“I Pray You” - Poetry reading by Tim Jones
April 9, 3pm
RSVP: 828-698-7000 or info@galleryflatrock.com
For his second book of poems, “I Pray You,” published in 2021, Tim created a book of blessings that reflect the beauty and terror of being alive in the real world. Tim credits inspiration for the book to the late Irish poet John O’Donohue, particularly O’Donohue’s book “To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings.” The poems in “I Pray You” are drawn from Tim’s real-life experiences being on the front lines of trying to keep vulnerable people safe in the middle of a pandemic.
“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.
