TOE RIVER STUDIO TOUR December 6-8, 2013 FRIDAY 12 to 4PM SATURDAY 10 to 5PM SUNDAY 10 to 5PM MITCHELL and YANCEY COUNTIES NC www.toeriverarts.org reception dec 6 5 to 7pm 269 oak ave spruce pine Premier Studio Tour in the Country I would like to invite you to join us for the Toe River Studio Tour this December 6-8, 2013. It is perhaps the largest and the longest running studio tour in Western North Carolina; you will find craftspeople and artists in nearly every medium, many tops in their field. LA SMITH FEST K C I V AL B 2 014 BLACKSMITH EXHIBITION MARCH 29 - APRIL 26 reception APRIL 25 5 TO 7PM APRIL 26 10 to 4 SAVE THE DATE featuring Master Blacksmith Scott Lankton SPRUCE PINE TRAC GALLERY WWW.TOERIVERARTS.ORG www.downstownsprucepine.com An Old Time Christmas Saturday, December 7 The tour is a FREE, self-guided trip that will lead you to some unique places in our community that is situated between Mt. Mitchell and Roan Mountain. Visitors travel through valleys, past streams, across rivers, over hilltops, and experience breathtaking mountain vistas as they those many out-of-theway studios. Meet the artists, see where they create and where they live. Our small towns also offer an array of galleries, studios, and other quaint businesses you won’t want to miss. To take the tour all you need is this guide, and then follow the red, arrowed tour signs. Stop by either one of our TRAC Galleries to pick up your map and view the artwork on display. The TRAC Spruce Pine Gallery features an exhibit of tour participants well-ahead of the tour weekend and provides a great visual tool for planning your trip. Also, TRAC’s Burnsville Gallery is open to welcome you with a display of some of our tour participants’ artwork. Our Tour Committee works hard all year long to improve the tour. One suggestion we’ve heard was to move the June tour dates and make the times consistent. We’ve queried artists and participants, and we’re pleased to announce that we have moved the Spring Studio Tour to the first weekend in June. Now we can say the Toe River Studio Tours take place “the first weekends in June and December” and the times for both are Friday from noon to 4 pm, Saturday and Sundays from 10 am to 5 pm. We thank you for providing feedback and hope you will continue to give us your opinions that can help to make our tour even better. Enjoy the tour and have a wonderful time in our community! terry mckinney jared mcqueen ron powell don pedi P.S. Check page two for the special events we've scheduled during the Tour. On Friday, December 6, enjoy the reception, meet and greet the artists and plan your next two days, then walk up the stairs and listen to singer, songwriter, storyteller, Michael Reno Harrell, in a special Christmas performance at 7pm. And on Saturday, the 7th, TRAC will present an "Old Time Mountain Christmas" from 2 to 4pm at the ARC. There will be activities for kids of all ages and music by the Traditional Arts Program for Students [TAPS] instructors. This program is sponsored by the NC Arts Council, a state agency, and the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area.
