Small-group/in-person program
Join us inside the Museum for family-friendly yoga and mindfulness. Today’s program takes place in our Explore Asheville Exhibition Hall, visiting our special exhibition Beauford Delaney’s Metamorphosis into Freedom. The artist’s pursuit of depicting light as bold abstractions inspires us to find our inner lights, our bold colorful chakras, and let them shine. Our sequence explores the seven chakras and discover our own metamorphosis into freedom. Bring your own mat (required) and props (optional). Face coverings and social distancing are required. All ages and abilities are welcome; recommended for visitors aged 5+ (children must be accompanied by an adult). Space is limited; more info and register at ashevilleart.org/events.

Donation Based Yoga in the Park with Tara Eschenroeder
May we align our breath to sync with the beating of our hearts, healing ourselves and this planet from the inside out. Wandering through this life we connect with the elements. Through the earth, our breath, and Yoga we ground deep in our roots. The air is wild, free and full of possibility. Water nourishes our souls while reminding us to go with the flow. We ignite the fire of passion and light an awakening within, becoming one with the elements and connecting under one sun.
*This practice will take place in Asheville, NC at Montford Park. The exact location will be sent after registration.

Terpsicorps Theatre of Dance, a renowned professional ballet company that brings Asheville vivid cutting-edge dance every summer, is ready to get back on stage after a year of shut downs and restrictions. This summer’s three shows and gala will be a huge celebration, including outdoor events where the audience can safely enjoy the first big party since covid numbers have decreased in Buncombe County. The renowned dance company will build a stage in the River Arts District and put together a stylish and festive way for people to enjoy dance, music, amazing food and drink. The events pay tribute to local philanthropists, John Cram and Leah Karpen, both major supporters in the arts and each show is dedicated to their memory.
The dance performances will showcase critically acclaimed dancers handpicked from companies across the US and abroad. Now in her nineteenth season as artistic director, Heather Maloy, a nationally recognized choreographer, is known for her creative stories that sometimes have humor, shed light on the complexities of the human experience and entertain. The company, typically known for making bold statements on current events, is choosing instead to focus on providing this summer’s audience an escape from them. Highlights on the program include Salvatore Aiello’s Senza Fretta, Maloy’s comedic crowd pleaser, Couch Potatoes, and the world premiere of Famous Last Words, created to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and featuring local comedian, Tom Chalmers.
The company has chosen to present this season’s performances at Foundy Street in the River Arts District. Audiences can choose from several different events. Opening Night features a post-performance dance party at Rabbit Rabbit. For families, the Saturday morning Family Matinee has a shortened run time, kid friendly repertoire and a more economical price tag. Gala Night, a “must” for performing arts patrons, is a full evening event, starting with dinner and drinks and finishing off with dessert with the world class dancers. The gala is being touted as the best party to happen in Asheville since 2019.
The 2021 season is being sponsored by Mercedes-Benz of Winston-Salem and donors, Patty and Malcolm Brown.

The Street Dances have been a tradition for over 100 years in Downtown Hendersonville! They began in 1918, at the end of World War I, when the city welcomed home its soldiers from the War by celebrating in the streets, and became nationally known after they were included in the guidebook Blue Ridge Music Trails, Finding A Place In The Circle, written by Fred S. Fussell. The guidebook was winner of the first PRESERVE AMERICA Presidential Award for Heritage Tourism.
The sounds of fiddles and banjos playing at the Street Dances have been a part of Henderson County’s heritage for more than 100 years, calling people of all ages to journey to downtown Hendersonville to enjoy toe-tapping-good mountain music.
Hendersonville comes alive with people listening to the traditional mountain and bluegrass music performed by a live band, square dancing and special appearances are often made by area clogging teams for a foot stomping evening.
Bring a chair and enjoy an evening of live music from 7 pm-9 pm. The audience seating area opens after 5:30 pm, early admission is prohibited. Admission is free. Alcoholic beverages, backpacks, or coolers are prohibited.
Enjoy free, live music at the Visitor Center every Monday & Friday evening in July and August! Click here to learn more about Monday Night Live! and here to learn more about Music on Main Concerts.
