SUMMARY:Mikey Lion w/s/g Klaws @ Third Room
DESCRIPTION:WHERE: Third Room\nWHEN: Saturday August 16\, 2025\nDOORS: 9pm SHOW: 10pm\nGENRE: house / tech‑house\nTICKETS: $28 early bird ga / $33 ga \nPURCHASE: https://tixr.com/e/151340 \nMikey Lion:\nWEBSITE: https://deserthearts.us/artist/mikeylion\nHEAR SOME MUSIC: https://soundcloud.com/mikeylion\nSEE A VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JSyQiHPpW0 \nPart mythical desert harlequin\, part modern soul conductor\, Mikey Lion is more than a DJ––He’s a freak of nature and a controller of energy. The San Diego-native has earned a dusty mystique over the past few years as the center of the Desert Hearts movement and as a house and techno provocateur with a stage presence that suggests he will ride this wave all the way to the top. If there’s one thing Mikey does well\, it’s get the party started. \nLion has brought the mothafuckin’ ruckus to the stages of Lightning in a Bottle\, the dustiest storms at Burning Man\, and The Do LaB at Coachella\, earning nods from Claude VonStroke\, Jamie Jones\, and Green Velvet in the process. In doing so\, Lion and his signature top hat have developed a boisterous voice in the House & Techno scene with strong tribal\, hip-hop\, and psychedelic elements.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Alexander: From The Book Of Time
DESCRIPTION:Tracey Morgan Gallery is pleased to present our first solo exhibition with\nmultimedia artist Elizabeth Alexander. Please join us for a reception for\nthe Artist on Saturday\, August 16 from 6-8PM. \nPulling from a wide array of source materials\, Alexander recontextualizes\nobjects traditionally associated with domesticity such as wallpaper\,\nupholstered furniture\, and porcelain ware\, probing at the societal\,\nhistorical\, and personal meanings embedded within. Her meticulously\nrendered works reveal the many contradictions lurking beneath\nthe surface of lovely\, docile appearances. \nThe title of the exhibition\, taken from a poem by Mary Oliver\, describes the feeling of relief when a storm is visible\, but distant. Like the poem\, there is evidence of time passing and changing the contents of this show: figures sit idly in images while they dissolve\, porcelain tableware is worn down into delicate shells\, floral decor is dying before one’s eyes. Alexander blends scavenged domestic forms and floral decor with cast storm debris to imbue objects of order and comfort with the unpredictability and slow evolution of the natural world. Within these ‘beautiful disasters’ she works to bring forth the increasing vulnerability within our surroundings often hidden among the pleasantries. Her work envisions\nthe humanity embedded within our surroundings and uncovers the porousness of our walls and the interconnectivity we often forget (or ignore) is there. \nElizabeth Alexander holds degrees in sculpture from the Cranbrook Academy\, MFA\, and Massachusetts College of Art\, BFA\, where she discovered the complex nature of dissecting objects of nostalgia. Her work has exhibited across the country at institutions including the Museum of Art and Design\, the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, the North Carolina Museum of Art\, the Southeast Center for Contemporary Art\, the Nasher Museum at Duke University\, and the Currier Museum. It is included in permanent collections at the Crystal Bridges Museum\, Bentonville\, AR; Fidelity; and the Mint Museum\, Charlotte\, NC. She is currently an Associate Professor and the Sculpture Department\nCoordinator at Montserrat College of Art\, Beverly\, MA. \nAll image requests and inquiries\, contact info@traceymorgangallery.com

SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING: Artists and the Unknown
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Artists and the Unknown\, a selection of documentary films by Art21. These films—five in total\, making up an hour-long program—explore the work of artists who use randomness\, mystery\, and unknowability to try to answer some of life’s biggest questions. Featured artists include Linda Goode Bryant\, Sarah Sze\, Rose B. Simpson\, Josephine Halvorson\, and Michael Rakowitz. The screening is free to attend and open to all. Pre-registration helps us plan for the right amount of guests\, but is not required. You can pre-register using the button above. \nThis event is presented in collaboration with Art21. For more information\, visit art21.org. \n“What does the ‘unknown’ mean? It is something we encounter in ways big and small every day of our lives. It appears when we wake up and wonder what the day holds\, as we watch the world around us change\, develop\, and decay\, and in our risks\, dreams\, and curiosities. The unknown can appear unexpectedly\, at any time\, and with myriad forms and faces. What do we do with that information? At Art21\, we look to artists.” \nThese five films capture engaging\, inspiring\, and stimulating conversations that explore encounters with the unknown. Featuring the works and words of groundbreaking contemporary artists\, this collection serves as a guide and a companion in your own encounters with unknowability.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Reading Tutor Training with Read 2 Succeed

We partner with families\, schools\, and volunteers to support K–5 students across Asheville and Buncombe County in becoming confident\, joyful readers. \nPublic schools—especially those serving Black and Brown students—are under-resourced and impacted by systems that weren’t built for equity.

SUMMARY:Bark Mask Making w/ Josh Barnwell
DESCRIPTION:In preparation for Autumn and Samhain\, the season of ancestors and mystery\, this hands-on exploration of the nature of bark–and your own wild nature–is the perfect opportunity to create an alternate visage for yourself. Bark is a material of incredible richness\, its textures\, forms and functions shaped by the trees it protects. Beyond its practical uses\, bark has a deeper\, more mysterious potential: transformational masks. For centuries\, humans have metamorphosed through masks\, exploring alter selves and new ways of seeing the world.\nIn this hands-on workshop\, you’ll do just that: explore the nature of bark and your own creative instincts by crafting a unique mask from tulip poplar bark. \nWhat You’ll Learn & Create:\n* How bark behaves from tree to transformation—its natural properties\, preparation\, and preservation.\n*The process of selecting and shaping bark into a mask\, designing a form that speaks to you.\n*Basic low-relief carving techniques using simple hand tools (experience is helpful but not required).\n*How to process your own bark into mask blanks for future creations. \nEach participant will leave with a handmade mask and the skills to continue crafting with bark. But more than that\, this workshop offers a chance to connect—both with the living trees that provide this material and with the internal landscapes we explore when we create and embody an alternate version of ourselves.\nWhether you’re a seasoned carver or a curious beginner\, this class invites you to step into the world of bark mask making—an art both ancient and newly rediscovered. Join beloved crafter and inspiring instructor\, Josh Barnwell\,  in shaping something truly unique.

We have travelled all over the US\, playing 49 out of 50 states and almost every major city on the map. We have recorded music that we are very proud of. We have played thousands of shows. We have made friends all across the planet that we still hold very dear to our hearts. We even managed to pick up a Grammy amidst all the craziness! \nTwo band members that have been instrumental in continuing the legacy of the Booty Band are Mary Frances aka “Mama Funk” and Lee Allen aka “Insta-Funk.” When we met them\, they played as a duo known as Eymarel. We fell in love with Lee and Mary as musicians and as friends. We often talked about how cool it would be to integrate them into the band. Then one day they moved to Asheville\, we had some changes in the lineup\, they joined the band\, and the rest is history. \nWe wouldn’t be what we are today without their contributions and it’s been a pleasure writing and performing music alongside these two for the last 15+ years. At this point\, Lee and Mary\, along with Booty Band saxophonist Jonathan Cole\, will be shifting their focus to their new amazing project ElectroLust. We fully support them in this endeavor and encourage all Booty Band fans to check out their new project\, as we have high hopes for this group. This doesn’t mean the end to collaborations between all of us. Be on the lookout for special guest sit in performances of some of the band’s (and fans’) favorite tunes at select shows. \nWhen one door closes\, another door opens! \nThat being said\, we have some very exciting additions to the band. We are proud to announce that we will be bringing back original Booty Band members Josh Phillips (vocals/guitar/percussion) and Greg “Gregbob” Hollowell (saxophones) along with the new addition of Patrick Armitage on drums. \nWe are super excited about this new/old lineup! Expect to hear some of the classic tunes from the early era\, expect to hear some brand new music\, expect more live shows and a whole new phase of that same great Funk music that we have been delivering for over two decades. \nBig shout out to all the friends\, family\, and fans that have supported our booties through thick and thin. Cheers to 23 years\, and many more to come!\n-JP Miller (guitarist and founding member) \nAin’t Sisters:\nWEBSITE: https://theaintsisters.com\nHEAR SOME MUSIC: https://theaintsisters.com/electronic-press-kit-epk\nSEE A VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWxbQoWiCw8 \nFun\, eclectic folk rock. Fronted by the deliciously androgynous duo Arrie Bozeman and Barb Carbon\, the Aints deliver high-energy performances of their wildly diverse original music. Joined by the hardest working men in rock n Roll\, Richie Jones on the Boom Chick thwackita whackita\, and Justin Boudreau\, aka BooDreamy\, masterfully holding down the rhythm section and making everybody swoon with their gorgeous licks. Think Indigo Girls meets Dream Theater but with a little Birdcloud in the mix. \nIf ya ain’t sisters\, what are ya? \n“These girls need to be our damn house band!”\n– Blondie Strange\, The Clermont Lounge \n“They have stirred up this old songwriter something fierce!”\n– Ralph Roddenbery \n“Wicked Indie Rock!” – Scott Hopkins\, Music Fest News \n“Transcends the borders of alt-country.” – The Vinyl District
