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. 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:"No Child" at NC Stage
DESCRIPTION:No Child is a tour-de-force exploration of the New York City public school system. An insightful\, hilarious and touching master class not to be missed by anyone who is concerned about the state of our education system and how we might fix it. The play\, inspired by Sun’s own experiences as a teaching artist\, focuses on the lives of students and their struggles\, rather than the No Child Left Behind Act\, despite the title’s reference. The play utilizes humor and poignant moments to portray the students’ environment and their resilience in the face of adversity. \nRegular Adult Tickets: $24-$48 (depending on chosen seat)\nStudent Tickets: $10 (18 and under/ college and graduate students with student ID)\nWednesdays\, Thursdays\, Saturdays: 7:30pm ; Sundays: 2pm\nFirst Friday (5/1): 7:30pm ; last two Fridays (5/8 & 5/15): 2pm\nOpening Week “Choose Your Price” Nights: April 9th – May 1st

Would you like to relax\, relieve stress\, and meet new friends? This is for you. It’s yoga for your mind…like eating chocolate! All supplies included. And the best part… “There are No Mistakes.”

SUMMARY:Cristina Vane
DESCRIPTION:ALL AGES\nSTANDING ROOM ONLY \nCRISTINA VANE\nMore than a mere practitioner of her craft\, Cristina Vane has a breadth and depth of serious musical skill compiled from countless miles across all kinds of geography. On her third studio album ‘Hear My Call\,’ the pairing of a lifetime pursuit and growing treasure trove of songs makes for a record that demands to be heard. \nBased in Nashville\, Tennessee\, her sound reflects and amalgam of experiences; born at the foothills of the alps in Italy and raised between Italy\, England and France\, Cristina’s half American – half Guatemalan heritage is as unique as her sound. She unapologetically blends her rock roots with her passion for pre war blues\, old time banjo\, country and bluegrass. Since her time busking on the Venice Beach Boardwalk and working at McCabe’s guitar shop\, this deft multi instrumentalist has sharpened her fingerstyle/ slide guitar and clawhammer banjo skills and merged it with crystalline vocals\, captivating songwriting\, and an entrancing stage presence to make for a truly exciting act. Cristina has an extensive touring history and has provided direct support for: Molly Tuttle\, Bob Weir\, Jerry Douglas\, Wynonna Judd\, Sam Bush\, Nikki Lane\, Town Mountain\, Duane Betts Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band\, Arlo McKinley\, and Willi Carlisle. She has been mentioned in Rolling Stone Country and NPR\, and was featured in the Bank of America ad for Ken Burns’ “Country Music” documentary.

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\, artist Erin Keane will show us how to 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.

SUMMARY:ENCOUNTERS WITH CREATIVES - NAN DAVIS\, ORIGINAL OIL ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Meet and talk with Nan Davis as she demonstrates her distinctive style of oil painting with palette knives. \nNan’s desire is to create beautiful paintings. With a degree in Art\, but a need for a steady income\, she worked in the corporate world for 25 years\, only painting on nights and weekends as time allowed. But for the past six years\, she has been able to paint full time\, gloriously spreading paint across blank canvases in awe of turning a feeling into a vision on a flat surface. Every day\, she returns to the canvas to play in color and light. She sees the light coming through foliage\, or the mountain vistas and she is called to create. Nan searches for a way to interpret something beautiful in a way that allows others to respond from their own experiences.

SUMMARY:Freddie McClendon
DESCRIPTION:ALL AGES\nSTANDING ROOM ONLY\nFULL BAND SHOW \nFREDDIE McCLENDON\nFreddie McClendon is a singer-songwriter from Greenwood\, South Carolina. He first fell in love with music as a child living in a retirement home where his dad worked\, spending his earliest years dressing up as Elvis and performing for the residents who encouraged him to perform. After his father’s shocking murder in 2023\, McClendon turned to writing songs as a way to process his grief. \nIn 2024 he released Present Memories. In 2025 he appeared on Season 23 of American Idol\, performing his original song “You Never Loved Him\,” which moved Carrie Underwood to tears and prompted Luke Bryan to call him “the next Paul Simon.” \nMcClendon’s songwriting often blends personal history with observations about the South\, most notably in his viral single King Henry\, which challenges the “Good Ole Boys” system and generational corruption in South Carolina. His live shows have grown steadily\, selling out in numerous markets across the southeast. \nHis unreleased tracks “Drinkin’ Crimes\,” “Rambler\,” and “Lover” have already drawn millions of views ahead of their official release\, and he plans to release new music throughout 2026. In early 2026\, he will also join SUSTO on their North American tour as a supporting act.
