SUMMARY:Call for Artists - Where the Land Remembers: Farming in Old Fort
DESCRIPTION:This show centers on the idea that land isn’t just used—it holds memory. In and around Old Fort\, generations of farming have shaped both the physical landscape and the identity of the people who live there. The land is a living archive—every field\, fence line\, and hillside carries traces of past hands\, seasons\, and stories. \nExhibit runs from June 27 – July 29 \nARTISTS!\nPlease apply. Create a piece that reflects our relationship to the land — whether inherited\, worked\, remembered\, or imagined. Consider what the land holds that cannot be seen at first glance — cycles of work and seasons\, hands that shape the land\, the land as witness\, boundaries and belonging\, and echoes of the past and seeds of the future. \nFor more details: https://arrowheadart.org/call-for-artists/call-for-artists-where-the-land-remembers \nCurator: Becky Aldridge  (828-803-8315)* \nEntry Intake: June 25 from 1:00 – 6:00 pm \nArtwork Hung: June 26 \nArtist Reception: June 27 from 4:00 – 6:00pm \nExhibit Dates: June 27 – July 26 \nEntry Pickup: July 29 (during gallery hours)

SUMMARY:Zoe & Cloyd | The Foreign Landers with special guest Kevin Kehrberg
DESCRIPTION:Zoe & Cloyd—the creative partnership of fiddler/vocalist Natalya Zoe Weinstein and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist John Cloyd Miller—prove that opposites truly do attract. Hailing from two distinct musical worlds\, they merge their unique backgrounds into a powerful collaboration that has garnered both critical acclaim and widespread appeal. \nNatalya\, a classically trained musician from Massachusetts with deep roots in klezmer and jazz\, joins forces with John\, a 12th-generation North Carolinian and grandson of pioneering bluegrass fiddler Jim Shumate. Together\, they create music that honors their respective traditions while forging a distinctive sound of their own. This award-winning duo’s work has been praised by Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine as “a musical collaboration that demands to be heard.” \nAccolades follow Zoe & Cloyd wherever they go. John is a grand prize winner of both the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Contest and the Hazel Dickens Songwriting Contest\, while Natalya has earned numerous fiddle contest wins across the country. Based in Asheville\, NC\, they both teach in the traditional music program at Warren Wilson College\, sharing their knowledge and passion with the next generation of musicians. \nZoe & Cloyd have performed nationwide and internationally\, captivating audiences at prestigious venues and festivals like MerleFest\, Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival\, Westport Folk & Bluegrass Fest in Ireland\, Earl Scruggs Music Fest\, FreshGrass Festival\, and the NC Folk Festival. Since 2022\, they have also served as the artistic directors for A Swannanoa Solstice at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts in Asheville. \nCo-Headlining The Foreign Landers and Kevin Kehrberg on upright bass \n“One listen to the lilting vocals\, truthful narrative\, and welcoming musicality and you will understand\,” writes The Aquarian. “Beautiful would almost be an understatement.” That sense of invitation sits at the heart of The Foreign Landers’ music. Their songs pay close attention to ordinary moments\, shaped by the belief that grace often shows up in these places. Rooted in bluegrass and Celtic tradition\, the band blends acoustic drive with reflective songwriting and close harmony singing shaped by lives lived across borders. \nRooted in bluegrass and Celtic tradition\, the band creates their own sound with reflective songwriting and enchanting singing shaped by lives lived across borders. Led by vocalist and banjoist Tabitha Agnew Benedict of Northern Ireland and mandolinist David Benedict of South Carolina\, The Foreign Landershave built a reputation for music that feels deeply personal. Their work grows out of shared experience\, shaped by distance\, home\, and the steady work of learning how to live faithfully in changing seasons. \nKevin Kehrberg is a Warren Wilson professor and chair of the music department won the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Instrumental Recording of the Year award for his rendition of “Ground Speed\,” originally written by Earl Scruggs. \nFriday\, June 26th – 7:30 – We want everyone to access the healing power of music!

SUMMARY:PATIO SHOW: Swift Silver
DESCRIPTION:– LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE\nSWIFT SILVER \nSwift Silver is the musical partnership of Anna Kline and John Looney. For 15 years\, they’ve cultivated a sound drawn from the well of Southern soul\, blues\, and Appalachian roots music. Anchored by Anna’s vivid lyrics and John’s masterful arrangements\, Swift Silver’s songcraft stays true to the place that made them.

Anna’s songs and poetry were featured in the 2025 Women of Appalachia Project anthology\, and she co-wrote “Last Mule in the Holler” with Montana Hobbs of The Local Honeys. John has toured and recorded with artists including John R. Miller\, The Local Honeys\, Wayne Graham\, and Carla Gover. Swift Silver is a torchbearer of Kentucky’s musical legacy and a powerful voice in Appalachia’s musical evolution. They are preparing to release a new album in 2026.

SUMMARY:Mosaic art for beginners and overcoming fear of Grouting!
DESCRIPTION:This is a full-day class\, so bring a lunch or some snacks and something to drink. Students will create 2 mosaics. In the first half of the class\, we will learn terminology\, tools\, history\, and materials needed\, and will begin constructing our mosaics using a combination of ceramic tiles and stained glass. After a short break\, we will finalize both mosaics\, then resume class with a discussion about the grouting process\, including grout choices and colors. The instructor will share tips and tricks and will take all the mystery out of grout! Students will experiment with different colors of grout so they can see firsthand the impact grout makes on a finished mosaic.  \nThis is a beginner-friendly class\, and no experience is required. Your instructor will be expanding on the knowledge gained in this class with future intermediate classes and workshops to be announced.  \nIf you’d like to learn the ancient art of mosaic\, this class is a MUST! Students will learn all the basics that will give them confidence to go out and make their own mosaic artworks!
