Folkmoot USA was born in 1983, when Waynesville surgeon Dr. Clinton Border accompanied a local square dance team to a folk festival in Sidmouth, England. Upon his return, Border began to champion Waynesville as the perfect location for an international folk festival in the US, and the first Folkmoot USA was held in 1984. \u201cBorder was convinced that Western North Carolina, which was already steeped in tradition and dedicated to the preservation of its own heritage, was the perfect location for an international folk festival in the United States,\u201d says interim executive director Alicia Blanton. More than 40 years later, it\u2019s safe to say he was right. \u201cFolkmoot is part of the fabric of Western North Carolina,\u201d Blanton says. \u201cIt has been named by the state legislature as North Carolina\u2019s International Folk Festival.\u201d<\/p>\n

The festival, Folkmoot USA International Day, takes place every year in July. Folkmoot USA has established year-round programming from its headquarters, the Folkmoot Friendship Center, located in Waynesville\u2019s historic Hazelwood Elementary School. The Friendship Center hosts events in the Queen Auditorium, offers a variety of spaces as venue rental and acts as the home for service organizations and community partners as well as a number of fine art and craft studios. Kayla Nielson operates her boutique pottery studio, Gratitude Pottery, at the center. \u201cI love the historic building and beauty of the local community, but most importantly I love the people at Folkmoot\u2014a blend of artisans and healers all working together in harmony,\u201d says Nielson.<\/p>\n

The Folkmoot Friendship Center is a testament to the nonprofit\u2019s growth beyond its annual festival into a pillar of the community. \u201cThey are much more than a festival,\u201d says Nielson. \u201cIt\u2019s a nonprofit that is bringing a lot of value and depth to the community. Their multicultural programming and year-round events, along with the activities from all of the Folkmoot Studios have made this a buzzing community hive and it\u2019s magical to see the growth of the organization include local artisans, healers, musicians, dancers and more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ken Czarnomski, Blue Ridge Naturalist, cartographer and fine art illustrator, creates his art from a studio in the Friendship Center, where he keeps an open-door policy for visitors. \u201cUnlike my former studio, which was private, Folkmoot provides exposure to the public and other creatives who share a similar passion for the arts,\u201d he says. \u201cThis old school building from the 1920s, with high ceilings, wood floors and generous daylighting, encourages me to explore and refine my artistic styles.\u201d<\/p>\n

This openness in both physical layout and philosophy is reflective of the nonprofit\u2019s name. \u201cFolkmoot is an Old English word meaning \u2018meeting of the people,\u2019\u201d says Czarnomski. \u201cIts totally invitational foundation has been operating as a nonprofit for 40 years, as an asset to WNC because it welcomes people of culturally diverse backgrounds and interests from around the world and celebrates our connection through music, dance, art, health and the spirit of community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clay Sayre, a studio artist at Folkmoot\u2019s Friendship Center, calls Folkmoot a feather in the cap of Waynesville. \u201cThis is an incredible place with such an important mission for the community, supporting the arts through community outreach and opportunities,\u201d he says. \u201cIt is vital, I think, to preserve that through continued support from the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are many ways to support Folkmoot through involvement and attendance in September. The month kicks off with a Folkmoot Live! performance by the Black Sea Beat Society, a rock \u2018n\u2019 roll group that blends traditional Balkan, Turkish and Middle Eastern music, on Thursday, September 5.<\/p>\n

The studios of the Folkmoot Friendship Center are a stop on the Haywood County Arts Council Studio Tour on Saturday, September 21, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, September 22, from noon to 4 p.m. Also on September 21, the Center celebrates 101 Years of Hazelwood Elementary with opportunities for those who attended or worked at the school to visit and reminisce. Students at SOAR Academy, an adventure-based boarding school for students with learning disabilities that is headquartered in the Friendship Center, will receive tours of the oldest parts of the building. There will be an exhibit about the school\u2019s history by Alex McKay, capturing the stories of the people who taught, learned and worked at Hazelwood Elementary.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, September 26, modern abstract artist Nina Howard will partner with cellist Michael Fitzpatrick for Healing Through Color & Sound, a live painting and music performance beginning at 6:30 p.m. Howard\u2019s artwork will be on display in the Queen Auditorium this season, with a percentage of sales contributing to Folkmoot\u2019s multicultural programming, and Fitzpatrick will perform a Folkmoot Live! concert Friday, September 27, at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cFolkmoot will continue to honor the past while we embrace our next steps for the future,\u201d says Blanton. \u201cWe offer unique opportunities to celebrate many cultures, including our own local cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Folkmoot Friendship Center is located at 112 Virginia Avenue, Building B, Waynesville. For more information, including a detailed events calendar, visit Folkmoot.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
