Annual Voorhees Family Art Show and Sale is November 19 & 20
Post Date: 11.01.2011
David and Molly Voorhees, owners of the Hand in Hand Gallery in Flat Rock, and several members of their talented family are hosting the 14th Voorhees Family Art Show and Sale from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. on Saturday, November 19, and from noon–5 p.m. on Sunday, November 20. The sale will be at the Vorhees’ home at 43 Woodward Avenue in North Asheville.
The family’s arts legacy began with Edwin Voorhees (1919–1999), who was well-known for his North Carolina coastal watercolor seascapes, and his wife, Mildred Voorhees, and now their children and grandchildren. Mildred (1924–2007) was best known for her colorful, patterned watercolors and rich oil still lifes and landscapes. Reproductions of Edwin and Mildred’s artwork will be available at the sale.
On sale will be a collection of new paintings and artwork by Voorhees family members. Four of Edwin and Mildred’s six children plus grandchildren will be showing their work at this annual event. This year’s event features a book signing for Caren Goldman’s newly published Restoring Life’s Missing Pieces and an exceptional selection of new stoneware and porcelain pottery by David Voorhees from his recently constructed wood-fired kiln.
Meet this extraordinary family of artists known throughout North Carolina and the Southeast. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to MANNA FoodBank and to Kiva, helping locally and globally.
