SUMMARY:Evon Streetman: Reflections
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition of vintage photographs by Evon Streetman.  \nEvon Streetman is a seminal figure in Southern photography whose experimental approach helped define the trajectory of contemporary photo-based art in the region. Initially trained as a painter\, she was an early pioneer in incorporating painterly processes and handwork into her photographs. She embraces the materiality of the photographic surface through interventions such as hand-coloring\, airbrushing\, and the application of gold and silver leaf. Her images often blur the line between documentation and transformation\, evoking a sense of place that is both intimate and enigmatic. \nStreetman’s work emerged alongside a broader movement of artists who redefined photography as a fine art medium\, including Clarissa Sligh\, William Christenberry\, and Eugene Meatyard. Like her contemporaries\, Streetman’s work explores memory and place\, remaining deeply rooted in the Southern landscape. \nIn addition to her artistic practice\, Streetman was an impactful educator. She assisted in developing the photography curriculum at Florida State University and later founded the photography program at the Penland School of Craft. Her work remains a standard in the study of alternative photographic practices and the visual culture of the American South.

SUMMARY:Sister Act - Flat Rock Playhouse - 10/2-10/25
DESCRIPTION:When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a crime\, she hides out in the last place anyone would look — a convent. Suddenly\, the sequins are swapped for habits\, and the nightclub turns into a nave. But when Deloris brings her unholy amount of soul to the choir loft\, heaven gets a whole new groove. \nSister Act is a holy-rolling\, soul-lifting celebration of sisterhood\, second chances\, and songs that raise the roof. As Deloris helps the sisters find their voices\, they just might change her heart in return. \nPart divine comedy\, part disco revival\, it’s proof that a little funk — and a lot of faith — can turn any sanctuary into a showstopper. \nEvent Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:APLR Presents: Jon Mueller's FRIEND LESS with Adam Lion & Bryce Franich's Trekchö Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:APLR Presents: Jon Mueller’s FRIEND LESS with Adam Lion & Bryce Franich’s Trekchö Ensemble Record Release \nMonday\, October 5th\, 2026 \nAyurPrana Listening Room – 312 Haywood Rd\, Asheville\, NC 28806 \nDoors 6PM || Event 7PM \nAPLR is thrilled to welcome back Jon Mueller\, Adam Lion\, and Bryce Franich on Monday\, October 5th. Join us for an evening at the outer edges of sound\, featuring the debut of Mueller’s FRIEND LESS\, Lion’s return to Asheville\, and Franich’s album release. \nFRIEND LESS \nFRIEND LESS is a project by Jon Mueller. Its two recent EPs\, Energy Rippers and Logic of Relics (with Bundy K. Brown and James Plotkin) aim to provoke the heart\, mind and body through an unorthodox approach to rhythmic patterns. In performance\, the pieces from Energy Rippers lean on a system of AIR (Acoustic Improvised Rhythm) using drums and voice to achieve a similar effect. More information about the project can be found at rhythmplex.com. \nJon Mueller studied jazz drumming with Hal Russell at Columbia College in Chicago\, and singing with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela at the Kirana Center for Indian Classical Music in New York. A prolific performer\, he tours extensively and has appeared at festivals and venues throughout the United States\, Canada\, England\, Europe and Japan. \nIn addition to his solo work\, Mueller has collaborated and performed with groups such as Who is the Witness?\, Mind Over Mirrors\, Volcano Choir\, Collections of Colonies of Bees\, and Pele. He has also worked with artists including Olivia Block\, Aaron Turner\, Faith Coloccia\, Timo van Luijk\, Dawn Springer\, Chris Hefner\, Jason Kahn\, Hal Rammel\, Asmus Tietchens\, Z’EV\, Rhys Chatham\, Jarboe\, James Plotkin\, Duane Pitre\, and Raymond Dijkstra. \nHe has released music on renowned labels such as Room40\, Astres d’Or\, American Dreams\, Table of the Elements\, Type Recordings\, Important Records\, Taiga Records\, SIGE Records\, and his own imprint\, Rhythmplex. \nAdam Lion \nOffering “a tone so pure it is almost a sine-wave” (The Wire)\, Adam Lion is a percussionist/vibraphonist investigating enabling constraint\, acoustics\, repetition\, surprise\, and coincidence. His experimental performances blur acoustic space\, creating opportunities for new sonic frameworks to naturally emerge. Within this process\, new realities grow\, encouraging listeners to investigate the hidden potential of reimagined sound. Based in Los Angeles\, his work has been featured in The New York Times\, Pitchfork Media\, Artforum Magazine\, and Bandcamp Daily. \n“When a Line Bends” is a vibraphone composition/improvisation performed by Adam Lion. This solo is an ever changing study of sound\, material\, performer\, and space. As these subjects enmesh\, relationships emerge dictating form and process\, pushing the music with a sense of immediacy. Lion navigates these constraints through techniques developed during the spontaneity of live performance\, an approach which openly embraces contingency as a powerful compositional tool. \nBryce Franich’s Trekchö Ensemble \nBryce Franich is an Asheville-based musician whose work focuses on feedback\, timbre\, and texture. \nHis latest project\, Trekchö Ensemble\, is an improvisational group made up of musicians working in experimental\, improvised\, and jazz music. This performance features Shane McCord\, Clay White\, Landon George\, Ashley Paul\, and Tony Rolando\, combining harmonium\, strings\, winds\, guitar\, gong\, and modular synthesis. Trekchö Ensemble focuses on working with the physical properties of sound: overtone\, resonance\, and the shifting textures that emerge as those elements interact. \nAll ages
