DESCRIPTION:From 1882 to 1943\, in 31 states and six countries\, Raphael Guastavino and his son created more than 600 unique tile domes and vaultings that met his criteria of health\, safety\, and beauty.

SUMMARY:sov·er·eign·ty: Expressions in Sovereignty of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians
DESCRIPTION:On view from March 15\, 2024 through February 28\, 2025\, ‘sov·er·eign·ty: Expressions in Sovereignty of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ illuminates the complexities of tribal sovereignty and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ continuing legacy of resilience.\nFeaturing objects sourced from the Museum of the Cherokee People’s own collections\, ‘sov·er·eign·ty’ is designed to educate visitors about the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ autonomy\, its relationship with the federal government\, and how the tribe has defined its own relationship with its land\, people\, and culture. \nThe Museum of the Cherokee People is the tribal museum of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI)\, one of three federally recognized Cherokee tribes alongside Cherokee Nation and the United Keetowah Band of Cherokee Indians. The EBCI is a self-governed\, autonomous nation with over 16\,000 enrolled members living around the world—it has its own laws\, elections\, and government—and is the only federally recognized Tribal Nation within the boundaries of what is currently known as North Carolina.  \nIn this exhibition\, visitors will learn how\, through adaptability and innovation\, the EBCI has combated attempts to eradicate\, remove\, and assimilate its people and remained on the Qualla Boundary—57\,000 acres (0.00067661% of the original Cherokee territory) which is owned by the EBCI and held in trust by the federal government.

SUMMARY:Poetry 101: The Curious Practice of Paying Attention
DESCRIPTION:Poetry is the written act of paying attention. Paying attention to words\, rhythm\, and writing but most importantly the worlds that inspire you to write. Namely\, your world.  \n“Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” -Charles Simic \nHave you ever swooned at the thought of exploring your full expression\, only to shuffle around the house more determined to rearrange mothballs than get something on paper?  \nPoetry is undoubtedly a practice\, but it doesn’t have to be an intimidating sport for Creative Gods alone. The only “ask” is to take note and notice of your life.  \nWe’ll help develop the work itself\, together. \nThis full-bodied beginner’s poetry class will help you shift from “Oof\, I could never…” into “Wait\, where’s my journal?!” by tuning into your world: to the color palette of grass\, to coffee-shop conversation\, to the twitch in your left elbow. If you want language for the volcanic prayers of your soul or to describe your partner’s voice whispering “I love you” at 4am\, we’ll get there. This class weaves the elements of poetry\, forms of poetry\, guided discussion with peers\, and the works of prolific poets all into a multidisciplinary play space. Plus\, oodles (oodles!) of writing time to build personal confidence and craft. This class immerses itself in artful experimentation across mediums\, paired with a toolkit of technical writing skills. It’s the ultimate permission slip to be a beginner.  \n“Poetry is an echo\, asking a shadow to dance.” -Carl Sandburg \n5 wk series. 6/5-7/10 (7/3 cancelled)\, Wednesdays from 6:30-8:30p

SUMMARY:Ride the Parkway Fundraiser for Veterans Museum
DESCRIPTION:Imagine bicycling the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Whew! U.S. military veterans John Buford and Rich Clarke\, members of the Veterans History Museum’s Advisory Committee\, will pedal 469 miles to support the Veterans History Museum of the Carolinas. Cyclists will share progress daily through their social media posts.\nWith your help via donations (small\, medium or large)\, together we will raise money to support the museum’s mission to honor veterans\, educate citizens\, and preserve our history. From June 25 to July 1\, Buford and Clarke will bike the parkway from the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to Cherokee\, North Carolina.\nWe invite you to pledge 10 cents or more per mile traveled. The mileage of the team member who rides the farthest will be used to calculate your donation at the end of the ride.\nOption 1: You choose to donate any amount of 10 cents or more per mile cycled. Examples: If you pledge $1.00 per mile you will receive a request to send your tax-deductible check to the museum for $469. Twenty-five cents per mile would equal $117.25\, etc. You decide—the sky’s the limit!\nOption 2: You may pledge a fixed amount not based on mileage.\nTo make a pledge\, email mjrobertson@comporium.net and state your:\n·      Full name\n·      Amount pledged:\n–	Per mile\, or\n–	Fixed amount\nYou will receive a request for payment after July 1.\nWe thank you for your generosity and your support of veterans!

This comedy show is audience participation and audience relations. Each comedian chooses their perfect match for our lucky single and will try to win over the audience and the contestant for a chance at love. But this show isn’t just for the sad single people – Jenny and Shahak answer your couples questions\, dating queries\, and NOTHING is off the table. Combing stand up comedy\, audience crowd work\, and love advice – this is the best and funniest show you’ll see all summer. \nages 18+\nDoors at 8pm\, show at 8:30pm \nTickets $15
