Beginning Wednesday, July 2, Mars Landing Galleries will host Returning to the Ridge: Blue Ridge Craft Trails Invitational<\/em> through September 28. For this first-time craft exhibit for the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area (BRNHA), organizers of the event invited artists from Madison, McDowell, Yancey, Mitchell, Buncombe, Haywood and Jackson counties and the Qualla Boundary to participate. \u201cFrom there, interested artists responded to the call, and our curator, Anna Fariello, selected works from each artist,\u201d says Robin Johnston, Blue Ridge Craft Trails coordinator. \u201cVisitors can expect to see 60 pieces from 33 artists spanning a diverse range of craft mediums, including fiber art, glassblowing, pottery, printmaking, woodworking, metalworking (including jewelry) and basketry.\u201d An opening reception will be held Thursday, July 10, from 6\u20138 p.m.<\/p>\n

A site on the Blue Ridge Craft Trails, Mars Landing Galleries offered a perfect venue for the event. \u201cWe have known Miryam Rojas [owner of Mars Landing Galleries] as an innovative gallerist and have been looking for ways to partner,\u201d Fariello says. \u201cMars Landing\u2019s spacious galleries can accommodate a large amount of work, and showing craft pieces in a contemporary environment gives the audience a new perspective.\u201d Fariello will hold a curator talk during the exhibition, and artist talks are also planned throughout, with dates for these events still being determined.<\/p>\n

This event follows in the wake of the 2024 Blue Ridge Craft Trails Invitational at the Appalachian Regional Commission in Washington, DC. \u201cWe will be organizing another invitational exhibit, at The Bascom: A Center for the Visual Arts, in Highlands in the summer of 2026,\u201d Johnston says. \u201cWhile we certainly hope to encourage people to travel, we also want to make local communities aware of the talent in their midst. The invitational in Mars Hill will bring together artists and communities in the Central Mountains region, while the exhibition in Highlands will focus on the Far West.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunity to support and collaborate with such an esteemed entity as the Blue Ridge Craft Trails [an initiative of BRNHA] is an honor,\u201d says Rojas. \u201cI am so thrilled that Mars Landing Galleries has the space to serve the BRCT artist members, and the greater WNC community in general.\u201d<\/p>\n

During exhibition months, downtown Mars Hill will hold three First Friday events\u2014on July 4, August 1 and September 5\u2014during which Mars Landing Galleries will be open from 5\u20138 p.m. Other local shops, restaurants and galleries will also be open for evening shopping and dining.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny time we can connect craft artists with opportunities to exhibit their work, it exposes them to a larger audience and potential customers,\u201d says Fariello. \u201cIt is always valuable to highlight this region\u2019s talented craft artists and rich craft heritage in a way that is accessible to visitors and locals alike. Since the impact of Hurricane Helene, giving craft artists as many opportunities as we can to recover from the economic hardship they have all endured is of utmost importance. This event points to the resilience and rebuilding that the region\u2019s artists are facing head-on, creating new works and bringing more beauty into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
