Opening at the Asheville Area Arts Council Gallery, a girl and a gun: asheville artists cope with love and death will give viewers some insight into life’s most moving experiences through the eyes of Asheville artists.

“When it comes down to it, sex and violence are our timeless allegories for love and death, our most burning concerns,” says la Paix in describing his vision for his first curated show.

Opening reception Friday, December 13, 6-9 p.m. at the Asheville Area Arts Council Gallery, 346 Depot St. The exhibit will be on display through January 24, 2014.
