After a two-year interlude due to COVID-19, ArtScape Hendersonville is back in full swing, with plans to once again add color and artistic flair to the city\u2019s downtown area. Banners showcasing work by local artists will be hung by the City of Hendersonville along Main Street and nearby avenues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ongoing support of this annual display by both sponsors and the public confirms Hendersonville\u2019s commitment to art, creativity and culture,\u201d says ArtScape Banner Program public relations chair Dawn Winter. \u201cThe banners tangibly demonstrate the strong connection between the arts, local businesses, organizations and individual art lovers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Forty artists are chosen to participate via a professional, competitive jury process. Mediums represented include watercolors, acrylics, oils, photography, sculpture and jewelry. Banners are sponsored by local businesses and art patrons.<\/p>\n
\u201cSponsoring a banner as advocates for the Boys & Girls Club is our way of honoring and giving back to an organization that made a strong impression on me from an early age,\u201d says Laura Bell. \u201cTheir support for the youth and their families in our community is critical in closing the opportunity gap that exists in many kids\u2019 lives and that existed in mine as a child.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year, Bell\u2019s self-portrait was chosen to appear on the Boys & Girls Club banner sponsored by Bell and her partner Gary Moore. \u201cIt is such an honor for us to sponsor a banner for the Boys & Girls Club and to have my art on the banner,\u201d says Bell. \u201cI feel like I have come full circle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Artist and new Hendersonville resident Cherry Rappoli\u2019s work, a creek scene rendered in vivid color, was chosen as the 2022 ArtScape poster and marketing image, in addition to being selected for a banner. \u201cI\u2019m so fortunate to have recently met Diane Dean who told me about the ArtScape competition,\u201d says Rappoli. \u201cI have already told friends about the banners and some are interested in coming to Hendersonville to experience the downtown area.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s banners will be showcased during ArtScape Reveal, held at 5 p.m. on Friday, March 18, at the Welcome Center stage at 201 South Main Street in downtown Hendersonville. All are welcomed to join in on the excitement as each of the 40 banners are revealed by the artists and their sponsors.<\/p>\n
