Nov 1 @ 12:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co.

Get ready for Halloween Movie Week at Asheville Pizza “Boo & View” from Friday, October 26 to Thursday, November 1st!

Tis the season for spooky movies, and we have something for people of all ages and tastes. Check showtimes on our website here:
https://www.ashevillebrewing.com/movies/

The week’s movie lineup is…

MONSTER HOUSE IN 3D (2 matinees each day):
This 2006 classic from producer Steven Spielberg is always ranked as one of the best Halloween movies for kids. It’s hilarious, action-packed, and just a little bit spooky. There will be 2 matinees each day in 3D except on Tuesday and Wednesday when we show it in regular 2D.

28 DAYS LATER (Friday to Wednesday at 10:00pm except on Saturday, Oct. 27th):
Oscar-winning writer/director Danny Boyle flipped the zombie genre on it’s head in 2002 long before The Walking Dead appeared. It’s considered one of the best horror films of all time, and is absolutely terrifying on the big screen in a dark theater.

ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (Saturday, Oct. 27th @ 10:00pm):
Rocky returns for a special Halloween show with a live shadowcast (Unexpected Pleasures) performing along with the movie. This will sell out in advance, so get your tickets early. Advance $6.00 tickets are now on sale at the ticket link above. ADULTS ONLY SHOW, AGES 18+.

BEETLEJUICE ~ 30th Anniversary (October 29 – 31 @ 7:00pm):
The Ghost with the Most is back! We sold out 2 shows last year with people begging us to bring it back. It’s weird, wild, hilarious and we expect people dancing in their seats at the dinner party scene. Advance $3.00 tickets are now on sale at the ticket link above.

FROST/NIXON
Nov 2 all-day
North Carolina Stage Company

Wednesdays – Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sunday Matinees at 2:00pm
Additional Saturday Matinees on October 27 and November 3, 2018
British talk-show host David Frost has become a lowbrow laughingstock. Richard M. Nixon has just resigned the United States presidency in total disgrace over Vietnam and the Watergate scandal. Determined to resurrect his career, Frost risks everything on a series of in-depth interviews in order to extract an apology from Nixon. The cagey Nixon, however, is equally bent on redeeming himself in his nation’s eyes. In the television age, image is king, and both men are desperate to out-talk and upstage each other as the cameras roll. The result is the interview that sealed a president’s legacy.

“Structured as a prize fight between two starkly ambitious men in professional crisis, FROST/NIXON makes it clear that the competitor who controls the camera reaps the spoils.” —NY Times.

A Sense of Place: Interpretations by Kari Morton and Lauren Rutten
Nov 2 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Flow Gallery

Show runs through November 7
Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 10am – 4pm

This beautiful exhibit celebrates the works of photographer Lauren Rutten and quilter Kari Morton. What these two artists share in common are a partnership in the five-woman, artist-owned Flow Gallery in historic downtown Marshall, and a deep love of Madison County, their newly chosen home.

In 2015, Lauren and her husband Andy, traveled the US for one year searching for a home. “From the very moment I arrived in Marshall while on this journey, I had a sense of having dreamt of this place since childhood – I knew this was where I wanted to be.

I have found that my life here is not confined within four walls, so I’m very interested in reflections, when the light shines through a structure, or a barn begins to dilapidate so the outside and inside merge.

Marshall finds itself in a season of change. Many families who are moving here to homestead live alongside families who have farmed here for generations. This collection hopes to show the range of those who have come to call Marshall home, as well as the hard reality of homesteading and its immense beauty, which are in direct relationship with each other here. In this land I dig my hands in the earth and muddy my feet on the ground, while at the same time experiencing the transcendence of being and connecting to so much beyond my body. I hope those who view these photos might experience this too.”

Kari and her husband, Mike, moved to Madison County in 2012, after having lived a fairly nomadic life. They decided Madison County was the place to put down roots and call home.

“This collection is inspired by my immediate world, the things I live with and the things I see – the garden in my front yard, the chickens in the back yard, the buildings in downtown Marshall, where I spend many hours working at Flow and serving as a guardian ad litem in the county courthouse. Each of my pieces tell a story of connection, to my community, to my world. I love sharing this part of myself with others.”

Flow Gallery is located on Main Street in the historic, picturesque town of Marshall, which lies along the French Broad River, just 25 minutes north of Asheville, NC. The gallery is in its 8th year of business and showcases the work of over 65 talented, regional artists.

In Times of Seismic Sorrows
Nov 2 @ 10:00 am – 6:00 pm
Center for Craft

When reflecting on the current state of the environment, it seems that we have entered into times of seismic sorrows. Carbon emissions, water pollution, fracking, and changing climate patterns all point to a troubling reality with serious consequences for human and non-human populations. Through weavings, installations, sculpture, and print, artists Rena Detrixhe and Tali Weinberg (Tulsa, OK) explore the complex relationship between humans and the planet, offering insights, expressing grief, and creating space for resilience and change.

In Time of Seismic Sorrows is curated by Marilyn Zapf and organized by the Center for Craft. The Center for Craft is supported in part by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

12th Annual Lynn Boggess Exhibition At The Haen Gallery
Nov 2 @ 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm
The Haen Gallery

The Haen Gallery, located in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, is proud to present their 12th Annual Lynn Boggess Exhibition. The exhibit will run through November.

Lynn Boggess is one of the most unique and noteworthy American landscape painters of the 21st Century. He resides in West Virginia, a state whose diverse mountains, forests, and rivers provide abundant inspiration for the artist’s plein air paintings. In place of brushes he uses palette knives and trowels to thickly layer the broad sweeping strokes and exquisite fine detail that capture all the colors of the seasons in rushing rivers, snow covered hillsides, and thick forest vegetation. Mr. Boggess’ work is recognized internationally for its incredible three-dimensional texture, rendered solely in oils. These remarkable paintings combine elements of Abstract Expressionism and Photorealism to create a style that is totally unique and original.

The Haen Gallery in Asheville is located at 52 Biltmore Avenue between City Bakery and Chestnut. There is a parking garage at the Aloft hotel across the street, another garage just up the hill, as well as street parking.

The gallery is open Monday through Saturday 11am-6pm & Sunday 12-5pm. For more information: 828-254-8577 or www.thehaengallery.com. Gallery contacts: Chris Foley, Director; Leslie Logemann, Gallery Manager.

With locations in Asheville and Brevard, The Haen Gallery offers the work of established artists whose distinctive and unique style sets it apart from ordinary and imitative efforts. Visit the website at thehaengallery.com.

Asheville Smash Don’t Trash!
Nov 4 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm
New Belgium Brewing

CompostNow, Asheville GreenWorks, & New Belgium Brewing are teaming up to fight scary Halloween food waste!

Most of the 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins produced in the U.S. end up in the landfill. We think there’s a better way to use old pumpkins which is why we’re hosting a free community event “Smash Don’t Trash” on Sunday, November 4th from 12pm-4pm at New Belgium Brewing.

Community members are encouraged to bring their old pumpkins to be composted rather than landfilled. The event will host pumpkin smashing stations, kid-friendly activities, and music on the spacious lawn at New Belgium Brewery. You can also get a $1 off the Voodoo Ranger Atomic Pumpkin beer while supplies last!

All compostables will be processed by Danny’s Dumpster, a family-owned hauling and processing business in Asheville. All compost created from “Smash Don’t Trash” will be shared with Sand Hill Community Garden and Asheville GreenWork’s Sand Hill Orchard and Nursery.

Can’t make the event? There will be a dumpster on Craven Street in front of the brewery all weekend long! Drop your pumpkins off and they’ll still be composted!

All are welcome! Join us for a smashing good time!
