Join us at Blowing Rock Frameworks & Gallery for an opening reception for the Different, Yet the Same show, Saturday August 13th from 3-6pm. Meet the artists and view their work while enjoying complimentary libations and hors d’oeuvres. The show will feature the brilliant colors and flowing nature of Wes Waugh’s watercolors in contrast with the neutral and enigmatic nature of Amy Sullivan’s giant barns. Though these two artists have different styles and mediums, they are very similar in many ways.

With Blowing Rock as the epicenter for this festival, artists are invited to take advantage of the beautiful High Country setting, set up their easels, and paint “en plein air.” During the event, artists can be spotted all over Blowing Rock and the surrounding area! Painters are often happy to engage with the public and answer a few questions as they work, but be sure to consider their limited time. The festival will include artist awards and an opportunity to sell work! The public is invited to view and purchase completed art at the end-of-event Wet Paint Show and Sale.
