SUMMARY:Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld
DESCRIPTION:Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center presents Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld\, an exhibition celebrating the works of mother-daughter artists\, Lore Kadden Lindenfeld and Naomi Lindenfeld. Lore\, who attended and graduated from Black Mountain College in the 1940s\, made a career as a textile designer and educator while continuing to create weavings\, fiber collages\, artist books\, and drawings. Her daughter Naomi creates colored clay objects that are tactile\, useful\, and visually complex. In the exhibition\, the mesmerizing striations of color in Naomi Lindenfeld’s pottery are placed in dynamic conversation with her mother’s innovative textiles\, mixed media collages\, and drawings.  \nFrom Naomi Lindenfeld—  \nI grew up with my mother’s loom in our family’s living room. Not many years later I ended up with clay carving tools and a rolling pin in my own ceramics studio. The pairings of work in this show exemplify the influences of my mother’s work on me and have served as an opportunity to both grow creatively and to honor my mother and her life’s work. \nI grew up hearing riveting stories of Black Mountain College\, its avant-garde\, experimental environment and brilliant\, unique personalities. As well\, I was exposed to many artists and craftspeople during my childhood and took my first pottery class with a friend of my mother’s. I responded to the immediacy of clay more than what appeared to be the tedium of threading warps on a loom. While working on a degree in ceramics from Boston University’s Program in Artisanry\, I discovered the Japanese technique\, Nerikomi\, of layering colored clays to create patterns. I have been captivated by exploring many ways of working with colored clay ever since. I have also come to realize that my method of working with clay – the sense of movement\, abstract graphic quality\, nature-themed imagery and vivid color – echoes my mother’s textiles. In designing work for this show\, I was first more drawn to my mother’s fiber collage work than her weavings\, as a closer match for my own techniques and sensibilities. I later saw that the way I carve into the layers in two directions appears as woven fabric. \nIt was both fascinating and challenging to interpret a two-dimensional medium within a three-dimensional realm; to not just reproduce my mother’s ideas and imagery but to draw inspiration and design the pieces as my own. My hope is that my ceramics\, while paying homage to my mother\, stand on their own just as her fiber works do. \n___ \nARTISTS \nLore Kadden Lindenfeld (1921 – 2010) emigrated with her family from Germany to the U.S. in 1938. After settling in a suburb of Boston\, Lore worked to help support her family\, earning fourteen dollars per week as a seamstress and sales clerk. She was the primary breadwinner for the family. She had previously studied fashion design in Germany and worked as a seamstress doing alterations and in various other jobs.  \nAfter enrolling in adult education classes at Harvard\, she received a scholarship to study at Black Mountain College in 1945. She remained at BMC until she graduated in 1948. Lore studied textile design with Anni Albers\, Trude Guermonprez\, and Franziska Mayer as well as taking classes with mathematician Max Dehn\, artist Josef Albers\, and writer M.C. Richards.. Her training at BMC was integral to her development as a textile designer and her work in industrial textile production.  \nInspired by the Alberses and the Bauhaus tradition\, she worked as a textile designer for the New York fashion industry\, followed by a career as a weaver\, fiber collage artist\, and as a weaving and art history teacher on the college level.   \nNaomi Lindenfeld has developed a line of colored clay works\, intended for daily use as well as for gatherings and celebrations. Flowing movement is the main feeling that Naomi hopes to convey in her work. Her inspiration is drawn from her love of dance\, patterns in the natural world that result from the movement of water and wind on materials like rock\, wood\, and shells. The colored clay technique allows one to work with colors while making a piece. Naomi loves to experiment with different color combinations to see how colors blend and contrast to create different moods.  \nShe took her first pottery class at the age of 12\, continuing to work in clay in high school\, and finally earning a degree in ceramics from Boston University’s Program in Artisanry. Naomi has had the chance to share her enthusiasm of colored clay by teaching workshops at many craft institutes around New England\, and since the fall of 1998\, she has been the ceramics teacher at The Putney School. While being one of the founding members of the Brattleboro Clayworks\, a potter’s collective\, she now has her own home studio in West Brattleboro.  \n___ \nRECEPTION AND TALK \nJoin us for the opening reception for Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld hosted at BMCM+AC on Friday\, January 30\, 2025 from 5:30–8pm. \nOn Saturday\, January 31\, 2025 at 11am\, Naomi Lindenfeld will give a “Perspectives” talk about Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld and the artistic conversations between works in the exhibition. \nBoth events take place at Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street\, Asheville\, NC}. Free and Open to All.

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:AyurPrana Listening Room Presents: Experimental Meditation Club with Kelly Kelbel and Tony Rolando
DESCRIPTION:Make Noise + APLR Present: Experimental Meditation Club with Kelly Kelbel and Tony Rolando \nTuesday\, March 3rd\, 2026 \nAyurPrana Listening Room – 312 Haywood Rd\, Asheville\, NC 28806 \nDoors 7:00 PM || Event 7:30 PM \nExperimental Meditation Club with Kelly Kelbel and Tony Rolando \nTuesdays in September\, we’ll convene as the Experimental Meditation Club. \nWe’ll provide partially guided meditations with sonic accompaniment. Think breaths to let go of tension\, sonic ambiance\, a bit of grief work\, heavy drones\, and psychedelic introspection (without any drugs). \nThe event begins at 7:30 sharp\, so please be prompt to avoid disruption. \nYou are invited to all four sessions\, but don’t have to come to all of them. The first one will provide some more context for meditation\, but if you can’t make it\, still come to what you can\, and you’ll figure it out along the way. The best way to meditate is just to do it. That’s it! \nWhile everyone is welcome\, this will be tailored to people who: \n*are new to meditation & may be skeptical or rekindling a practice \n*like the company of sonic vibrations \n*are open to trying this experiment & okay with it being messy \n*want to test their own rigidity and capacity for expansion \n*like the idea of democratizing meditation \nHere’s a general idea of what will happen: \nEach night will include some context\, a guided meditation around the theme\, a short conversation (no one is required to talk\, so introverts don’t run away\, please)\, and a longer meditation using only sound. \nKelly Kelbel \nKelly Kelbel meditates every morning in bed\, mostly using the Happier App. She started meditating shortly after she started chemotherapy out of desperation to find relief from her fear. It worked! Chemo Sessions is a project she created to offer support to folks going through treatment through a letter\, music\, tips from pals\, and guided meditations. She is also a writer and co-owns a synthesizer company\, Make Noise\, in West Asheville. Previously\, she served as a legal advocate for survivors of sexual violence in Chicago and youth being tried as adults in New York City. She was a founding teacher of the School for Democracy and Leadership in Brooklyn\, and directed the Rise Project at Warren Wilson College. \nwww.kellykelbel.com \nTony Rolando \nTony Rolando meditates irregularly\, but notices a benefit every time he does a sit. He often uses the quiet. He is a self-taught electronic musical instrument designer who got started by obsessively reading Amateur Radio Relay League books at the public library\, building electronics for artists\, such as the light controlled remixer for Simon Lee’s “Bus Obscura” which debuted at the Whitney Biennial\, working for Moog Music\, and always playing music. Tony has recently released music with Important Records and the Asheville based Ceremony of Seasons. He is the founder\, lead designer\, and co-owner of Make Noise. \nhttps://tonyrolando.bandcamp.com/ \nwww.makenoisemusic.com

SUMMARY:The Fantastic Ekphrastic Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Four Week Class — Wednesdays\, March 4-25\, 6-8 p.m.
ONLINE delivered via ZOOM
Facilitated by Alli Marshall (I&A Certified)\nSliding Scale Registration | $160 / $200 / $240 \nEkphrastic art is work made in response to another piece of artwork. It can be a poem jump-started by a painting\, a song inspired by a sculpture or — to paraphrase a cliche — a dance about architecture. In this class\, we’ll focus on flash fiction\, flash essay\, and prose poetry as our mediums of expression.

 \nWe’ll begin with a discussion of ekphrastic art and examples of it from our own bodies of work (it’s likely we’ve all made ekphrastic art\, even if unintentionally). We’ll also talk about ekphrastic art as a means of collaboration with a knowing or unknowing fellow artist. And we’ll work on outlining and/or writing flash fiction pieces in response to several artistic works of various mediums.

 \nFrom there\, we’ll move on to creating short pieces that build off our ekphrastic explorations. Through in-class writing prompts\, group writing exercises\, and motivating assignments\, we’ll develop our ekphrastic works into completed pieces.

SUMMARY:MatchStrike Youth Arts Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Ten years ago\, the MatchStrike Youth Arts Showcase brought together dozens of young artists to showcase local talent in a hybrid gallery-concert style event. Many of the artists featured then have gone on to build successful careers for themselves in the arts.\nOn Wednesday\, March 4th\, MatchStrike will\, for the first time since 2016\, once again showcase 20 local young artists.  The event will feature spoken word poets\, indie singer/songwriters\, studio artists\, filmmakers\, and photographers from the Asheville area.\n“I can’t believe it’s been a decade since MatchStrike and that first showcase brought an unmatched talent into one space\,” said Heidi Freeman\, a teacher at Asheville High School who helped organize the original event. “What made that group great was the way they collaborated.  The young artists in Asheville today are just as talented and events like this help them find an audience and a space to create together.”\nAt 6:30 p.m.\, doors will open with a gallery of art exhibits from six student artists. At 7:00\, the event will transition into a concert that will range from spoken word poetry to alternative rock music — and artists from different groups and genres will collaborate for performances within the show.\n“I’ve been playing guitar since I was 11 and singing since I was little\,” said Harper Klapheke\, one of the featured artists. “I hope to continue to play music in the future…and  would really love to be able to share my music and perform.”\nAlong with showcasing their talents at the event\, MatchStrike hopes to help artists create an audience for their works and establish themselves as professionals.\nArtists who participate in the event will each be setting a project goal. Tickets must be reserved but are free; instead of an admission price\, we are asking audience members to donate directly to artists toward this project goal.\n“I’m currently writing and recording my debut album\, which will be your go-to for nighttime drives and melancholy moods\,” said self-taught guitarist Paul Danko. “My project goal is to complete my album in my home studio.”\nArtists donation links will be available and some will be selling art at the event.\nDoors open at 6:30 on Wednesday\, March 4th and performances begin at 7:00 in the Arts Theater at Asheville High School.  Theater space is limited and tickets should be reserved at https://ashevillehstheatre.ludus.com/200520374.

SUMMARY:The Crowded Table – Windows Down Tour - Live at One Stop 3/5
DESCRIPTION:The Crowded Table is a Portland\, Maine based band blending the energy of jam improvisation with the soul and song craft of classic roots-rock. Known for their dynamic live shows and genre-blending sound—where rock\, blues\, jam\, and folk collide—the band creates performances that are spontaneous\, high-energy\, and never the same twice. Their latest EP\, “Libations”\, showcases their melodic depth\, locked-in grooves\, and improvisational edge\, solidifying their reputation as one of Portland’s most exciting rising acts. There’s always a seat at The Crowded Table.
