Fabulous Fakes

OPENING on May 4, 2024
May 4 - 12, 2024
Three locations: Art MoB, The Gallery at Art Place, The Gallery at Flat Rock

Fabulous Fakes is always such a fun exhibit, especially with all the surprises we get in seeing what participating artists create! Yes folks, it's that time of year that we can muse over the talent of local artists who have risen to the challenge of creating a clever doppelgänger to a famous work of art (by adding a twist or two...)

The Gallery at Flat Rock is staging a new kind of exhibit in an unusual art space—the gallery’s bathroom. Titled 'Women’s Room,' this special show that opens March 23 will include wall art and sculpture by over a dozen local artists highlighting women and women’s history to celebrate Women’s History Month. A freewill donation will serve as an entry fee to the newly revamped bathroom space; all proceeds will go directly to benefit programs at Safelight in Hendersonville. Following the opening event, ‘Women’s Room’ will be on display, free and open to the public, until April 30. 

Join us next Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. for the opening of Autumn Textures, a two-person show of new work by gallery artists Kate Thayer and Holland Van Gores. The seasonal theme will highlight the color and textures of Fall in Kate's distinctive landscapes in oils and Holland's turned wood vessels. The show continues through October 15th during regular gallery hours.

Join us from 2 to 4 p.m. this Saturday, September 16 for an artist spotlight featuring painter Cathey Stoney and Haley Jelinek, two artists new to the gallery. Cathey, a resident of Saluda who works in oil and cold wax, is a career artist and retired art educator. Haley is based in Asheville and creates functional pieces in blown glass workshops across the area. 

In a celebration of ephemeral beauty, The Gallery at Flat Rock is pairing twenty professional floral designers with an equal number of artists to present imaginative interpretations of juried works of art for its Eighth Annual Art in Bloom exhibit, September 1-3, 2023.

As this year's Art in Bloom weekend approaches, we are excited to share with you the plans for the annual Preview Party taking place from 5 - 8 p.m. on September 1. This "sneak peek" event has always carried the most buzz for this special weekend in that it's a chance to be among the first to see the art/floral combinations, chat with the artists, and experience the floral displays at their freshest.

We're so excited to highlight the work of local painter Marty Whaley Adams in the next in our series of Artist Spotlight events, happening from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, August 19. This informal meet-and-greet event will feature a collection of Marty's most recent paintings, created in her home studio over the past year.

Marty’s mini-show in the Gallery will continue until Saturday, August 26.

“A Father-Daughter Pop-Up Art Show”

Studio exhibition to feature the work of

sculptor Holland Van Gores and newcomer painter Julie Van Gores

The Gallery at Flat Rock and Marsha Hammel’s “Studio on Kanuga” are excited to present a pop-up exhibition of the work of father-and-daughter artists Holland Van Gores and Julie Van Gores. “A Father-Daughter Pop-Up Art Show”—which will be held at Hammel’s studio space on Kanuga Road—will open with a reception on Sept. 13 and be available for viewing for just three additional days following the opening. The show will serve as an introduction to the work of Julie Van Gores, a painter in oils and watercolor. Julie’s father Holland, who is represented by The Gallery at Flat Rock, is well known for his polychromed wood vessel sculptures. He will be exhibiting new work as well as legacy pieces in this two-person show. The artistic relationship of Holland and Julie reflects the longstanding tradition of creatives from different generations inspiring and encouraging each other as artists, says Hammel.

The Gallery at Flat Rock is thrilled to present a solo exhibition by Hendersonville artist Susan Webb Tregay from August 4 through 21. “Triple Vision” will highlight Susan’s artworks in acrylics and mixed media, including “Range of Motion,” “Turning the Tables,” and her “Free-Range Children” series, as well as a series of landscapes created during COVID called “Where the Rivers Flow West.”

An opening reception for “Triple Vision” will take place from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, August 4.

The Gallery at Flat Rock is thrilled to present an exhibition of paintings by Marty Whaley-Adams from June 30 to July 31, 2022, with an artist talk scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 16. “Moments in Time” is the first show of Whaley-Adams’ work at The Gallery at Flat Rock. Whaley-Adams has a long personal history with art, and while she hasn’t exhibited for many years, she’s a prolific painter who creates daily—mostly in her favorite genre, still life, but also dog portraits, people portraits and landscape.

“Fabulous Fakes”

The Art League of Henderson County is mounting a “Fabulous Fakes” exhibit and sale of members’ work at four local galleries (Art on 7th, Art MoB, The Gallery at Flat Rock and Woodlands Gallery) from Saturday, April 2 through Sunday, April 10. Fifty-eight artists have chosen familiar works as inspiration, creating their own tweaked “fake”. Each piece will be displayed with an image of the original inspiration so that viewers can compare and find the differences. Showing that inspiration can come from many places, there are fakes of works from Botticelli and Monet to Picasso and Bartholdi’s Statue of Liberty.
