designers have put the finishing touches on their fresh floral arrangements to ensure the public sees them at their freshest. On Friday and Saturday, June 14-15, in addition to the exhibit being open to the public for a nominal fee of $5, there will be a cottage garden tour of six local gardens with local artists painting en plain air at each site, capturing nature in bloom, and a concert by area musicians on Friday or Saturday evening. The garden owners are also volunteers who spend months in preparation for the event to ensure their gardens are ready to be visited. The theme for the 2013 event is “Friends and Flowers.” Each year an honorary chair is invited to participate; this year the honorary chair is David Holt, Grammy award winning musician, storyteller, historian, television host, and entertainer. Holt hosts UNC-TV’s Folkways, and PRI’s Riverwalk Jazz. The week following Art in Bloom, June 17-21, the plein air paintings from the cottage garden tour will be on display and for sale in the Center’s main floor hall. Along with the Art in Bloom event, both of these events showcase the artistic talents found so plentifully in Western N.C., the Swannanoa Valley and Black Mountain. Tickets for the Preview Party (which features a light dinner buffet), the cottage garden tour (part of which will be a walking neighborhood tour), and the concert will include admission to the Art in Bloom flower and art exhibit. Admission to the Art in Bloom exhibit only is also available between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, June 14-15.
