The event, featuring 32 sculptures by 27 artists from three states, will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Blue Spiral 1 art gallery on Biltmore Ave. The suggested donation at the door is $25 per person.

RiverSculpture at Reynolds Mountain will be open free to the public starting Sept. 27 and will be open through Jan. 5.
