Cleaster Cotton “On the Topic of Color” reception on June 20

Please join us for our June Third Thursday artist reception at 6 p.m. on June 20th to view the vibrant new paintings of local artist Cleaster Cotton. In her artist statement, Cotton writes:

Art, a wonderful vehicle of communication, has been a high form of storytelling and record-keeping through the ages. It is my hope that this exhibit will foster communication and some degree of healing between the colors/races.

I invite you to consider color… how colors relate to and interact with each other on the surfaces of my printings, within our relationships, in our local communities, and our global societies. I am grateful for this opportunity to present a creative platform by which to consider and discuss the topic of color in Asheville, North Carolina.

We are excited to host the work of Cleaster, a long time friend of the Junction, on our walls this month. We hope you can join us for a glass of wine, a chance to chat with the artist and take in her paintings as part of the ongoing Third Thursdays on Depot Street series of art events and happenings in the River Arts District. For questions or dinner reservations, please call the restaurant: 828.225.3497.
