OPEN CALL
SMALL WORKS / BIG HEART
A juried exhibition of small artworks interpreting humanity's love and admiration for the naturalworld around us.
Nature in its many forms has been interpretedby artists since the earlycave paintings ofLascaux, France. Our natural environment and the relationships we develop within its context are, indeed, rich with inspiration. 'Small Works/Big Heart' will include small artworks inspired by this theme - the artist's love of floraand fauna; seascape and landscape; the celestial and otherworldly.
The exhibition namesake, 'Small Works / Big Heart,' is both a theme and a call to action. The exhibition is slated to run during the holiday season, a time when many of us like to carry out "small works" of kindness that show our love for our communities and our world. With this in mind, CANVAS ArtSpace is committedto donating half of the exhibition proceedsto MountianTrue, an environmental non-profit that champions resilient forests, clean waters, and healthy communitiesin Western North Carolina.
Please join us in raising funds for this important cause!

WITH FALLING LEAVES, DOWNTOWN ART BANNERS MORE VISIBLE
(HENDERSONVILLE, NC, October 24, 2017) – Forty banners of outstanding artwork in downtown Hendersonville flutter on street poles in the autumn breezes, made even more visible for pedestrians and drivers alike as leaves fall from trees lining the streets and avenues. The art banners remain in place through the fall and winter, and will be replaced by a new selection of artwork next April. Which means deadlines are looming for sponsors and artists who want to participate in the 2018 show.
Applications for sponsors of individual art banners are being taken by the ArtScape committee. Deadline for sponsors at a cost of $200 per banner is December 31, or until all banners have sponsors. Sponsorships will increase to $225 January 1-15. January 15 is the final deadline for sponsorships. Individuals, businesses, galleries, and others are encouraged to support the ArtScape outdoor art exhibit by sponsoring banners for next year’s display. Sponsors will receive their banner at the end of the showcase year. A total of 50 banners will be included in the 2018 exhibit.
Artists who wish to apply to be included in the 2018 ArtScape display have a deadline of January 19, 2018, to submit their work, application, and entry fee. Artists must live in Henderson County and be 18 years or older. More information on how to apply for this juried outdoor exhibition will soon be available at . A total of 50 artists will be chosen to participate in the 2018 show.
“We have had an outstanding response to this new project in downtown Hendersonville,” reported ArtScape committee chair and artist Costanza Knight. “This is our first year to have this exciting outdoor art show on the streets and avenues for locals, tourists, students, artists, shoppers, and all to enjoy. Next year we will add 10 more banners – 10 more artists and their artwork – to the exhibit, which will include several banners along Locust Street and 7th Avenue as well as Main Street and the avenues crossing Main.”
Colorful brochures, describing each artist, each sponsor, each banner location, are available in many downtown shops and businesses as well as at the Visitors Center on South Main.
“Fall and winter are good seasons to stroll along and easily view the banners and the artwork,” Knight continued. “We are already preparing for next year’s exhibition, but we encourage everyone who enjoys art by local artists to take advantage of the current show.”
ArtScape Hendersonville is a community-building project adding interest and color to the downtown area, showcasing locally created art and helping make the city an exciting and unique art destination. The annually changing cornucopia of 40 banners on Main Street, Seventh Avenue, and the downtown side streets creates a unique twist on an outdoor gallery experience.
