They are: William Asman, Jennifer Bonner, Katya Cohen, Joan Lesikin, Shaun McCallum, Lisa Shimko, Lisa Steffens, Sandy Singletary, Jena Thomas and Carolyn Wright.\n\nSome artists are emerging, many are well established, but all have in common the fact they have never been in a regular Upstairs show.\n\nA second show features the charming, nostalgic postcard art of Terry Taylor. Taylor collects vintage postcards of scenes in Western North Carolina and the Great Smoky Mountains, which he transforms into art \"quilts\" by stitching together the postcards. Taylor is also new to Upstairs Artspace.\n\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverly-hanks.com\/blog\/hendersonville-art-galleries\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/lesikin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/art-galleries.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lesikin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/art-galleries.jpg 750w, https:\/\/lesikin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/art-galleries-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><strong>12 Galleries that Showcase the Best Local Art in Downtown Hendersonville<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-asheville-made wp-block-embed-asheville-made\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"2Uyp3ukYN3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ashevillemade.com\/when-backing-up-is-not-an-option\/\">When Backing Up is Not an Option<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;When Backing Up is Not an Option&#8221; &#8212; Asheville Made\" src=\"https:\/\/ashevillemade.com\/when-backing-up-is-not-an-option\/embed\/#?secret=ueUcNM1N1V#?secret=2Uyp3ukYN3\" data-secret=\"2Uyp3ukYN3\" width=\"590\" height=\"332\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">August 29th Article in <strong><em>Asheville Made<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/lesikin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AIB-Insta-L.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lesikin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AIB-Insta-L.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lesikin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AIB-Insta-L-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lesikin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AIB-Insta-L-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>May 24 &#8211; 27, 2019: One of my paintings will be interpreted by the floral designer Diane Harker of Greenville, SC along with 19 other artists and designers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gallery at Flat Rock <\/strong>2702A Greenville Highway, Hendersonville, NC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring 2026: Mini Batch Cafe recently opened across from their bakery on 7th Avenue in downtown Hendersonville, NC.
