SUMMARY:Horse and Hero Artist Spotlight featuring Sara Simpson!
DESCRIPTION:Horse and Hero Artist Spotlight featuring Sara Simpson!\nSaturday\, May 25th from 6-9PM. Horse and Hero is located at 14 Patton Ave in the heart of downtown Asheville.  \nSara Simpson is a fiber artist in Rock Hill\, SC. Her primary medium is crochet\, but she enjoys incorporating other fiber mediums into her work. Sara enjoys the tactile experience crochet brings to both the artist’s process and to the viewer. Sara typically uses basic stitches to create her work; relying on the colors and weight of the yarn to convey emotion in each piece. Texture plays a large part in Sara’s process. In addition to using traditional yarn (acrylic\, cotton\, wool\, etc.)\, she has also used unconventional material as “yarn”. This includes plastic bags\, plastic flagging tape\, old t-shirts\, and old bed sheets. More recently\, Sara has begun to incorporate needle felting into her work to add another layer of texture.

SUMMARY:Performance and Community Conversation with Teso Ellis
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, May 28\, 6:30 p.m.\, join us for a performance and community conversation with Teso Ellis\, LEAF’s Spark the Arts Artist in Residence for May. Free event — open to the public! \nTeso Ellis is a songwriter who has been performing in Asheville for the past eight years. Teso captivates audiences from dive bars to large venues — often with a band called Chilltonic — performing a type of music that can only be described as a genre fluid. Teso has left an indelible mark on the music scene of Asheville. If you see the Afro and the guitar approaching a microphone\, prepare yourself for a spellbinding musical experience. \nThe North Carolina Arts Council created Spark the Arts as an awareness campaign. It was designed to inspire public participation in the arts across the state by highlighting the unique way the arts lift spirits\, bring people together\, and heal. “Recognizing that the people of North Carolina are the spark that keeps the arts alive\, well\, and thriving\, our goal is to ignite the resurgence of our state’s arts sector from the pandemic by connecting residents and visitors to arts experiences and arts stories across our state\,” says the North Carolina Arts Council.

SUMMARY:Malaprop's Bookstore Author Event\, A Deeper South: Pete Candler in conversation with Melanie Bianchi
DESCRIPTION:Local authors Pete Candler and Melanie Bianchi discuss Candler’s new book\, A Deeper South: The Beauty\, Mystery\, and Sorrow of the Southern Road.  In his new book\, Pete Candler offers a travel narrative drawn from twenty-five years of road-tripping through the backroads of the American South. Featuring Candler’s own photography\, the book taps into the public imagination and the process of both remembering and forgetting that define our collective memory of place. Candler\, who belongs to one of Georgia’s most recognizable families\, confronts the uncomfortable truths of his own descendants’ roles in the South’s legacy of white supremacy with a masterful mix of authority and a humbling sense that his own journey of “unforgetting” and recovering has only just begun.
