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 White Buffalo
DESCRIPTION:THE WHITE BUFFALO \nFor The White Buffalo – aka singer / songwriter / guitarist Jake Smith\, Oregon-born\, Southern California-raised – it was time to take the less travelled path; to assemble notions for studio album Number 8\, the follow-up to ‘On The Widow’s Walk’ (Snakefarm\, 2020)\, and embark on a voyage of discovery. \nOut with the old\, the organic\, the expected\, the tried; in with the new – new producer\, new studio\, new location\, no distractions\, no looking back… \nEnter ‘Year Of The Dark Horse’… \n“You think we’re a country band? A folk band? Americana? Rock? What the fuck are you gonna say now?!” laughs Jake. “With this album\, I wanted something outside of what I’ve ever done. I wanted to open up. Do something dangerous. I’m hard to put into a singular genre as it is\, but now I really wanted to take away any kind of preconception or pigeon-holing. \n“And don’t ask me\, cos I don’t know what it is! It’s a genre-bending thing – there’s elements and influences from ELO\, Daniel Lanois\, Tom Waits\, The Boss\, circus\, pirate music\, yacht rock\, and I’m driving and pushing some of these numbers in a way I’ve never done before. \n“At the top of the pandemic\, I put the acoustic guitar on its stand\, got a synthesizer and began writing on it\, not really knowing how to play keys\, just exploring the different sounds and landscapes. In the not knowing\, it allowed me to expand my vocal melodies and compositions in ways the guitar had possibly limited.” \nWhen Jake\, flanked by regular touring / recording compadres\, bassist / keyboard player / guitarist Christopher Hoffee and drummer Matt Lynott\, crossed the threshold of East Nashville’s Neon Cross Studio\, a converted Southern Baptist Church\, he wasn’t chapter an’ verse prepared\, as usual. \nThe time before recording had been a crazy one\, so there were a bunch of loose ends to be tied (“I’m a perpetual procrastinator” – Jake)\, plus only three of the 12 songs had been completely written. Jake had maps in his head\, but most were mere bones of compositions with only a few key lyrics penned. This allowed producer / studio owner Jay Joyce – plus trusted assistant\, Jason Hall – the wiggle room to really get involved\, to guide and explore new frontiers … \nHe’s a Grammy Award-winning Producer of the Year (2018)\, has 4 CMA and 5 ACM Awards\, and when it comes to making music\, the Ohio native is never one to take the obvious route – perfect for an album featuring a dozen musical vignettes\, individual yet constant in flow; an album loosely based around the shifting of the seasons and the shifting of a relationship; an album showing off the complete scope of Jake’s song-writing craft\, from the stripped back to the fully loaded…

They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase and a long list of accomplishments including 2 RIAA Gold Certified albums\, over 1.5 million concert tickets sold\, over 1 billion streams on Pandora\, and over 2 million albums sold worldwide.

SUMMARY:COPTIC BOUND JOURNAL WORKSHOP WITH ERIN KEANE
DESCRIPTION:Handmade journals are a joy to use for anything and everything\, any day\, every day. Coptic binding is a historical method of constructing a book by sewing folded sections of paper and attaching them to hard covers. Bookbinders use this binding for its beauty with an exposed spine\, functionality with pages that open flat\, and historical roots to perpetuate time-honored traditions.  \nIn this class\, we will create a beautiful blank journal using Paired Needle Coptic Stitch\, which is a specific form of Coptic binding that uses multiple needles and multiple threads. Your journal will have a lovely chain stitch at every sewing station\, and it will be structurally strong and highly functional.  \nAll materials and tools will be provided\, so you can arrive empty handed and relax into the experience. If you already have personal bookbinding tools and find them most comfortable\, please feel welcome to bring along. For the book covers\, I’ll have a variety of decorative papers to choose from including Nepalese Lokta\, Indian cotton\, Japanese Chiyogami. If you prefer your own decorative paper\, please feel welcome to bring along (for space and efficiency\, please pre-cut the paper to 8.5” x 11”).  \nAll skill levels welcome. I look forward to working together and reveling in the stitching goodness!

SUMMARY:40th Annual Outdoor Rosen Sculpture Walk
DESCRIPTION:Now in its 40th year at Appalachian State University\, the Martin and Doris Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition and Exhibition celebrates An Appalachian Summer Festival tradition! The Rosen Sculpture Walk will kick off at 10am at the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts. After a brief welcome\, juror Sam Spiczka will lead guests on a guided tour of the 10 sculptures installed along Rivers Street. The group will then return to the Schaefer Center for the announcement of this year’s award winners\, a complimentary lunch\, and time to chat with friends about your favorite pieces. \nGuests are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the walking and standing portion lasts approximately 45–60 minutes. Water stations will be available along the route. \nIf weather prevents an outdoor tour\, the sculpture walk will be presented indoors at the Schaefer Center with a slide presentation.
