Elements of BMC: Intuitive Photography and Collage Workshop
2025-07-12 12:00 - 13:30 | Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, 120 College Street, Asheville, North Carolina, 28801
ELEMENTS OF BMC is a workshop series that explores the fundamental parts of creative practice at Black Mountain College, highlighting a range of artistic mediums and techniques. The series investigates the role of these elements in shaping the college’s legacy and lasting influence on contemporary art. Join us for an intuitive photography and collage workshop with Anna Helgeson. Please register if you plan to attend.
About the Workshop:
We are all haunted; by ideas, history, ancestors (biological and otherwise), and by animating forces we can not quite explain. This workshop will welcome the possibility of collaborating with these mysterious forces.
Participants will be led through a guided meditation (which is nothing to be afraid of) before going on an intuitive photo walk around downtown Asheville. We will then return to BMC Museum + Art Center to create collages based on the photographic discoveries collected. There is no right or wrong way to engage with this workshop, unless you allow ideas of right and wrong to control your actions, which would clearly be wrong.
No photography experience necessary. Any image capturing device will work, including your phone, a point and shoot camera, a fancy DSLR.

Becomyth - We Begin In Chaos - Night 1: Book of Invocation
2025-07-13 18:30 - 21:30 | Story Parlor, 227 Haywood Road, Asheville, 28806
Night 1 | The Book of Invocation
The opening chapter of the Becomyth trilogy sets the stage with a theatrical meditation on the chaos of beginnings—where nothing is certain, and everything is possible. Against the backdrop of a world on the brink, two original creation myths converge, tracing the fragile yet forceful movements that bring something into being from nothing at all. The Book of Invocation beckons us to the edge of the unknown and invites us to step across.
ABOUT THE SERIES
Becomyth: We Begin in Chaos is a performance art project created by Adam J. N. Keene and Langston Kelly that delves into the nature of beginnings—why they challenge us, why they matter, and what transformation takes place in the act of starting anew. Drawing from global creation myths—some of the oldest maps we have for navigating the unknown—Becomyth investigates “chaotic beginnings” as a form of mythological sensemaking: a tool for navigating uncertainty, transformation, and potential.
Blending music, myth, and theatrical storytelling, Keene and Kelly invite audiences on a cosmic journey where ancient stories are reborn and new myths take root. Each evening in the three-part series presents original performances inspired by global creation stories—fusing dreamlike worlds with powerful archetypes to ask: What does it mean to begin? And who do we become in the process?

RAD Comedy featuring Jeremy Alder
2025-07-13 19:00 - 21:00 | The River Arts District Brewing Company, 13 Mystery Street, Asheville, 28801
Every Weekend Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country. This week we are excited to have Jeremy Alder!
Homeschooled in the heart of Texas by fundamentalist missionary parents with a penchant for conspiracy theories, Jeremy’s childhood was anything but conventional. Steeped in a world of alternative facts and fervent beliefs, he learned early on to find the humor in life’s absurdities.
Now married with children of his own, Jeremy’s material delves into the trials and tribulations of growing up homeschooled, the complications of religion, the mysteries of marriage, the chaos of parenting, and the existential crisis of aging—all with a healthy dose of skepticism and silliness, dry wit and charm.
Jeremy headlines comedy clubs and bars around the country and has opened for several nationally touring acts, including Demitri Martin, Russell Howard, Tom Papa, Aparna Nancherla, Nicole Byer, and Chad Daniels. He has been a featured performer at numerous comedy festivals, including Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, Big Sky Comedy Festival (Best of Fest), Asheville Comedy Festival, and Cleveland Comedy Festival (Best of Fest).
Jeremy’s Dry Bar Comedy special, “Purity Pants”, is now on YouTube and has generated over 7 million views on social media. His debut album, “Almost A Grown Man”, is streaming now.

Admiral Radio, the award-winning folk/Americana act from South Carolina, is the creative partnership of Coty Hoover and Becca Smith. Named after their old wooden radio, this husband-and-wife team blends heartfelt harmonies, storytelling, and raw sincerity. Their sound is straightforward yet powerful—rooted in tight vocal interplay and finely picked acoustic instruments. Inspired by the everyday, their songs explore life lessons, the quiet hustle of ordinary life, and the dogged optimism that drives it all.
The duo has three independently-produced albums under their belt; their debut original record Sounds Like You (2020) and Songs From the Vault (2022), an EP of songs from the public domain. Their latest album, Good Things Take Time (2024), has garnered critical acclaim and national radio play, with tracks like “Look Back and Learn” praised by American Songwriter for its ‘power to help and heal’.
Known for their energetic and emotional live shows, Admiral Radio has shared stages with bluegrass legend Del McCoury, folkgrass icon Molly Tuttle, pop-rock sensation Judah & the Lion, and more. Becca and Coty hold a presence that is palpable and real, both on and off stage. From humble beginnings to their growing buzz, Admiral Radio is redefining the folk tradition with every mile down America’s backroads.
