Art guild to hold first meeting of the year on Feb. 2

The Transylvania Art Guild will hold its first meeting of 2023 at 1 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 2, at the Transylvania County Recreation Center. It is located at 1078 Ecusta Road just behind Pisgah Forest Elementary School.

The presenter will be Amy Castell, a figurative expressionist, living in western North Carolina. She works in acrylic mixed media. Her works tell a story through the human figure. Casteel has exhibited internationally — at the World Art Fair in Dubai and in Milan, as well as gallery shows in New York — and has been a frequent presence in Hendersonville’s Art On Main, the county’s Open Studio Tour, and in exhibitions mounted by the Art League of Henderson County. She currently exhibits her work in Hendersonville at the Gallery on 7th.

Guests and members of the community are invited to share the presentation.
