Ribbon Cutting: Studio 116

Join us as we celebrate new members Studio 116 with a Ribbon Cutting!

Celebrating its first year as Henderson County’s newest art space, Studio 116 (led by Melanie Hopkins) is just getting started in making art a unifying experience in the creative community, where everyone feels welcome, represented, and connected. Through Studio 116’s exhibitions and events, as well as workshops in its in-house Butcher Shop Press, Melanie aims to inspire artists and art lovers, and offer opportunities for them to expand on and learn new skills. She is excited to contribute to the already thriving art scene in Western North Carolina by shining a spotlight on the often overlooked and increasingly dynamic area of historic East Flat Rock.

Big thanks to Duke Energy, our annual sponsor for ribbon cuttings in 2026!
