SUMMARY:sov·er·eign·ty: Expressions in Sovereignty of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians
DESCRIPTION:On view from March 15\, 2024 through February 28\, 2025\, ‘sov·er·eign·ty: Expressions in Sovereignty of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ illuminates the complexities of tribal sovereignty and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ continuing legacy of resilience.\nFeaturing objects sourced from the Museum of the Cherokee People’s own collections\, ‘sov·er·eign·ty’ is designed to educate visitors about the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ autonomy\, its relationship with the federal government\, and how the tribe has defined its own relationship with its land\, people\, and culture. \nThe Museum of the Cherokee People is the tribal museum of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI)\, one of three federally recognized Cherokee tribes alongside Cherokee Nation and the United Keetowah Band of Cherokee Indians. The EBCI is a self-governed\, autonomous nation with over 16\,000 enrolled members living around the world—it has its own laws\, elections\, and government—and is the only federally recognized Tribal Nation within the boundaries of what is currently known as North Carolina.  \nIn this exhibition\, visitors will learn how\, through adaptability and innovation\, the EBCI has combated attempts to eradicate\, remove\, and assimilate its people and remained on the Qualla Boundary—57\,000 acres (0.00067661% of the original Cherokee territory) which is owned by the EBCI and held in trust by the federal government.

SUMMARY:Poetry 101: The Curious Practice of Paying Attention
DESCRIPTION:Poetry is the written act of paying attention. Paying attention to words\, rhythm\, and writing but most importantly the worlds that inspire you to write. Namely\, your world.  \n“Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” -Charles Simic \nHave you ever swooned at the thought of exploring your full expression\, only to shuffle around the house more determined to rearrange mothballs than get something on paper?  \nPoetry is undoubtedly a practice\, but it doesn’t have to be an intimidating sport for Creative Gods alone. The only “ask” is to take note and notice of your life.  \nWe’ll help develop the work itself\, together. \nThis full-bodied beginner’s poetry class will help you shift from “Oof\, I could never…” into “Wait\, where’s my journal?!” by tuning into your world: to the color palette of grass\, to coffee-shop conversation\, to the twitch in your left elbow. If you want language for the volcanic prayers of your soul or to describe your partner’s voice whispering “I love you” at 4am\, we’ll get there. This class weaves the elements of poetry\, forms of poetry\, guided discussion with peers\, and the works of prolific poets all into a multidisciplinary play space. Plus\, oodles (oodles!) of writing time to build personal confidence and craft. This class immerses itself in artful experimentation across mediums\, paired with a toolkit of technical writing skills. It’s the ultimate permission slip to be a beginner.  \n“Poetry is an echo\, asking a shadow to dance.” -Carl Sandburg \n5 wk series. 6/5-7/10 (7/3 cancelled)\, Wednesdays from 6:30-8:30p

SUMMARY:Ride the Parkway Fundraiser for Veterans Museum
DESCRIPTION:Imagine bicycling the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Whew! U.S. military veterans John Buford and Rich Clarke\, members of the Veterans History Museum’s Advisory Committee\, will pedal 469 miles to support the Veterans History Museum of the Carolinas. Cyclists will share progress daily through their social media posts.\nWith your help via donations (small\, medium or large)\, together we will raise money to support the museum’s mission to honor veterans\, educate citizens\, and preserve our history. From June 25 to July 1\, Buford and Clarke will bike the parkway from the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to Cherokee\, North Carolina.\nWe invite you to pledge 10 cents or more per mile traveled. The mileage of the team member who rides the farthest will be used to calculate your donation at the end of the ride.\nOption 1: You choose to donate any amount of 10 cents or more per mile cycled. Examples: If you pledge $1.00 per mile you will receive a request to send your tax-deductible check to the museum for $469. Twenty-five cents per mile would equal $117.25\, etc. You decide—the sky’s the limit!\nOption 2: You may pledge a fixed amount not based on mileage.\nTo make a pledge\, email mjrobertson@comporium.net and state your:\n·      Full name\n·      Amount pledged:\n–	Per mile\, or\n–	Fixed amount\nYou will receive a request for payment after July 1.\nWe thank you for your generosity and your support of veterans!

SUMMARY:SCYTHIAN at The Grey Eagle
DESCRIPTION:Washington DC-based Scythian (sith-ee-yin) began over 12 years ago as a bunch of college buddies playing Celtic music in the streets and has grown to be a headliner on the US Celtic Festival Circuit as well as a name in the Bluegrass/Americana Festival Circuit. They found that their brand of high-energy folk music found a resonance that led The Washington Post to state: “Scythian’s enthusiasm is contagious\, and shows seem to end with everyone dancing\, jumping around or hoisting glasses.” \nFor over 12 years they have found success as an independent band and have played over 1\,300 shows all over the united states\, Europe\, Canada and as far aways as Australia.  See them live in Asheville’s longest-running music venue.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL BOOK TALK: Fritz Horstman – Interacting with Color
DESCRIPTION:BOOK TALK: Fritz Horstman – Interacting with Color\nTuesday\, July 9\, 2024\, 1pm EST\nStreaming to Vimeo + Facebook \nBMCM+AC presents a virtual book talk with Fritz Horstman\, education director at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation\, exploring his new publication Interacting with Color: A Practical Guide to Josef Albers’s Color Experiments. \nAbout the Book: \nThe essence of Josef Albers’s Interaction of Color in a format that engages learners of all ages and levels and encourages a hands-on approach \nInteraction of Color is often presented as an overarching theory of color\, but it is actually a method of learning how to better see and understand color—many of the color exercises illustrated in Interaction of Color were devised by Albers’s students: cutting and pasting\, looking\, pondering\, and learning. This workbook companion is a teaching tool designed to enable readers to engage in the kinds of tactile creativity and exploration that characterized Albers’s own classroom. \nFocusing on eight of the most important lessons in Interaction of Color\, this book invites readers to learn by doing\, using only simple materials. Core instructions for each exercise are enhanced by additional tips\, references to Albers’s original text and illustrations\, and stories about how Albers presented the ideas in class. The book and exercises are sufficiently nuanced to challenge and inspire seasoned artists\, designers\, and educators while also being readily accessible to younger readers and less-experienced practitioners. \nFritz Horstman is a curator\, educator\, and artist based in Bethany\, Connecticut where he is Education Director at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. He has curated exhibitions in Italy\, Ireland\, Croatia\, Norway\, and the United States\, including Anni Albers: In Thread and On Paper\, which is currently on view at the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin\, TX. He has lectured and given workshops at Yale University\, Harvard University\, l’École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris\, Lebanese American University in Beirut\, The Royal Academy of Art in London\, and many other institutions. Recent exhibitions of his sculptures\, installations\, prints and drawings have been shown across Europe and the US\, with upcoming solo shows at the New Britain Museum of American Art in New Britain\, Connecticut; Municipal Bonds in San Francisco; and Planthouse Gallery in Manhattan.

SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING: Deep Listening: The Story of Pauline Oliveros
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Deep Listening\, a new documentary film project on the life and work of American icon Pauline Oliveros. \nPauline Oliveros (1932-2016) composer\, performer\, humanitarian\, was an important pioneer in American Music. Acclaimed internationally\, for six decades she explored sound-forging new ground for herself and others. Through improvisation\, electronic music\, ritual\, teaching and meditation she created a body of work with such a breadth of vision that it profoundly effects those who experience it and eludes many who try to write about it. \nOliveros was honored with many awards\, including four honorary doctorates\, grants and concerts internationally. Whether performing at the John F. Kennedy Centre in Washington DC\, in an underground Cistern\, or in the studios of a West German radio station\, Oliveros’ commitment to interaction with the moment was unchanged. Through Deep Listening Pieces and earlier Sonic Meditations\, Oliveros introduced the concept of incorporating all environmental sounds into musical performance. She spoke of this as “playing the space\,” playing with whatever space she performed in as another instrument. As she said\, “Listening to space changes the space\, and changing the space changes listening.” In playing this way\, she applied focused concentration\, skilled musicianship\, and strong improvisational skills\, all of which were hallmarks of her performances. \nShe built a loyal following through her extensive teaching\, concerts\, recordings\, publications\, and musical compositions that she wrote for soloists and ensembles in music\, dance\, theater\, and inter-arts companies. She also provided leadership within the music community by acting in an advisory capacity for organizations such as The National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council for the Arts\, and many private foundations. She served as Distinguished Research Professor of Music at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Darius Milhaud Composer in Residence at Mills College. \nOliveros was vocal about representing the needs of individual artists\, about the need for diversity and experimentation in the arts and promoting cooperation and good will among people. She founded the Deep Listening Institute\, formerly Pauline Oliveros Foundation\, and now Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. \n“Deep Listening is listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what you are doing. Such intense listening includes the sounds of daily life\, of nature\, or one’s own thoughts as well as musical sounds. Deep Listening represents a heightened state of awareness and connects to all that there is. As a composer I make my music through Deep Listening.”\n– Pauline Oliveros

SUMMARY:Suzie Brown + Scot Sax
DESCRIPTION:Suzie Brown and Scot Sax return to the Citizen Vinyl stage on July 11. 7 p.m. show\, 6 p.m. doors. $18 in advance / $22 at the door. \nA 1970s-inspired folk-pop songwriter\, Suzie Brown has chased her unique muse for a decade\, making modern-day roots music that nods to the soul singers\, heartland rockers\, and blues artists who came before her. Gluing the sound together is the unforced voice and honest\, autobiographical songwriting of a Renaissance woman who’s not only an acclaimed musician\, but also a part-time cardiologist and full-time mother. \nScot Sax’s multifaceted career started with a bang when his song “I Walked” became a radio hit with his band Wanderlust (RCA) in ’95. It was the No. 1 most requested song on rock stations across the country. That year ended with Wanderlust opening for The Who. After signing a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music in Los Angeles\, Sax went on to write and perform “I Am The Summertime” for the film American Pie (awarded a Gold Record) and form indie-darlings FEEL (Curb Records). In 2005\, he was a co-writer of the Grammy-winning Faith Hill/Tim McGraw duet “Like We Never Loved At All.” Upon hearing Sax’s song “What Gets In The Way\,” Robert Plant\, Alison Krauss\, and T-Bone Burnett asked him and singer Sharon Little to be their opening act for their Raising Sand Tour in 2007. Sax worked with Don Was in 2009 on Little’s second album. From there\, Sax went on to dive into another passion of his: film. He released the documentary Platinum Rush\, starring Lisa Loeb and Oliver Wood\, created videos for Lucinda Williams’ Car Wheels On A Gravel Road 20th Anniversary Tour\, and directed award-winning films Playback Is A Bitch and This Is Major\, all the while continuing to release new music. Since 2023\, Scot’s comedy and music TV show “JoinWithVideo” has been seen on CBS in Nashville and has become an East Nashville staple.
