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.

In mid November in the midst of the largest wildfire in California history Sierra Nevada Brewing, based out of Chico, CA called upon breweries to help with raising funds for The Camp Fire relief effort.
Collaboration has always been a theme among craft breweries and we decided to commit to supporting this cause. In the spirit of the industry’s commradery we invited the guys from Taylor Brothers Brewing, who will soon join us as a part of Marion’s craft beer scene, to brew this special batch with us.
We’re excited for the future of craft beer in our city and grateful to represent Marion in this national craft beer industry fundraising campaign.
We’ll release Marion’s version of the Resilence Butte County Proud IPA in our taproom on January 25th. 100% of all sales will go directly to the Sierra Nevada Camp Fire Relief Fund.
Below is a press release from Sierra Nevada.
When the Camp Fire started in the hills above our Chico brewery on November 8, 2018, it soon became the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. The fire burned more than 153,000 acres, killed at least 85 people, and destroyed more than 13,000 homes. Many of our employees and community members were severely impacted by this tragic event.
In the days following the fire, we announced plans to brew Resilience Butte County Proud IPA, a fundraiser beer for Camp Fire relief. We committed to brewing the beer and donating 100% of the sales to the Sierra Nevada Camp Fire Relief Fund, aimed at long-term community rebuilding support. And we asked every brewery in the country to do it with us.
We sent out the “bat signal” calling our friends in the industry, asking our suppliers to donate ingredients, asking other breweries (our competitors) to donate their time and labor costs, and asking our wholesalers and retailers to carry the beer for free. It was a big ask, and we never could have anticipated the response.
More than 1,400 breweries signed up to brew Resilience. Our suppliers donated ingredients to every brewery nationwide. Wholesalers and retailers agreed to carry the beer and donate every dollar they received. All of them agreed to do this for free to benefit people they had never met.
In all, Resilience Butte County Proud IPA should hit the market in mid-late December more than 17,000 barrels—or 4.2 million pints—strong. Every dollar Sierra Nevada receives will go to those impacted by the Camp Fire.
Thank you to the brewing community. Thank you to our suppliers. Thank you to our wholesalers and retailers. And thank you to every single customer who is helping us rebuild our Butte County community—one pint at a time.

Join The Collider for inspiring evening, featuring an exciting adventure-travel documentary from award-winning producer & director Garrett Martin. “Unbounded: A Journey into Patagonia” follows a young, unaided crew of four as they hike and packraft for four months into the infinite region known as Patagonia.
The event will be held at The Collider in downtown Asheville on January 31, 2019, with proceeds benefiting our Thomas R. Karl Internship Program. Doors open at 6:30pm, and the film will begin at 7:00pm. The 70 minute film follows with a panel discussion with Martin, founder of video production company VentureLife Films, an Asheville-based independent film production and environmental media company. Other panel guests will be announced soon.
Tickets are $20 per person, $15 for active Friends of The Collider*, or free with the purchase of a one-year Friends of The Collider gift. Tickets for those with a valid student ID are $10. *Active Friends of The Collider must email [email protected] or call at 214-796-1494 for an exclusive discount code.
The crew’s journey in “Unbounded” is based along the Greater Patagonian Trail, a relatively unknown route that is now the longest continual trail in South America. The film focuses on discovering the indescribable factors of the regions, learning the history and culture of people living amongst the Andes Mountains, and bringing to light the incredible beauty of the area – all in an effort to help raise awareness of the need to preserve this untamed, but delicate, environment. Despite the crew’s lack of experience and support, they manage to document awe-inspiring landscapes and people of the region, interviewing top environmentalists across Chile, and trekking across 700 km of one of the roughest and most unforgiving regions in the world.
The Thomas R. Karl Internship Program was established in honor of Tom Karl upon his retirement as Director of NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. This program provides semester-long internships for undergraduates seeking to enter this growing field. All proceeds of this event directly benefit this internship program and will fund more opportunities for students to work with the climate solution providers that are members of The Collider.
