Greenhill Center – Christmas Show
Sun, December 7, 2014 – January 12, 2015
This is Greenhill’s 40th Anniversary Winter Show, celebrating 40 years of Art in North Carolina. Chris was invited to display 4 major woodturning pieces for this event.
Curated by Edie Carpenter, Winter Show brings together over 120 artists each year from across North Carolina. A comprehensive survey of the finest art and crafts, the show represents a mix of mediums including painting, sculpture, photography, ceramic, jewelry, woodwork, fabric and fiber works, all within a harmonious installation. Artists showing work in the exhibition vary not only by mediums, but also by experience, background and perspective. To commemorate Greenhill’s 40th anniversary, Greenhill will present works from 40 new artists, 40 artists who have been in Winter Show in the past 10 years, and 40 artists from the first 30 years. The public is invited to view a carefully curated selection of works from emerging and returning North Carolina artists in The Gallery at Greenhill. With over 500 works all available for sale, The Gallery at Greenhill is free and open to the public.
