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:RENT - Flat Rock Playhouse - 7/24-8/15
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago\, RENT ignited Broadway like a lightning bolt — a raw\, raucous\, Pulitzer Prize–winning love letter that gave voice to the misfits\, the rebels\, the ones who loved without permission.  Three decades later\, its fire still burns. \nIn the East Village\, a patchwork of outsiders fight to create and survive in a city that’s forgotten them. They turn struggle into art and fear into defiance. Through loss\, love\, and the noise of the city\, they find strength together in the face of adversity.  \nBased on Puccini’s masterpiece\, La Bohème\, and fueled by its electric rock score and unflinching humanity\, RENT is one of the most influential musicals of the 20th century\, reimagined this season with the bold artistry of Flat Rock Playhouse. Join the revolution. No Day But Today. \nEvent Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM
