SUMMARY:Craft-itarianism: Community Action Through Craft
DESCRIPTION:The word craft-itarianism was coined by 2026 Center for Craft Curatorial Fellow Alyssa Velazquez to name artistic projects that generate employment\, raise awareness\, or offer therapeutic support through craft.

Launched in 2017\, the Curatorial Fellowship supports emerging curators exploring new ideas about craft with mentorship\, professional development\, and a $5\,000 honorarium to realize an exhibition. \nOn view February 27\, 2026–September 27\, 2026

SUMMARY:Footloose
DESCRIPTION:This musical doesn’t just dance\, it dazzles! Set to the anthems that defined a generation — “Holding Out for a Hero\,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy\,” “Almost Paradise\,” and of course “Footloose” — this show is sure to kick off an electrifying summer. \n	Dancing is not a crime…except in Bomont\, Texas. Then Ren McCormack rolls in\, all city swagger\, restless energy\, and a heartbeat too loud to ignore\, which catches the eye of the preacher’s daughter with a wild streak of her own.\n        When Ren’s beat hits\, the quiet cracks\, the pulse quickens\, and the town just can’t stand still. What begins as rebellion becomes revival\, grief gives way to groove\, and a community reclaims its rhythm.\n	The band’s on fire\, the kicks are higher\, now you gotta cut loose! Catch Footloose at the Flat Rock Playhouse June 12-July 5.

SUMMARY:Joyride Improv Workshop: Winning Is for Losers
DESCRIPTION:June 20 & 21 | 1:00 – 4:00 PM | Story Parlor \nIn improv\, the moment you try to “win” the scene\, you often lose the thing that matters most: connection. \nThis two-day improv workshop focuses on letting go of control\, negotiation\, and performance instincts so you can create scenes that feel honest\, alive\, and deeply connected. Through exercises and scene work\, we’ll practice active listening\, playing from presence\, and discovering the scene together instead of forcing ideas onto it. \nPlayers can also look forward to personalized feedback and heavy side coaching from Stevie\, Joyride Improv Founder & Teacher. \nWe’ll explore:\n– Connection over conflict\n– Discovery over invention\n– Resisting the urge to negotiate\n– Seeking to be affected and authentic emotional responses\n– Finding the answer in your scene partner’s eyes  \nWhen improvisers stop trying to win\, scenes become more surprising\, human\, and meaningful. The best scenes aren’t won—they’re shared\, collaboratively built\, and embodied.
