SUMMARY:The Art of Wellbeing: Therapeutic Art Making in the Museum
DESCRIPTION:Art has the power to heal\, restore\, and reconnect us to what matters most. Join us at the Asheville Art Museum for a guided art-making session led by a registered art therapist\, designed to explore how art can be a tool to nurture your mental and emotional wellbeing. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or have never picked up a paintbrush\, come as you are and leave feeling refreshed. Join Alexis for sessions on August 15\, September 19\, and December 19. \nDr. C. Alexis Decosimo is a licensed mental health clinician\, registered art therapist\, and Doctor of Public Health. She specializes in helping children\, families\, and individuals access healing through blending therapeutic artmaking and evidence-based approaches including EMDR\, cognitive behavioral therapy\, and person-centered approaches.\nShe believes in meeting clients where they are\, drawing on creative modalities to open pathways to healing that talk therapy alone may not reach. Her clinical work is deeply informed by over a decade of international experience building mental health programs in some of the world’s most under-resourced settings\, giving her a grounded\, adaptive\, and culturally sensitive approach to care.\nIn her Asheville practice\, she brings that same commitment to accessible\, ethical\, and community-rooted mental health support to help clients process trauma\, build resilience\, and find their footing through the power of expressive therapy.

SUMMARY:PATIO SHOW: Woody Wood & Abe Reid of The Blue Rags
DESCRIPTION:LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE \nWOODY WOOD\nAsheville’s own\nCosmic Appalachian Soul / Musical style that doesn’t fit neatly into any one style but is a genre-bending fusion of rock\, blues\, and soul. \nABE REID\nAbe Reid is a North Carolina musician and one of the modern keepers of the Piedmont roots music tradition. Born in Forsyth County and raised in Statesville\, Reid began playing guitar at a young age\, developing a deep connection to the region’s historic finger-style traditions.\nHis musical education came directly from the source. As a young player\, he spent time with legendary Carolina musicians Guitar Gabriel and Cootie Stark\, learning not only guitar technique but also the storytelling and spirit behind traditional American music. \nIn the 1990s\, Reid immersed himself in the life of a working musician\, busking on the streets of New Orleans before returning to North Carolina’s music scene. He later helped form the roots band The Blue Rags\, known for energetic performances and traditional sounds. \nReid gained international recognition when he won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis—becoming the first solo performer to win the competition. \nToday\, Abe Reid continues to perform\, teach\, and share the music of the American South\, passing on knowledge learned from older musicians and decades on the road. \nThis is a Weekly Recurring Event\nRuns from Aug 17\, 2026 to Aug 31\, 2026 and happens every:\nMondays:	6:00pm – 8:00pm

SUMMARY:Rooftop Comedy featuring Jeremy Alder
DESCRIPTION:Modelface Comedy brings the best comedians from all over the country to Asheville\, NC. This week we are excited to have Jeremy Alder from Raleigh! \nChemist Spirts welcomes a group of Asheville top comedians for a night of laughs. Enjoy a stunning AVL sunset from the rooftop bar at Antidote while giggling and sipping a classic cocktail. \nJeremy Alder is a warm\, dry\, delightfully irreverent comedian with the vibe of a former church kid finally saying\, “Y’all aren’t ready for this conversation… but here we go.” Raised homeschooled in a deeply religious Texas family\, he now turns that world into quietly audacious\, deceptively sharp comedy—exploring faith\, doubt\, marriage\, parenting\, and growing up “Texas” with a calm\, precise delivery that draws audiences into conversations they didn’t expect but can’t stop laughing through. \nHeadlining nationwide\, Jeremy has built a growing platform to match his growing following: his Dry Bar Comedy special has earned over 7 million views\, he’s been featured on Nate Bargatze’s Nateland Presents\, and he’s in regular rotation on SiriusXM. His debut album\, Almost a Grown Man\, and his online series\, Christians Who Don’t Suck\, showcase the same probing humor that’s cemented his place as comedy’s favorite soft-spoken agent of chaos. If you like your comedy hilarious\, thoughtful\, and a little spicy\, Jeremy’s your guy. \nages 21+\nDoors at 7:30pm\, show at 8pm\nTickets $18
