SUMMARY:Palaces for the People: Guastavino's Great American Places
DESCRIPTION:From 1882 to 1943\, in 31 states and six countries\, Raphael Guastavino and his son created more than 600 unique tile domes and vaultings that met his criteria of health\, safety\, and beauty. Palaces for the People is an exhibition about his life and works. It is now open at Asheville Museum of History\, in the city where Guastavino completed his final projects. Unable to find a seat in the tiny Catholic church in Asheville\, he built his last great structure\, the St. Lawrence Basilica. In Asheville\, the exhibit will feature additional elements and artifacts highlighting Guastavino’s time in and around the city. The Exhibition is a co-operative venture of the Guastavino Alliance\, Christmount\, Swannanoa Valley Museum\, and St. Lawrence Basilica.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITION: Vera B. Williams / STORIES
DESCRIPTION:Vera B. Williams / STORIES\nEight Decades of Politics and Picture Making\nBlack Mountain College Museum + Arts Center\nJanuary 26 – May 11\, 2024 \nVera B. Williams\, an award-winning author and illustrator of children’s books\, started making pictures almost as soon as she could walk. She studied at Black Mountain College in a time where summer institutes were held with classes taught by John Cage and Merce Cunningham. Williams studied under the Bauhaus luminary Josef Albers and went on to make art for the rest of her life. At the time of her death\, The New York Times wrote: “Her illustrations\, known for bold colors and a style reminiscent of folk art\, were praised by reviewers for their great tenderness and crackling vitality.” Despite numerous awards and recognition for her children’s books\, much of her wider life and work remains unexplored. This retrospective will showcase the complete range of Williams’ life and work. It will highlight her time at Black Mountain College\, her political activism\, and her establishment\, with Paul Williams\, of an influential yet little-known artist community\, in addition to her work as an author and illustrator.
