THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
We want to thank everyone who attended the public grand opening of Blue Star Gallery and all those that helped make it happen.
From the musicians on the front porch that set the tone to the artists that came to talk about their amazing work, it was a day in our gallery's young history we shall never forget.
But wait! We have more coming! We will feature Kay Stratman's beautiful work on May 23 and there are plans to feature more artists and authors each month. Yes, there will be wine and snacks at an end of the day's reception for each of these.
Join us in our mission to make Blue Star Gallery and West Asheville a destination for lovers of art, music and food!

Interview with Babette Reynolds & Puck Askew
Thank you to Spectrum News Asheville for shining a light on our talented oil painter Puck Askew’s work, and for taking time to interview our artist, proprietor, and co-owner, Babette Reynolds.
Babette and her husband, David Newton, started Blue Star Gallery in conjunction with their non-profit, The Path Forward Foundation, in an effort to provide a space for Asheville artists whose studios and gallery spaces were affected by Hurricane Helene. Of every piece purchased from Blue Star Gallery, 5% goes to The Path Forward Foundation which raises money for artists who’ve been affected by natural disasters such as Hurricane Helene.

Giving Back
At Blue Star Gallery, art is more than what hangs on our walls — it’s a way to strengthen and celebrate our community. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we are proud to donate 5% of all net proceeds to The Path Forward Foundation, supporting recovery efforts and uplifting Western North Carolina’s resilience. By showcasing and championing local artists, we not only share their creative voices but also help rebuild the region we call home.
