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.

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:Ordinary Elephant | Sundays by the River
DESCRIPTION:Mesmering folk duo Ordinary Elephant play an intimate Sunday afternoon concert by the French Broad River in Olivette. BYOB\, BYOC (chair) – Kids are free! \nFolk duo Ordinary Elephant has spent the better part of the last decade on a never-ending tour thats earned married couple Crystal and Pete Damore widespread critical acclaim and made fans of luminaries like Tom Paxton and Mary Gauthier. In 2017\, the pair took home the International Folk Music Award for Artist of the Year on the strength of their breakout album\, Before I Go\, and two years later\, they returned with the similarly lauded Honest\, which the Associated Press hailed as “one of the best Americana albums of the year.” \nThe band’s new stripped-down\, self-titled collection is the purest distillation of their sound yet\, showcasing the arresting power of the couple’s gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork. The songs are timeless\, rooted in rich\, character-driven storytelling\, and the performances are similarly transportive\, fueled by delicately intertwined banjo\, guitar\, and octave mandolin. Though the songs were born out of a period of deep uncertainty\, the record itself is a work of profound self-assurance\, one delivered by a duo whose personal and professional lives embody the limitless possibility of honest\, organic collaboration. Press play on Ordinary Elephant and you’ll hear more than just a husband and wife; you’ll hear the sound of sincerity and commitment\, of patience and gratitude\, of learning to let go of expectation and revel in the simple beauty of the moment.

SUMMARY:PATIO SHOW: Abe Reid
DESCRIPTION:Abe Reid is a North Carolina musician and one of the modern keepers of the Piedmont roots music tradition. Born in Forsyth County and raised in Statesville\, Reid began playing guitar at a young age\, developing a deep connection to the region’s historic finger-style traditions.\nHis musical education came directly from the source. As a young player\, he spent time with legendary Carolina musicians Guitar Gabriel and Cootie Stark\, learning not only guitar technique but also the storytelling and spirit behind traditional American music. \nIn the 1990s\, Reid immersed himself in the life of a working musician\, busking on the streets of New Orleans before returning to North Carolina’s music scene. He later helped form the roots band The Blue Rags\, known for energetic performances and traditional sounds. \nReid gained international recognition when he won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis—becoming the first solo performer to win the competition. \nToday\, Abe Reid continues to perform\, teach\, and share the music of the American South\, passing on knowledge learned from older musicians and decades on the road.

SUMMARY:Double Feature Puppet Show: Phantasmagoria and Unraveling Puppet Pants & Shadow Girls Cult
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-night double feature of thoughtful\, mind-bending\, and whimsical marionettes and shadow puppetry: PHANTASMAGORIA\, by one-man marionette-building extraordinaire Puppet Pants\, and UNRAVELING\, by Henson Grant-awarded duo Shadow Girls Cult. \n‍ \nClowns\, monsters\, and mysteries amuse and interact with the audience in PHANTASMAGORIA. This marionette variety show features whimsical acts ranging from endearing to odd\, set to an original score. Specializing in marionette making and manipulation\, Puppet Pants delivers a wordless performance\, fading into the background while in full view of the audience. Somewhat circusy\, a little edgy\, and with a closing message about believing in yourself\, PHANTASMAGORIA will definitely intrigue and delight you! \n‍ \nInfused with elements of sci-fi\, film noir\, classic horror\, and surrealism\, UNRAVELING explores the inexplicable moments in time when we\, and the world around us\, seem to come apart. A series of shadow vignettes takes the audience on a journey through yearning\, curiosity\, and wonder\, moving through fractured identity and grief\, and ending with a dream sequence. Shadow Girls Cult uses a mind-bending blend of light techniques\, old-school overhead projectors\, shadow masks\, and hundreds of intricate and layered shadow puppets to create an animated film-like experience. UNRAVELING touches on the echo of a question: is the world (and by extension\, are we) destined to always\, always come apart at the seams? \n‍ \nRecommended for adults and teens ages 16+\nShadow puppetry and marionettes\nLength: 2 hours with an intermission\nLanguage: English\nFrom Seattle and Atlanta! \n‍ \nUNRAVELING\nCreated and Performed by Shadow Girls Cult\nMusic by Kin of The Moon\, Bad Angels\, Orion\nSound design by Zane Exactly\n“Birdwatching” — based on poem by Franny Choi\n“They’re Only Dreams” — text by Amy Escobar & voiceover by Cass Bray\nPuppets designed and built by Shadow Girls Cult\nOther sound design by Shadow Girls Cult \nPHANTASMAGORIA\nCreated and Performed by Puppet Pants\nMusic by Puppet Pants \nCreation of this production was supported in part by The Henson Foundation. \n‍\nAbout the Artists \nFounded in Atlanta in 2024\, Puppet Pants is committed to providing top quality marionette entertainment for audiences of all ages\, and has performed at the New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival\, Puppeteers of America 2024 South East Festival\, DragonCON\, Asheville and Atlanta Fringe\, as well as music festivals\, private events and independent tours of the United States. \nShadow Girls Cult is an award-winning queer shadow puppetry and projections duo based out of Seattle\, WA. Using overhead projectors\, adapted camera irises\, 2-D shadow puppets\, human silhouettes\, and other analog technology\, they create puppet magic for audiences all over the U.S. Their full-length shadow show UNRAVELING was awarded the 2025 Henson Foundation Workshop Grant & 4Culture’s 2025 Project Grant\, and was recently voted “Most Surprising Performance” & “Fan Favorite” at the 2025 Asheville Fringe Festival. In 2025\, SGC also made their debut at The Center for Puppetry Arts\, and were teaching artists in residency at Kennesaw State University in Atlanta\, and the Bright Ideas Project in Vermont. \n‍

SUMMARY:Sacred Activism - Trusting the Dark–Finding Faith When the Path is Unclear
DESCRIPTION:Learn to find faith when the path is unclear and navigate the unknown as a fertile ground for new beginnings \nHow can our spiritual work serve the transformation of the world we live in? How do we navigate grief\, anger\, and hope in times of division? \nJoin Beth Hedquist and Cibele Salviatto for a new ongoing series exploring the intersection between spirituality and courageous action grounded in love. Together\, we will inquire into how our inner patterns—both conscious and unconscious—mirror and sustain the collective systems we seek to change. \nWhat We Will Explore \nWe will weave together the wisdom of the Pathwork Lectures\, sacred texts\, body work\, and personal sharing to cultivate: \n• Systemic Awareness: Seeing how we personally and collectively “collude with the system.” \n• Emotional Resilience: Learning to stay engaged without burning out. \n• Love-Based Action: Tools to act from clarity rather than reactivity or despair. \n• Community: A supportive space of like-minded souls. \nThis Month: Trusting the Dark \nIn this session\, we embrace the mystery of the unknown. We will explore how to find faith when the path ahead is unclear\, and the old maps no longer serve us. \nTogether\, we will practice navigating the darkness not as a void\, but as the fertile soil of creation—learning to trust the cycles of rest and gestation that are essential to true transformation.

SUMMARY:Boogarins w/ DOOM GONG + Silver Doors
DESCRIPTION:ALL AGES\nSTANDING ROOM ONLY \nBOOGARINS\nFormed in 2013 by Fernando de Almeida Filho (vocals and guitar)\, Benke Ferraz (guitar)\, Raphael Vaz (bass and keyboards)\, and Ynaiã Benthroldo (drums)\, Brazilian psychedelic rock band Boogarins announces a commemorative tour celebrating the ten-year anniversary of “Manual\, ou Guia Livre de Dissolução dos Sonhos.” With concerts in Brazil and the United States\, the band also announces future steps in this tour\, bringing the special guest Adrian Quesada of Black Pumas for the Bandshell Beach Club Festival at the Miami Beach Bandshell\, who is also collaborating with Boogarins on a new single set for release early this year. \nNominated for a Latin Grammy Award in the category of Best Portuguese-Language Rock Album\, “Manual\, ou Guia Livre de Dissolução dos Sonhos” is the band’s second studio album\, released in October 30th of 2015\, by Other Music/Fat Possum. The record confirmed to both audiences and critics that Boogarins were more than just a promise\, consolidating them as one of the most important Brazilian rock bands of their generation. \nRecorded in the coastal city of Gijón\, in northern Spain\, “Manual” was made during a one-month break in the middle of the band’s first international tour—which included over 100 shows across cities in the United States\, Europe\, and Brazil. Unlike their debut album\, recorded at home with a more lo-fi aesthetic\, the songs on “Manual” were born and developed on the road\, during live performances\, and were captured in a fully analog studio. The recording process preserved the energy of four young musicians living the dream of traveling the world and making a living from music\, while simultaneously developing a new language for Brazilian psychedelic rock. \nDOOM GONG\nFormed in 2022 in Louisville\, Kentucky by 7 music school nerds\, DOOM GONG has made a name for themselves internationally with their own home-baked genre\, Denim Psych – a hodgepodge of psychedelic rock\, jazz fusion\, prog rock\, bedroom pop\, lo-fi\, contemporary classical music\, as well as blood\, sweat\, and a lot of denim. \nSILVER DOORS\nFormed in 2022\, The Silver Doors is a psychedelic rock band from Asheville\, NC. Channeling through the lens of the Appalachian mountains\, they tap into shoegaze\, blues\, psych\, and krautrock\, all with electric violin as the center point. They released their debut album in 2024 that was recorded\, mixed\, and mastered at Drop of Sun Studios with Alex Farrar and Lawson Alderson. Since then\, they have shared the stage with regional and touring bands\, hit the road with their own tour up the east coast\, and begun honing a new collection of sounds and songs all the while.

SUMMARY:Asheville Rockestra: Celebrating 1976
DESCRIPTION:It’s been 50 years since 1976\, a year of music that celebrated huge records from Stevie Wonder\, David Bowie\, Queen\, ABBA\, The Ramones\, Heart\, and so many more. Each year for their annual benefit concert\, Sound Effects\, Asheville Music School selects a musical focus. For 2026\, students and teachers alike have spent months studying and rehearsing some of the greatest hits of 1976. They’ve created a huge band – the Asheville Rockestra\, made up of dozens of students\, and a few teachers\, to celebrate (and perform live) the 50th anniversary of that classic year.
