SUMMARY:Ursula Gullow: Nightbloom
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours are Wed – Sat 11am-5pm \nTracey Morgan Gallery is pleased to present “Nightbloom\,” our first solo exhibition of painter and mixed media artist Ursula Gullow. Join us for an Artist Reception on Friday\, May 16 from 6-8PM. \nMoving between classical painting techniques and craft materials\, Gullow’s artwork embraces the decorative arts while reframing the female presence in Western art and rescuing historical imagery from its patriarchal forebears. Her richly painted tableaus and lustrous ceramic objects recontextualize sentimental narratives\, innuendos\, and adornments prevalent in European art history. Flowers\, foliage\, ribbons\, petticoats\, silk stockings\, and ornamental filigree fill her oil paintings of landscapes and interior spaces.

SUMMARY:Nationally Touring Comedian Sam Miller
DESCRIPTION:Asheville\, NC — May 18\, 2025 – Nationally touring comedian Sam Miller brings his raw\, hilarious\, and heart-forward stand-up to The Urban Orchard in Asheville for one night only. Known for his towering presence (literally—he’s 6’6”\, 360 pounds) and deeply personal stories\, Sam offers audiences a comedy experience that’s as healing as it is hysterical. \nMiller\, who’s been sober for 15 years\, draws from his experience as a parent\, a recovering addict\, and a blue-collar weirdo with a giant heart. His comedy often explores the absurdity of being a sober dad in a chaotic world\, and he’s earned national attention for his unique voice and unforgettable stage presence. \nHis debut album and special\, Round Trip\, produced by Grammy-winner Dan Schlissel (Stand Up! Records)\, debuted at #1 on the iTunes Comedy Charts and broke into the Top 200 overall. Sam is also a recurring guest on the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Show (with over 2.5 million listeners)\, has written for Newsweek\, and was the runner-up in the 2021 Seattle International Comedy Competition.
