The Western Front, Christmas, 1914. Out of the violence a silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht.” Thus begins an extraordinary time of camaraderie, music, and peace. A remarkable true story, told in the words and songs of the men who lived it.
“A beautiful musical retelling of a World War I ceasefire
with gifts of music, poetry, and melody.”
-New York Times

The artists of the Kenilworth Artists Association have rescheduled their Fall Open Studio Tour & Sale for the weekend of Nov. 30-Dec. 1, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
“We’ve taken a tumble with Hurricane Helene arriving a week prior to our originally scheduled event, but we have dusted ourselves off, taken stock of our good fortune and hope to welcome our neighbors, our friends, and our community into our studios,” said Angela Maddix, a long-time participating artist.
The Kenilworth neighborhood, located south of downtown Asheville near Biltmore Village, is the setting for the tour. The inspiring work of artists who create their art in the midst of this historic neighborhood they call home will be available for purchase.
This year’s participating artists will showcase a wide range of media: works in oil, watercolor, acrylic, gouache, encaustic, jewelry, pottery, ceramics, glass, fiber, woodcraft, mixed-media, illustration, photography, paper and collage. Visitors will find unique local, hand-made art for holiday gift-giving, and special occasions. The tour is free, and is self-guided.
Each artist will donate a portion of sales to Loving Food Resources, a pantry serving western North Carolina hospice and HIV/AIDS clients.
A brochure with a map of studio locations, as well as more information about the participating artist, may be found at https://www.kenilworthartists.org/
