Grand Opening  of the Art Place on Locust

730 Locust Street (Historic 7th Avenue District)

Reception:  Friday June 27the   5 - 7 pm

Exhibit Open/Close dates:  June 27 open  July  29 close 

The Art League of Henderson County is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its new Art Place gallery, located at 730 Locust Street in the heart of the newly revitalized Historic 7th Avenue District in Downtown Hendersonville.

This exciting new venue marks a bold step forward for the Art League, offering double the exhibition space of the previous gallery on Asheville Highway. Housed in a beautifully redesigned 100-year-old building, Art Place blends historic charm with a sleek, contemporary aesthetic creating an inspiring destination for artists and art lovers alike.

To celebrate the opening, two dynamic exhibitions will fill the new space: Gallery II will feature a juried exhibit of Art League member works, while Gallery I will showcase a special invitational exhibit honoring the organization’s leaders, program chairs, and studio artists whose dedication has shaped its growth.

The grand opening event promises to be a joyful celebration of community, creativity, and the Art League’s vibrant future—ushering in a new era for both the League and the 7th Avenue District as a growing hub for arts and culture.
