Local artist ‘Tall Greg’ selected for inaugural residency at The Wyre

Local Asheville painter Greg "Tall Greg" Carr has been selected as the inaugural artist-in-residence for The Wyre, a new housing complex in the city's River Arts District. The year-long Brian Schick River Arts District Residency provides Carr with a rent-free apartment in exchange for hosting monthly art classes, creating a signature mural, and offering residents a behind-the-scenes look at his artistic process via social media.
