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:The Odd Couple - Flat Rock Playhouse - 8/28-9/19
DESCRIPTION:Pour a drink and duck for cover — domestic bliss is about to get messy. \nMeet Felix: impeccably pressed\, emotionally distressed\, and suddenly single. Meet Oscar: charmingly rumpled\, habitually late\, and blissfully allergic to coasters. When Felix moves in with his old pal Oscar after a marital meltdown\, neatness meets nonsense\, and the sparks fly. \nAshtrays overflow\, tempers flare\, and laughter fills the living room in Neil Simon’s effervescent comedy of friendship\, forgiveness\, and the fine art of driving each other crazy.  \nThe Odd Couple is a classic cocktail of chaos and charm. Proof that opposites attract… so long as they don’t share a kitchen. \nEvent Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:Film Premiere: Erased
DESCRIPTION:Asheville\, NC — On August 29\, 2026\, at 7:30pm\, Missy Bell of Mouse House Productions will premiere her debut feature film: Erased\, at the Diana Wortham Center for the Performing Arts. The tender-hearted drama stars local actors Thomas L. Townsend\, Elias Hamilton\, and Lauren H. Davis. \nWhen Missy Bell wrote the screenplay for her debut feature film\, she had no way of knowing shooting would land in the wake of Hurricane Helene.  \nCo-producers Missy and Michael Bell\, joked with the crew\, “If we can flush\, we can film!” as production dates approached for shooting the hope-core drama\, Erased. \nMichael said\, “It ended up that just one day before the deadline we’d set for ourselves\, we got non-potable water back in the pipes.” Filming took place in November and December of 2024\, and the film was completed in September 2025. \nMissy and Michael run their production company\, Mouse House Productions\, in a collaborative and cooperative manner\, putting kindness first and making sure that everyone who works on the film gets a cut of the film’s profit. The premiere event\, scheduled for August 29th at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts\, is no exception. Missy said\, “This event will serve to launch Erased into screening all over the world. We’re excited to celebrate this milestone with our community right here in Asheville.” \nThe premiere event will feature live performances from the film’s composer (Joshua Hummel) and soundtrack musicians\, a screening of the film\, remarks from the filmmakers\, a red carpet\, merch\, and a mixer with the cast and crew following the screening\, where audience members can get autographs and mingle with the actors and other creatives in person. “It’s a red carpet comeback from Helene for the entire community. I cannot wait to celebrate this film and what it means\, knowing what we’ve all overcome!” \nAbout the Film: Erased takes place over One Crazy Night\, and is the story of Evan\, a thirty-something business man working on the deal of his life. When the now 18 year old son he chose to abandon at birth appears at his door in the middle of the night\, Evan is forced to choose between the deal and the possibility of a  relationship with his son. An early access reviewer said: “[Erased is] tender\, funny\, mysterious\, and leaves the viewer with curiosities\, rounding out an excellent cinematic experience.” \nThe Asheville Premiere of Erased will take place on August 29\, 2026 at 7:30 PM (doors and red carpet at 7PM) at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets are on sale now via their website: “Erased” Film Premiere Event – Wortham Center for the Performing Arts.

SUMMARY:HAPPY LANDING w/ The Band Solstice

The group pioneers a new wave of folk music\, captivating audiences internationally with their energetic live shows and fresh sound\, blended from the roots of southern rock\, punk and folk. After debut festival appearances at Bonnaroo\, Lollapalooza\, and Summerfest\, the band’s sophomore album\, Big Sun\, comes in 2026 paired with a major headline tour of the US & Canada. \nTHE BAND SOLSTICE \nThe Band Solstice\, formed in 2019 by childhood friends\, has grown from a summer-solstice idea into a rising indie-rock force known for their energetic shows and evolving sound. Now students at The University of Tennessee\, the group channels influences from Kings of Leon\, Dawes\, Mt. Joy\, and Dr. Dog into a style all their own. Frontman Marty Gee delivers powerful\, emotive vocals\, anchored by the tight rhythm from drummer Grayson Strayder and bassist Maddox Frazier. Jacob Greene adds depth and lush keyboard textures\, while Jackson Frazier’s expressive guitar work brings soaring riffs and melodic solos that define the band’s signature feel. \nWith their debut album slated for early 2026\, The Band Solstice prepares to bring new music to new cities as they step confidently into their next chapter.
