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. These programs provide a space where people affected by addiction\, incarceration\, and gun violence can find solidarity while learning a skill. \nCraft-itarianism: Community Action Through Craft celebrates nonprofits and artists who believe in—and actively practice—the power of craft to support and empower individuals and communities.  \nThis exhibition was curated by 2026 Center for Craft Curatorial Fellow Alyssa Velazquez. 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:PATIO SHOW: Swift Silver
DESCRIPTION:– LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE\nSWIFT SILVER \nSwift Silver is the musical partnership of Anna Kline and John Looney. For 15 years\, they’ve cultivated a sound drawn from the well of Southern soul\, blues\, and Appalachian roots music. Anchored by Anna’s vivid lyrics and John’s masterful arrangements\, Swift Silver’s songcraft stays true to the place that made them. As artists in the Kentucky Arts Council Performing Arts Directory\, the duo shares their Southern sound widely\, including international appearances such as Your Roots Are Showing in Killarney\, Ireland. Swift Silver has appeared at major festivals across the region and abroad\, performing at MerleFest\, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion\, Master Musicians Festival\, Suwannee Springfest\, Sleeping in the Woods Songwriter Festival\, and CountryFest in Belgium. Their music has also been featured on the Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern and ESPN’s True South (Season 5). Both artists remain deeply connected to the Appalachian music community\, regularly collaborating with musicians across the region in songwriting\, touring\, and studio work. Anna’s songs and poetry were featured in the 2025 Women of Appalachia Project anthology\, and she co-wrote “Last Mule in the Holler” with Montana Hobbs of The Local Honeys. John has toured and recorded with artists including John R. Miller\, The Local Honeys\, Wayne Graham\, and Carla Gover. Swift Silver is a torchbearer of Kentucky’s musical legacy and a powerful voice in Appalachia’s musical evolution. They are preparing to release a new album in 2026.
