Market St. Downtown Asheville* \nOn July 8\, 1944\, Private Booker T. Spicely boarded a bus in downtown Durham but never made it back to camp. The Black soldier\, newly stationed at a nearby Army base and unfamiliar with the South’s Jim Crow laws\, was shot twice in the chest by the bus driver after a dispute over his seat. The driver reboarded the bus and continued his route. An all-White jury later acquitted him in 28 minutes. \nAward-winning playwright and performer Mike Wiley brings Spicely\, the driver\, and a chorus of witnesses back to life in this searing solo show — excavating a story that faded from public memory in a city known for its progressive views\, visionary Black entrepreneurs\, and institutes of higher learning. \nJoin Mike Wiley for a Q&A following each performance. \nGeneral Admission Adult Tickets: $35\nStudent Tickets: $15 (18 and under/ college and graduate students with student ID)\nWednesdays\, Thursdays\, Fridays\, Saturdays: 7:30pm ; Sundays: 2pm\n“Choose Your Price” Nights: Wednesdays & Thursdays (11/4-11/5 & 11/11-11/12) URL:https://thelaurelofasheville.com/event/mike-wiley-productions-presents-changing-same/ LOCATION:YMI Cultural Center\, 39 S.

Through a series of guided exercises\, demonstrations\, and hands-on experimentation\, you’ll develop original shapes\, marks\, and visual language that feel authentic to your own work. Together\, we’ll explore: \n– Creating strong compositions without relying on rigid formulas \n– Building layers that add depth\, history\, and interest \n– Using bold color\, graphic elements\, and contrast with intention \n– Developing confident mark-making that energizes a painting \n– Knowing when to push a piece further—and when to stop \nThis workshop is about learning how to make stronger decisions\, trust your instincts\, and discover new possibilities within your own creative process. \nOne of the greatest advantages of working in person is the opportunity to create alongside other artists. You’ll gain fresh perspectives\, learn through shared experiences\, and leave with new ideas that often emerge only when artists gather together. \n→ Artists can expect to complete one to two mid-sized abstract paintings incorporating texture\, collage\, and layered acrylic techniques. Each day begins with focused warm-up exercises and demonstrations that provide practical tools you can continue using long after the workshop ends. \nThis workshop is open to makers of all levels with some experience working in acrylics. If you would like to create bold\, contemporary abstract art that tells your story\, jump in and join us for Abstract Painting Unleashed!

This guided experience invites participants to slow down\, settle the nervous system\, and explore the Museum as a place of sanctuary\, spaciousness\, and renewal. \nThe session will begin with a brief seated meditation\, followed by a walking meditation through selected exhibits. Along the way\, participants will pause with gentle mindfulness prompts designed to support personal reflection\, embodied awareness\, and a deeper connection with the artwork. Rather than offering art historical interpretation\, the experience encourages each participant to notice what arises within them through presence\, stillness\, and mindful seeing. The group will honor noble silence throughout much of the session with occasional opportunities for brief reflection and sharing. No previous meditation experience is needed. \nJoin Joshua on 8/22\, 10/3\, 11/7\, and 12/5. \nJoshua Canter is a mindfulness meditation teacher and the founder of True Nature Travels and Education\, an Asheville-based organization that has offered transformative retreats and educational experiences around the world for more than 20 years. He holds a master’s degree in Contemplative Psychology and is passionate about making mindfulness accessible\, grounded\, and relevant to everyday life.
