FreeEvent Navigation
On February 8, UNC Asheville will present an exhibition of work from Cherokee artist Tara McCoy and from UNC Asheville students who learned hand building, pit firing and other techniques from McCoy.
A public reception will be held at the Highsmith Gallery in Highsmith Union from 7-8:30 p.m., with Artist’s remarks at 7:30 p.m. The gallery will continue to host the exhibition until February 15.
This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts. McCoy is the first endowed artist in the “Celebrating Cherokee Heritage through Art and Making” grant.
McCoy’s work has been featured in the Museum of the Cherokee People and the Asheville Art Museum. She dedicates herself to various community programs, including the Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual, The Center for Native Health, and the Ray Kinsland Leadership Institute, where she serves as a Right Path Leadership Specialist, developing selfless leaders deeply rooted in Cherokee cultural identity.
