Four galleries in downtown Tryon will host the first Tryon Gallery Trot! Saturday, April 16. This event will kick off future Trots to be held in downtown Tryon throughout the spring, summer and fall. Participating galleries include Skyuka Fine Art, Upstairs Artspace, Kathleen’s and Richard Baker’s studio.

Skyuka Fine Art will host an opening reception for their “Equestrian Show” where many of the 10 showing equine artists will be on hand to discuss their works.

The Upstairs Artspace is also hosting an opening reception for two exhibits: “Something to Crow About,” where the popularity of the crow and other birds are the artist’s subjects, and “New Waves,” honoring new MFA graduates from Western Carolina University.

Kathleen’s offers new works for spring featuring artists: Lee Holroyd, Adam Kahn and Beverly Kies.

Richard Baker will host open studio hours for guests to see what new local landscapes he’s working on.
