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:Charlotte Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on the meaning of home\, the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra presents a stirring program on the longing for beloved countrysides and pride of cherished folk music under the baton of Resident Conductor Christopher James Lees. Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony blends elements of the Czech composer’s heritage as he yearns for home with American musical influences in his excitement for a new land. Known for the moving “Simple Gifts” melody\, Copland’s Suite from Appalachian Spring offers a contrasting portrayal of a couple trying to establish their homestead in rural America in a work full of spirit and wonder.
