New Works by Shelley Schenker - Magazine Mosaics
Kick off the holiday season with good food, drink and art while making a difference in Buncombe County. Local celebrity artist, Shelley Schenker, most recently known for her unique design of the 2009 Bele Chere Festival art, will be adding several new pieces to the large selection of her works that are regularly on display at Brixx. Shelley’s work creates quite a stir for patrons of the restaurant. From afar they are interesting compositions of animals – everything from frogs and fish to owls and pelicans – come in for a closer look and you will see that these pieces are actually made of pieces – yes, pieces of torn magazine pages – thousands of them in some cases! For this one evening event there will be signed art prints, notecards and holiday cards for sale at the restaurant. Appetisers will be provided in the cocktail area. The first 100 event attendees will receive a FREE gift from the artist and special value coupons will be offered by Fast Frames. 10% of all art sales from this event will be donated to Asheville Greenworks. Asheville GreenWorks, an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, is a volunteer- based organization working to achieve a clean and green Asheville and Buncombe County through community organizing, educating and environmental stewardship since 1974. The artist's work can be viewed at www.magazinemosaics.com.
