Every Brick Has A Story

Lexington’s, River Bluff High School, is scheduled to open Fall 2013.  The bricks being used for the school’s exterior were born from the clay found on site. According to an article in The State, shale from the 146-acre site on Corley Mill Road was used to create 600,000 bricks. Now known as “River Bluff Blend,” the deep red bricks bring a resource-conserving heritage to the school’s unique design.   Read more at TheState.com

The beautiful riverside setting was perfect for displaying the art of over 25 artists. Approximately 200 guests enjoyed food, wine and mingling with the artist while enjoying the art and the atmosphere. Five pieces of art were sold and new partnerships created. Several residents expressed an interest in taking classes or attending workshops at the Corley Mill Artists’ Group school. Michel McNinch, the instructor for the Group’s classes, said that residents were sure to get inspiration for paintings from the beautiful surroundings at Saluda River Club. The River District provides a wealth of opportunities for photographing and painting nature.
