Grand Bohemian Gallery Presents: “Living Images” - Augmented Reality Artwork by Jaime Byrd

Friday, May 7, 5-8 p.m.
Exhibition Runs May 7- June 1

Grand Bohemian Gallery presents a unique immersive art exhibition that includes an experience combining painting, filmmaking, animation, and sound design in Augmented Reality by Asheville-based artist Jaime Byrd. Paintings will be on display in the gallery and lobby and can come to life or tell a special story with motion, when viewed with a smart phone or tablet and a free online app.

With the new technology available through Augmented Reality (AR) artist Jaime Byrd is now able to merge her multi-faceted artistic skills over the last 30 years including filmmaking, music, and painting by creating immersive storytelling experiences using her original paintings, sound design, and footage she has filmed and created while traveling around the world.

Join Grand Bohemian Gallery and artist Jaime Byrd Friday, May 7, 5-8 p.m. as she shares her creations in person. Bring your tablet or smartphone (along with some headphones for an optimal experience). Red Stag Grill mixologists will debut samples of a special cocktail called “Electric Charge” inspired by Byrd’s painting of the same name, and celebrating this inspired exhibition.) Mask required and Covid safety protocols will be observed.
