SUMMARY:Fall paint-out and Campout  At Sam Knob-day one
DESCRIPTION:PAPA will be enjoying these beautiful Fall Pisgah views all day Saturday and Sunday. \nWith spectacular views of the Pisgah National Forest\, Sam Knob is an imposing mountain peak located at the edge of the Shining Rock Wilderness.

One can either paint from the wooden stairs and boardwalk or take up a position within the wildflowers themselves. For those who might feel a little more adventurous\, the summit awaits. \nAnd for those up for a more adventurous outing\, you are welcome to join us for a one-night campout. Bring a tent and gear. If gear is needed\, please reach out to Mike or Scott (contact info below) who have extra camping gear for anyone who needs it.  Artists are open to choose either day or the full weekend adventure.

SUMMARY:"Footsteps & Brushstrokes" installation
DESCRIPTION:During the Preservation Through Art exhibition\, the installation entitled “Footsteps & Brushstrokes” will be upstairs in the Wedge at Foundation and will display artwork and photos from the adventure on the Buncombe Turnpike that made this exhibition possible. Artist Mike “Sketch” Wurman and PAPA founder Scott “Doc” Varn embarked on this 80-mile\, 2-week trek following in the footsteps and brushstrokes of the original Picturesque America artist Harry Fenn. The original route mostly followed the Drovers road and the famed Buncombe Turnpike of the 1800s. By retracing the steps of the original artist\, we were able to find locations featured in the original Picturesque America serials. \nPhotos of the adventure and the original sketches at each of the 12 vantage points will be on display. They were created in the fashion of the original artist in both charcoal and walnut ink washes. Art shown below was created by Scott Varn and Mike Wurman. \nThis installation can be viewed anytime that the Wedge at Foundation is open. Visit their website to view hours. \nPhotos and more information can be found on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PreservingAPicturesqueAmerica \n             \n         \n       \n \n  \n
