BY STAFF REPORTS • RIVER ARTS DISTRICT, ASHEVILLE<br />
Mark your calendars for the Big Fall Art Event<br />
on Saturday and Sunday, Nov 9th and 10th.<br />
Continuing decades of ‘Strolls”, the very first of<br />
its kind and the largest in our area, hundreds<br />
of artists in the <strong>River</strong> Arts District will open their<br />
studio doors to visitors all weekend 10-5 pm. Art<br />
in all mediums and styles can be found from large<br />
statement art pieces to small gift one-of-a-kind<br />
gift items. Ride the free trolley, enjoy refreshments<br />
in every building, and see many demonstrations<br />
throughout the weekend. This is a great family-friendly<br />
event. Just a few of the artists who can<br />
be found are:<br />

Peter Roux’s Suspension<br />
series<br />
utilizes somewhat<br />
“epic” landscape<br />
subjects - clouds,<br />
“Suspension (east sky blue) no4,”<br />
large open spaces.<br />
He sets them<br />
by Peter Roux, 36x48<br />
against elements of flat mark-making as visual<br />
pulls into imaginary space. In these offsets, he<br />
creates tensions and relationships that reflect on<br />
how contemporary spatial language, and therefore<br />
contemporary space itself, can be understood.<br />
