The group also supports the development and stewardship of the Asheville Art Museum’s permanent collection through annual purchase of a work of art for the Museum.

On November 5, 2007 the Art Nouveaux held their inaugural Purchase Party and voted to acquire three works: Battle Zone by Anne M. Lemanski; Pitcher by Oscar Louis Bachelder and Peggy’s Cake Shop, West Munroe, Louisiana, April 1985 by Alex Harris.

Through the generosity of Ray Griffin, the Museum also acquired Pinky Bass’s Barbed Wire I in honor of the Art Nouveaux and Thom Robinson.

On April 7, the group will explore print collecting through examples from the Museum’s collection and discussion with passionate print collectors.
