"Shop, Rock and Roll" Rocking Chair Program 2016
THIS YEAR'S MEDIUM: PAINTING
Welcome to Black Mountain! Previously known as "The Front Porch of Western North Carolina”,
our Black Mountain Chamber has begun a new marketing campaign, now referring to us as
“The Little Town That Rocks.”
Kicking off the 2016 season, we've showcased rocking chairs - featuring painting from amateurs and professionals alike - showing our area’s icons, landscapes, lifestyle, nature...
ROCK AND RELAX...
Installed around Town by late May, be sure to take a leisurely stroll around Town and find your "spot to rock” and relax. As you do the "Rocker Crawl," you'll find over 30 rocking chairs for you to sit, rock and relax while enjoying all that Black Mountain and Swannanoa Valley has to offer.
The rocking chairs are sponsored by businesses and residents in the Black Mountain area, with paintings being provided by many of our talented local artists.
These one-of-a-kind rockers will be auctioned in October 2016, with proceeds benefiting the Black Mountain Marketing Council.
So take your time...
...find your "spot to rock” and enjoy the moment!
