May – November from 11am - 4pm
Every third Saturday of the month during May
through November, the resident artists at Grovewood Village open up their
studios to the public, allowing visitors to gain insight into their creative
process and view their most recent works. Tours are free and self-guided and
will take place from 11am - 4pm on all dates.
Grovewood Village is home to 12
resident artists whose workspaces were originally built to house the weaving
and woodworking operations of Biltmore Industries - a groundbreaking enterprise
in the history of American craft and textiles. Today, these resident artists
create jewelry, pottery, sculpture and more, in the same workshops where Biltmore Handwoven Homespun was once
created.
“This region has so much to offer
artistically, and this is a wonderful opportunity for the public to connect
with some of our local makers,” says Ashley Van Matre, Marketing Manager at
Grovewood Village. “Hopefully people walk away inspired, with a better
appreciation for the artists’ work.”
All participating artists will have
works for sale, and visitors are encouraged to go next door to Grovewood Gallery,
where additional artwork will be on display.
Please Note:
Many of the resident artists spend time away at shows and working on
commissions. If you really want to see a particular artist, please make sure
their studio is going to be open before you visit. Appointments for studio
visits are welcome throughout the year and can be scheduled through Grovewood
Gallery or by contacting the artists directly. Learn more at www.grovewood.com/resident-artists.
