January 17 Exhibit Announced in TDB

An article, by Storme Smith, in the Tryon Daily Bulletin announces the opening of a new exhibition titled "You Belong Here" at Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS). The showcase, which debuts with a reception on January 17 from 5 to 7 p.m., aims to foster community spirit through a curated collection of member-created works that reflect art and craft from the Blue Ridge Foothills. The exhibit will feature a wide variety of media, including paintings, sculpture, ceramics, and fiber art.

The article highlights TPS as a cornerstone of the local art scene for over 50 years. The nonprofit organization supports over 250 members and maintains a gallery that rotates exhibitions every six weeks. The piece also emphasizes TPS’s commitment to education, offering diverse classes in disciplines like oil painting and printmaking, and its contribution to the local economy with its gallery store featuring original works by its members.
