“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.

The four host galleries will be open for a Gallery Crawl on Sunday afternoon, April 3 from 1:00 to 5:00. All works will also be on display during normal gallery hours for the duration of the show.

Show Chair Norie Sanchez explained that “Passport” guides will be available at each gallery listing addresses and the artists’ locations. Passports will be punched at each gallery and every passport with punches from all four galleries will be entered into a prize drawing. “We want to make this fun and enjoyable for everyone – the artists, the viewers and the galleries. April is a perfect time to get out and see what tremendous local talent there is on the art scene.”
