EXHIBITIONS

Explore the beauty in tension: a balance of forms, the contrast between heavy and light, and the significance of negative space. 

Engorging Eden transforms everyday furniture into fragmented expressions of life's chaos, joy, and loss, while reflecting Asheville's climate-change-driven devastation and the artist's commitment to sustainability by using recycled materials. 

This Accessions series honors the new additions to our Permanent Collection throughout each calendar year. In the year 2024 we have accessioned over 170 pieces to our collection, each with their own story to tell. 

Consider the permeable boundary between form and function with this exploration of decorative ironwork, ranging in date from historic to modern.
