A fun trip to plan for the fall!
TROLL ALERT!
CHECK IT OUT AND MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
Nov 15th-Feb 17th - Something extraordinary is coming to Asheville this winter! The North Carolina Arboretum and Explore Asheville are elated to announce the arrival of TROLLS: A Field Study. Visiting on their first North American excursion, twelve oversized troll sculptures will explore the Arboretum’s formal gardens and along its trails, embarking on a curious journey to learn about humankind.
Produced by Imagine in collaboration with Danish artist Thomas Dambo, these friendly and fanciful sculptures evoke a sense of wonder and intrigue as they study our small, intricate and inventive ways of life in Western North Carolina. Standing seven to nine feet tall and lovingly described by the artist as “Baby Trolls”, the creatures are crafted from materials like fallen branches, wooden pallets and twigs.
♥️ Even if you’ve seen an exhibit of his here in the states, this new crew of 12 trolls is part of a brand-new exhibition never before shown in the U.S. Each one is a fresh creation, with new personalities and a new story to tell — and they’ll all make their first appearance at The North Carolina Arboretum!
