An exhibit of paintings, drawings, comic strips, writings and assemblages by self-taught, D.C.-area artist Phil Kurz who was a prescient conduit for topics both emotionally personal and philosophically universal. Phil’s art ranges in style from graphic figures & illustrations to geometric & organic abstractions. Highly-intelligent, serious, honest & sensitive, the schizophrenia that plagued him also informed him.
A percentage of sales of select works will go to the Unicef Safety in School Fund and the Asheville Southside Kitchen in memory of Phil Kurz.
Exhibition catalog available for sale.
Revelry Unique Downtown Events and Carolina Music Planner are proud to present Upland Drive with The Moon and You. The Asheville Masonic Temple’s theatre is a truly awe-inspiring space.

Doors will open at 7pm. Tickets are available online for $10 via EventBrite (plus processing fee), and will be $15 at the door, cash or card.
The show will begin at 7:30pm.
This is an all ages show. Beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.
Upland Drive is a provocative and edgy Asheville-based band with an inspired take on a variety of genres including rock, reggae, jazz, and hip hop. Fueled by the intoxicating sound of the cello and nuanced with soulful vocal harmonies, Upland Drive creates an inviting soundscape full of rich detail, poetic lyricism, adventurous harmonies, and inventive structure. Featuring singer/songwriter/cellist Franklin Keel, vocalist Debra Darling, composer/bassist Ryan Kijanka, and drummer/trumpeter C. Scott Shaw, Upland Drive presents virtuosic and venturesome live performances with a fresh musical approach.
The Moon and You is an Americana duo based in Asheville, NC. Cellist Melissa Hyman and guitarist/banjo player Ryan Furstenberg sing in “voices that sound like they were made for one another” (Bill DeYoung, Connect Savannah). Each is an accomplished songwriter with a distinctive and memorable style. Though they bring to the table the seamless vocal blend and heartfelt lyrics characteristic of folk music, this ain’t your basic folk duo; audible influences include jazz standards, classic country, indie rock and classical music. All of these sources combine to find sweet harmony in The Moon and You’s warm and unconventional arrangements. Perfect for fans of Shovels & Rope, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, and Norman & Nancy Blake

The AAAC is excited to welcome the kindergartners of Ira B. Jones Elementary into the Hall Gallery. The kindergarten classes are working on a new social studies unit called Our Community. In this unit they will be exploring questions like: Why do people work? How we can help our community? What are our community’s needs and wants? The students will be learning about different kinds of neighborhoods like rural, city, suburban, and why they are important.
In art class the students will apply their understanding of these topics by creating a paper collage of their neighborhood. They will use various paper shapes to create a collage of a neighborhood. The neighborhoods will “link” together with a road that “unites” us all as one community.
The creations inspired by this lessons will be on display Monday – Friday, 10 am – 5 pm from May 4 – June 29, 2018.
