Recently, Chef Peter Pollay was invited to appear on Carolina Kitchen, WLOS 13's food segment that features Asheville-area chefs and their favorite recipes. Chef Pollay shared with WLOS viewers three classic Posana Cafe dishes: Fettucine, Local Trout and Root Veggies, and the famous Kale Salad. These are great meals to share with friends and family, and we're happy to share them with you! Check out the links below to get the inside scoop. 

Fresh Fettucine, Trout with Root Veggies, Kale Salad

Our journey continues! We've been so happy with our decisions to make Posana as environmentally friendly as possible, so it's easy to keep it moving forward.

With the help of the Blue Ridge Sustainability Institute and Sundance Power Systems, Chef Pollay and the AIR "Green Team" helped facilitate a new initiative for several AIR member eateries: installing solar-powered hot water systems! We installed a six-panel array here at Posana to help keep us lean, mean, and green! The installation happened on a cold winter day, but it generated a lot of heat around town! Thanks to the Asheville Citizen-Times, the Laurel of Asheville, the Mountain Xpress, and WLOS for covering the green restaurant movement in Asheville. We are proud to be a part of such a passionate and engaged community that really cares!

Barbara Fisher's oil and charcoal paintings incorporate her personal vocabulary of iconic forms and gestural marks into ethereal fields. Her intuitive approach and long time interest in the idea of the Collective Unconscious can be seen in all her work, as images appear and recede and take on different meanings to each viewer.

Fisher was born in New York City. She holds her BFA from University of Colorado at Boulder and has continuing studies in the MFA program at San Francisco State University before settling in Asheville in 1998.   

Lowell Hayes was born near Butler, Tennessee in 1936. The artist holds a B.A. from Lynchburg College and an MFA from the University of Chicago. Hayes was included in a touring exhibition by the National Museum of American Art, and in 1981 that institution included his painting “A TVA
Commonplace” in a show that traveled to major museums nationally. With important Museum and corporate collections placed, the most recent addition is the massive Piedmont landscape called “Haw, Bynam” hanging in the North Carolina Cancer Hospital at University of North Carolina.

You may visit the gallery between 9am-9pm, 7 days a week. The Adler Gallery also serves as private dining and event space for Posana Cafe. During private events, the gallery is closed.

Moments of Elation in the Appalachian Woods: May 20th - August 2nd

Ellen, a talented artist, took her life at the age of twenty-eight on May 7, 2009 after a ten-year battle with mental illness.  The exhibit, An Unfinished Woman, is on display in the Adler Gallery from April 17 to May 29. In addition to being a memorial art exhibit, it is the family’s wish to shed light on the seriousness of how to best treat people suffering from mental illness and to reduce stigma about the condition. Ellen’s mother, Anne Burke, describes her as a gentle soul who loved art, music, nature, gardening, cooking, and spending time with children.

A native of Massachusetts, Kirsten Moran holds a BFA in painting and a BA in Cinema from Binghamton University. She is currently an MFA candidate at The Savannah College of Art and Design. Kirsten lives and works from her studio in Charleston, SC. There she finds the many Southern spirited women that inspire her to create these thoughtful paintings.

The use of pure pigment oils on her canvases has enhanced the timeless quality of these portraits by providing an embellished texture to the surface without the use of any additional compounds, additives or fillers. The artist's classical styling exudes a strong contemporary feel.  Each painting channels the essence of femininity and the voice of the individual woman's spirit after which the painting is named.
