverse and powerful voices of artists whose work was supported through Center’s grant and award programs.
Enjoy refreshments, connect with artists and friends, and be part of a night that celebrates two decades (and counting!) of creativity in the High Country. Free and open to all!
