Food for Thought is
a champagne and dessert party and live auction at the YMI
Cultural Center in downtown Asheville.
This exciting event will raise money for programming at the museum/arts
center. A wide variety of desserts will be served with champagne and
coffee along with a lively auction conducted by professional auctioneer
John Hill of Weaverville who is well known for his humor.
Items to be auctioned are unique
plates, platters, and bowls designed and decorated by some of the area's
most talented artists such as Alli Good, Taiyo la Paix, Linda Larsen,
Kevin Hogan and many others including a very well-known New York-based
artist. These works of art all feature a thought from a student or teacher
from the legendary Black Mountain College. Quotes inscribed on each
piece of dinnerware are from Black Mountain College poets, painters,
philosophers, architects, and scientists. The finished works can be
previewed upstairs at Blue Spiral 1 during their regular business hours.
Food for Thought will be held
at the historic YMI Cultural Center, 39 S. Market St., beginning at
8:00 PM on Saturday night, July 10. Tickets are $20.00 for members or
$25.00 for non-members at the door. For further information call Alice
Sebrell at 828 350-8484.
