A new ‘Art + Energy’ gallery will have its grand opening from 5-7 p.m., April 26, at the Jackson County Green Energy Park.

The gallery will feature of blown glass, forge-hammered metals, and wood-fired kiln ceramics by local artists, including Tadashi Torii, Aaron Shufelt, Judy McManus, Tracy Kirchman, Clayton Hufford, John Burtner, Brock Martin and Preston Tolbert.

“Our new gallery is special and unique because all of the work displayed has been made using renewable energy. We pay great attention to what our artists produce and ask them to exhibit only the finest pieces,” said Nicole DuPont-Strub, gallery manager.

The Jackson County Green Energy Park is an award winning, community-scale landfill gas project located in Dillsboro.
