The Asheville Art Museum Screens
Don’t Know, We’ll See: The Work of Karen Karnes

Saturday & Sunday, February 5 & 6, 2011
ASHEVILLE, NC — The Asheville Art Museum is pleased to screen the film Don’t Know, We’ll See: The Work of Karen Karnes on Saturday and Sunday, February 5 and 6, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. each day. This film screening is free with Museum Membership or admission.

Don’t Know, We’ll See: The Work of Karen Karnes beautifully captures the work and life of ceramist Karen Karnes, who worked nearly every day for over 50 years creating art. Filmmaker Lucy Massie Phenix has been a friend of Karnes’s since the 1960s, so this portrait of her has an intimacy that is unique in the genre of documentaries.

This film screening is held in conjunction with the exhibition A Chosen Path: The Ceramic Art of Karen Karnes on view Friday, January 28 through Sunday, June 26, 2011. Karen Karnes and Mark Shapiro, Editor of the book of the exhibition A Chosen Path: The Ceramic Art of Karen Karnes will appear in a conversation at the Museum on Thursday April 7th.
