Haywood art entities come together

art hcacThe Haywood County Arts Council (HCAC) recently solidified partnerships with Haywood Arts Regional Theatre (HART) and The Strand at 38 Main in Waynesville to show work in the lobby of each facility.

Shows at HART will open in conjunction with shows on the Performing Arts Center Main Stage. Exhibits at The Strand will change approximately twice a year. 

The first show in HART’s Rodwell Gallery, “Soft and Stitched: Textile Artists from HCC,” opens April 8 and closes May 9. This show from the Haywood Community College Continuing Education Creative Arts Department will feature local fiber artists. Works of art from the Creative Arts Quilting and Upholstery classes as well as pieces from instructors who are fiber artists will be on display during the HART’s Red Velvet Cake War play. Haywood Community College’s Creative Arts programming offers an innovative, affordable, groundbreaking craft education. More information on classes can be found at creativearts.haywood.edu.

An emerging artist, Jared Schwartz, is currently being featured at The Strand. Fascinated by the human face, he presents viewers with interpretations of Native Americans, celebrities and others. Movies and comic books are influential to his art, and he utilizes light, shadow and the manipulation of color to make powerful images.
