HandMade in America Celebrates Asheville's Grovewood Gallery

August 30, 6:00-9:00 PM, A Handmande Meal with HandMade in America - Join HandMade in America to celebrate Asheville's own Grovewood Gallery, enjoy a handmade meal, local wine, and walk away with a handcrafted gift from Grovewood Gallery. All lovers of Western North Carolina craft are invited so please share this invitation with your friends and family.

Hosted by Diane and Bob Levy, the celebration marks Gorvewood's 20th year of operation with a private four course dinner prepared by Chef Mauricio “Mo” Abreu, and local wine from Appalachian Vintners.


Grovewood Gallery is located in Asheville, North Carolina, next to The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa. The gallery was opened in 1992 to revitalize the Homespun Shops that once housed the famous weaving and woodworking complex of Biltmore Industries. Grovewood showcases 9,000 square-feet of traditional and contemporary crafts by more than 500 artists from Western North Carolina and around the United States. Over the years, Grovewood has earned the reputation of being one of the nation's top retailers of fine American craft.

The special guests for the evening are Grovewood Gallery owners Barbara Blomberg and Marilyn Patton and Grovewood Gallery general manager Sherry Masters. Tickets are $100 per person, and will include four specially prepared courses, local wine and a handmade object from Grovewood Gallery. Proceeds from this dinner benefit HandMade in America, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that grows economies through craft entrepreneurship, economic development and education.
