The works on display reflect natural landscapes, depict native flora and fauna, study everyday objects, and explore color, pattern, composition, and design. The exhibit features work by 15 of the Association\u2019s members, including: Sarah Bowling, Barbara Hale, Stacy Pugh, Amy Keim, Gail Williams, Kelvin Seabolt, Linda Weatherly Shroyer, Walter Shroyer, Linda Landreth, Bonnie Hill, Julie Fleishaker, Cindy Gillespie, Norma Mahood-Bay, Kathy Wides, and Gail Williams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibit opened on September 7, 2019 and will run through December 21, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The public is invited to a closing reception on Saturday, December 14 at 2:00 pm to meet the artist and learn about their process, enjoy refreshments, and shop local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit the Appalachian Arts Center online at:<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.appalachianartscenter.org\">http:\/\/www.appalachianartscenter.org<\/a><br>or<br><a
