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.

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:Emerson Woolf & the Wishbones
DESCRIPTION:– STANDING ROOM ONLY \nGenre-defying Emerson Woolf & the Wishbones have been categorized as many things: Indie Alternative\, Folk Rock\, Dark Country\, and Pop Americana\, to name a few. Their music forms itself around Emerson’s songwriting\, and the raw lyrics and visual storytelling pull listeners in from all walks of musical appreciation. Her songs are often a collage of autobiographical and completely fantastical elements\, creating a unique space that is so relatably human while also seeming otherworldly and cinematic. \nThe band has been capturing attention in the indie music space since the release of their debut EP Not a Good Woman\, and they’ve certainly managed to keep it with their recent release Too Easy to Kill\, featuring Thia Kane. \nSince taking the leap into full-time music\, Emerson Woolf & the Wishbones have released several well-received records\, including their debut full-length album “Everything Must Go\,” which earned them the 2023 Makin Waves Best New Artist Award. Their catalog features notable songs like “Not a Good Woman\,” “Wouldn’t it Be Funny\,” and “Like Louisiana Sky\,” showcasing their evolving sound and emotional depth. The band’s passionate approach and connection with their audience continue to build their reputation as rising stars in the indie and Americana music scenes.

SUMMARY:ENCOUNTERS WITH CREATIVES – HOLLAND VAN GORES\, WOOD & MIXED MEDIA ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Meet and watch Holland Van Gores apply milk paint to his incredible wooden sculptures. \nHolland has spent the better part of his life working with wood. As a child\, he had access to his father’s workshop and was able to use the tools and supplies. Learning these skills early in life\, led him to choose a career in construction where he honed his skills in California before taking on construction work in remote Costa Rica and eventually the United States Virgin Islands. Holland and his family relocated to western North Carolina in 2012 where he built a studio surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest. He is constantly experimenting with forms and textures\, often inspired by organic themes. “Making something with my hands allows me to feel a connection to that piece\, giving it a purpose.”

SUMMARY:FREE PATIO SHOW: Maisy Owen // Lucky Break
DESCRIPTION:– FREE SHOW\n– LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE \nMAISY OWEN\nMaisy Owen\, a Nashville native\, has been surrounded by music and the art of songcraft just about all her life. First came the viola at the age of 9\, then guitar where she embraced fingerpicking while soaking in influences from Nick Drake\, Bert Jansch\, Mazzy Star and David Olney. Raised in a musical family\, her father Gwil Owen is an Academy Award-nominated songwriter. Maisy’s unique sound\, musical truth and stirring vocals inhabit Dark On A Sunny Day\, her debut album\, produced by Robin Eaton and to be released in the Spring of 2026 on Tompkins Square Records. Drawn to melancholic melodies and dark poetic imagery\, her first single “My Youth Is All For You” was released as a 7” and hit streaming services in October of 2025.\nLUCKY BREAK \nNurtured on 90s alternative indie\, lucky break’s music melds the emotional directness of Fiona Apple\, the wide-eyed warmth of Bedouine and the Americana-leaning alt rock of Lucinda Williams. Fans of Alvvays\, Hole\, Phoebe Bridgers and The Breeders will find familiar touchstones here.
