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:Songwriters Roller Derby Showcase
DESCRIPTION:SEATED SHOW \nSONGWRITERS ROLLER DERBY SHOWCASE\nThe Songwriters Roller Derby Showcase\, presented by the Asheville Songwriters Association\, is a quarterly music show with no roller skates included – just four performers “rollin’ out the songs\, elbows-n-all.” Curated and hosted by Thomas Kozak and Jodi John Pippin\, each “Derby Night” at The Grey Eagle will showcase the craft of songwriting in an intimate and welcoming setting. As an added element of the Songwriters Roller Derby Showcase\, a surprise guest will join the performers on stage for interactive\, on-the-spot commentary ~ a “look under the hood of the songwriting process” of sorts. The audience will have a chance to share comments as well\, if they are inspired to do so. For most of the evening\, the songwriters will perform finished songs\, but they will also each share a brand new song that has not yet been performed on stage. Come support the songwriters as they show their vulnerable side and help nurture the art and craft of songwriting in the region and beyond.\nThe performers for this first Derby will be: \nOld Sap:\nOld Sap. Poet from Chicago\, rambled out to Montana\, cut a banjo from a tamarack\, strings across the country\, foot like a freight train\, voice rushing down over lush Appalachia\, sings a thrush tune through the rush hour and into your long-forgotten prairie dreams. Folk. Folk Rock. Americana. \nSilk and Stone:\nSilk and Stone is an Ohio-grown duo writing honest songs about life\nand the emotions that come with it. With acoustic guitar\, close\nharmonies\, and a shared love of storytelling\, their music is rooted in\nconnection and authenticity.\nAt the heart of their songwriting is love\, in all its forms. From\nfalling in love and heartbreak to friendship\, family\, and\nself-discovery\, they believe love is the thread that ties together the\nhuman experience. Their songs explore the moments that shape us. \nLillie Syracuse:\nPulling from a well of folk-rock\, soul\, and jazz inspiration\, Lillie Syracuse has formed a genre bending artistry and writing style deeply and uniquely her own. With a voice often likened to Norah Jones\, Bonnie Raitt and Brandi Carlile\, Lillie sings to the fullness that is being alive with a razor sharp focus on the heart of each person in the room with her. Lillie has just released her self produced sophomore album Big New Heart and lives in Blue Ridge mountains of Asheville\, NC. \nRyan Furstenberg:\nRyan Furstenberg has been an active member of the Asheville music scene for almost two decades. His main project The Moon and You\, a chamber-folk duo with his wife Melissa Hyman\, has spent the last decade touring the US and Europe. Ryan also performs his songs under his own name and with his roots rock group Phantom Clutch.\nIn addition to his role as a bandleader\, Ryan enjoys collaborating and performing as a sideman with the long-time Asheville groups Tina and Her Pony\, the Dulci Ellenberger band\, and The Dark Turn of Mind band\, a spooky October collaboration between The Moon and You and local songwriter Hannah Kaminer.

SUMMARY:WHIMSICAL ANIMALS IN GOUAGHE (OPAQUE WATERCOLOR\, BEGINNER FRIENDLY!)
DESCRIPTION:with Miriam Hughes\, AUG 27 (1PM-4PM) 2026\n$145.00\nThursday Aug 27th – 1pm to 4pm – $145 – All materials included! \nDiscover how Gouache differs from traditional transparent watercolor\, and what makes it such a vibrant and illustrative medium! \nIn this workshop\, students will choose a favorite animal\, beloved pet\, or even something as small as an insect as the inspiration for a whimsical gouache painting! Using bold colors\, playful patterns\, and expressive textures\, each student will transform their subject into a unique work of art full of personality and charm.  \nThe focus here is on creativity rather than realism\, encouraging artists to experiment\, exaggerate features\, and have fun as they explore the versatility of gouache. The unique qualities of gouache are especially well-suited for fun and joyful illustrations\, expressive animal portraits\, and decorative designs.  The rich matte surface enhances bright colors and exciting details without the glare of a glossy finish. \nThis class seats 10 students. Cancellation and transfer policies can be found at the link in the navigation bar.

SUMMARY:Mapping Home
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Holden Gallery’s exhibition Mapping Home will be on view at Warren Wilson College from August 27th to October 3rd\, 2026. \nThe notion of home takes on a whole new meaning after a climate disaster like Hurricane Helene.  Home is a place of reflection\, home is near and far\, home provides shelter\, home is lost and found\, and home is created when a community comes together. In this exhibition we will collectively map our idea of home alongside the WWC community\, our Swannanoa Valley neighbors\, and WWC Alumni. Featured artists include Galen Bernard\, Carolina Corona\, Annie Hall\, Sonia Norris\, Kaye Savage\, Tissica Schoch\, Jess Self\,  Carson Whitmore\, Rebecca Williams and a community installation organized by Melanie Wilder.  \nWe are inviting community participation for this exhibition through fiber workshops\, through art responses and through fundraising for our local nonprofit organization Swannanoa Communities Together\, which provides rent assistance programs for residents of Swannanoa.   \nThe opening reception for the exhibition is on Thursday\, August 27th from 4:30-6:00 PM.  The Elizabeth Holden Gallery is open M-F\, 10-4pm and most Saturdays 1-4pm. \nThis exhibition is in partnership with the Fiber Arts Crew\, Swannanoa Artist Collective\, Climate Action Now\, WWC Art & Craft Department and is supported by the Windgate Foundation and Educating for Character Initiative Grant from the Lily Foundation.

SUMMARY:The Odd Couple - Flat Rock Playhouse - 8/28-9/19
DESCRIPTION:Pour a drink and duck for cover — domestic bliss is about to get messy. \nMeet Felix: impeccably pressed\, emotionally distressed\, and suddenly single. Meet Oscar: charmingly rumpled\, habitually late\, and blissfully allergic to coasters. When Felix moves in with his old pal Oscar after a marital meltdown\, neatness meets nonsense\, and the sparks fly. \nAshtrays overflow\, tempers flare\, and laughter fills the living room in Neil Simon’s effervescent comedy of friendship\, forgiveness\, and the fine art of driving each other crazy.  \nThe Odd Couple is a classic cocktail of chaos and charm. Proof that opposites attract… so long as they don’t share a kitchen. \nEvent Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM
