Artist, Buddy Snipe
American Folk Art & Framing, 64 Biltmore Avenue, is hosting its 12th annual Miniatures Show, featuring works by 14 of the gallery’s artists. The exhibit will run from February 11–25, and will be available online (amerifolk.com) beginning at noon on Tuesday, February 9. There will be a public reception from 5–7 p.m. on Friday, February 12, at the gallery.
This popular show requires something unique from the artists, in that each piece must be no larger than nine by seven inches. This restriction always fuels the creative spirit of the artists who never cease to amaze by what they’re able to create.
Timed to take place in the middle of winter and just before Valentine’s Day, the Miniatures Show has evolved over the years into a welcome tradition. It is a celebration of love and a gathering to appreciate the smallest and the finest things in life.
Artist, Karl Mullen
Modernist Ellie Ali will be contributing to the exhibit for the first time. Karl Mullen’s miniatures are actually quite powerful, despite their diminutive size. And Asheville’s own Spencer Herr has created some provocative, albeit petite, paintings.
The more traditional artists—Buddy Snipe, Cornbread, Lucy Hunnicutt, Liz Sullivan, and others—will delight visitors to the show with their heartfelt additions.
