SUMMARY:Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld
DESCRIPTION:Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center presents Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld\, an exhibition celebrating the works of mother-daughter artists\, Lore Kadden Lindenfeld and Naomi Lindenfeld. Lore\, who attended and graduated from Black Mountain College in the 1940s\, made a career as a textile designer and educator while continuing to create weavings\, fiber collages\, artist books\, and drawings. Her daughter Naomi creates colored clay objects that are tactile\, useful\, and visually complex. In the exhibition\, the mesmerizing striations of color in Naomi Lindenfeld’s pottery are placed in dynamic conversation with her mother’s innovative textiles\, mixed media collages\, and drawings.  \nFrom Naomi Lindenfeld—  \nI grew up with my mother’s loom in our family’s living room. Not many years later I ended up with clay carving tools and a rolling pin in my own ceramics studio. The pairings of work in this show exemplify the influences of my mother’s work on me and have served as an opportunity to both grow creatively and to honor my mother and her life’s work. \nI grew up hearing riveting stories of Black Mountain College\, its avant-garde\, experimental environment and brilliant\, unique personalities. As well\, I was exposed to many artists and craftspeople during my childhood and took my first pottery class with a friend of my mother’s. I responded to the immediacy of clay more than what appeared to be the tedium of threading warps on a loom. While working on a degree in ceramics from Boston University’s Program in Artisanry\, I discovered the Japanese technique\, Nerikomi\, of layering colored clays to create patterns. I have been captivated by exploring many ways of working with colored clay ever since. I have also come to realize that my method of working with clay – the sense of movement\, abstract graphic quality\, nature-themed imagery and vivid color – echoes my mother’s textiles. In designing work for this show\, I was first more drawn to my mother’s fiber collage work than her weavings\, as a closer match for my own techniques and sensibilities. I later saw that the way I carve into the layers in two directions appears as woven fabric. \nIt was both fascinating and challenging to interpret a two-dimensional medium within a three-dimensional realm; to not just reproduce my mother’s ideas and imagery but to draw inspiration and design the pieces as my own. My hope is that my ceramics\, while paying homage to my mother\, stand on their own just as her fiber works do. \n___ \nARTISTS \nLore Kadden Lindenfeld (1921 – 2010) emigrated with her family from Germany to the U.S. in 1938. After settling in a suburb of Boston\, Lore worked to help support her family\, earning fourteen dollars per week as a seamstress and sales clerk. She was the primary breadwinner for the family. She had previously studied fashion design in Germany and worked as a seamstress doing alterations and in various other jobs.  \nAfter enrolling in adult education classes at Harvard\, she received a scholarship to study at Black Mountain College in 1945. She remained at BMC until she graduated in 1948. Lore studied textile design with Anni Albers\, Trude Guermonprez\, and Franziska Mayer as well as taking classes with mathematician Max Dehn\, artist Josef Albers\, and writer M.C. Richards.. Her training at BMC was integral to her development as a textile designer and her work in industrial textile production.  \nInspired by the Alberses and the Bauhaus tradition\, she worked as a textile designer for the New York fashion industry\, followed by a career as a weaver\, fiber collage artist\, and as a weaving and art history teacher on the college level.   \nNaomi Lindenfeld has developed a line of colored clay works\, intended for daily use as well as for gatherings and celebrations. Flowing movement is the main feeling that Naomi hopes to convey in her work. Her inspiration is drawn from her love of dance\, patterns in the natural world that result from the movement of water and wind on materials like rock\, wood\, and shells. The colored clay technique allows one to work with colors while making a piece. Naomi loves to experiment with different color combinations to see how colors blend and contrast to create different moods.  \nShe took her first pottery class at the age of 12\, continuing to work in clay in high school\, and finally earning a degree in ceramics from Boston University’s Program in Artisanry. Naomi has had the chance to share her enthusiasm of colored clay by teaching workshops at many craft institutes around New England\, and since the fall of 1998\, she has been the ceramics teacher at The Putney School. While being one of the founding members of the Brattleboro Clayworks\, a potter’s collective\, she now has her own home studio in West Brattleboro.  \n___ \nRECEPTION AND TALK \nJoin us for the opening reception for Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld hosted at BMCM+AC on Friday\, January 30\, 2025 from 5:30–8pm. \nOn Saturday\, January 31\, 2025 at 11am\, Naomi Lindenfeld will give a “Perspectives” talk about Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld and the artistic conversations between works in the exhibition. \nBoth events take place at Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street\, Asheville\, NC}. Free and Open to All.

SUMMARY:"Tiny Beautiful Things" at NC Stage
DESCRIPTION:Based on the bestselling book by Cheryl Strayed and adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos\, Tiny Beautiful Things personifies the questions and answers that “Sugar” was publishing online from 2010-2012. When the struggling writer was asked to take over the unpaid\, anonymous position of advice columnist\, Strayed used empathy and her personal experiences to help those seeking guidance for obstacles both large and small. \nTiny Beautiful Things is a play about reaching when you’re stuck\, healing when you’re broken\, and finding the courage to take on the questions that have no answers. \nContent Advisory: Like the best advice\, Tiny Beautiful Things doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff. This production contains explicit language and mature discussions on child abuse\, sexual assault\, and suicide. \nRegular Adult Tickets: $24-$48 (depending on chosen seat)\nStudent Tickets: $10 (18 and under/ college and graduate students with student ID)\nWednesdays\, Thursdays\, Saturdays: 7:30pm ; Sundays: 2pm\nFirst Friday (20th): 7:30pm ; last two Fridays (27th & 3rd): 2pm\nOpening Week “Choose Your Price” Nights: March 18th – March 20th

SUMMARY:Bryan E. Robinson launches She'll Be KILLING 'Round the Mountain\, with Linda-Marie Barrett
DESCRIPTION:Join us in-store or live online when local author Bryan E. Robinson launches his new mystery\, She’ll Be KILLING ‘Round the Mountain\, in conversation with Linda-Marie Barrett. \nThe event is free\, but registration is required to reserve your seat.  \nClick HERE to register for the IN-STORE event.\nClick HERE to register for the VIRTUAL event. \nShe’ll Be KILLING ‘Round the Mountain\nA high-speed shootout and a series of unexplained murders greet Dr. Einstein Brad Pope and his fiancé upon their arrival for their wedding in Asheville\, NC. The 35-year-old psychologist soon realizes he’s ensnared in a dangerous web of deep-woods survivalists\, calling themselves the United Survivalist Army (The Real U.S.A.)\, preparing for Armageddon in the remote mountains of Western North Carolina. The preppers’ battle cry\, “Prepare to Survive or Die\,” targets the “zombies”— unprepared citizens like Pope. \nThe doomsayer-preppers believe the zombies will roam the streets and plunder their carefully hidden cache of supplies when the economy collapses\, the electrical grid fails\, and apocalyptic weather threatens to wipe people off the map. To survive\, Pope is forced to succumb to the same kick-ass\, pit-bull tactics of his abusive\, alcoholic father against the homegrown militant terrorists. But first\, he must win an inner battle with his tortured past to find the line between his integrity and his own survival.

SUMMARY:Green River\, Green Love & Good Luck: Hemlock Treatment Volunteer Workday
DESCRIPTION:Are you in need of a bit of (belated) luck on this St. Patrick’s Day? Join Hemlock Restoration Initiative in the Green River Game Land near Saluda\, NC for a Hemlock Treatment Volunteer Workday on Saturday\, March 28th\, from 9:30-4:30.  \nWe have tried to make this an annual tradition\, and now the Green needs our help more than ever. Hemlock trees are an essential and irreplaceable part of western North Carolina’s forests\, but for over 20 years\, they’ve been under threat from the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA)—an invasive insect that can kill hemlocks in our region in as little as four years. \nHelp us protect hemlocks from HWA in the Green River Cove Road area! Volunteers will be moving through the forest off-trail applying insecticide to individual hemlocks for HWA control. Our workday site will have flatter terrain and a mostly dry river crossing; waterproof boots are recommended\, but not required. \nPlease note\, volunteers will be working with insecticide. Every volunteer will be paired with a trained HRI team member who will provide instruction and guidance.  \nRegistration is required. To register\, visit the event page on our website and fill out the form at the bottom of the page by Thursday night\, March 26th. More details about the meeting location and what to bring will be provided after registration. Reach out to us at (828) 252-4783 with any questions. \nNote: Since we will be working with insecticide\, children under 18 and pets are not permitted at this event.

He developed his program of spirituals to spotlight\nthe significance\, art and beauty of 19th-century American heritage songs associated\nwith the Underground Railroad\, the network of secret routes and safe houses used by\nenslaved people of African descent. \nRaphael\, a native of the Bronx\, was an early prodigy pianist\, performing at Carnegie\nHall as a 7-year-old. As a teen\, she pivoted to jazz and\, in the decades since\, has built\na deep reputation through performances at Jazz At Lincoln Center\, The Blue Note\,\nJazz Showcase in Chicago and jazz festivals in Tel Aviv\, London\, Ottawa and South\nAfrica\, among countless gigs. At Mars Landing\, expect to hear her original composition\n“Blues for OP (Oscar Peterson)\,” which she performed at a tribute concert in Toronto\nfor Peterson.
