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 its 71st year, the Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands returns to downtown Asheville’s U.S. Cellular Center. Filling both the concourse and arena levels of the venue, makers exhibit a variety of craft ranging from contemporary to traditional in works of clay, wood, metal, glass, fiber, natural materials, paper, leather, mixed media, and jewelry. Children Under 12, Free.

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.

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.

In 1945, Izak was born inside the Bergen-Belsen displaced persons camp and sent for adoption in Israel.

The plight of displaced persons come to the fore when Izak and Shep — the almost 70-year-old brothers — finally meet in Canada, then head to a nursing home in Quebec to introduce Shep to his elderly mother, Aida, for the first time
English and Hebrew with English Subtitles

About the Series:
This series is designed to allow us to use film as our window into the minds and culture of Israel.

“Sometimes an artist’s name is right on the money. Having been a frequent traveler through the Carolinas, there is an immediate image conjured up when this moody, haunting version of country folk starts filling up the room. You can see and feel the influence of the Blue Ridge Mountains on Chris Smith, lead singer-songwriter and core creative force of Carolinabound. The simplicity of the songwriting is refreshing, and they’re incredibly easy to listen to, especially on a lazy weekend afternoon. Smith’s vocals are vulnerable, sweet and melancholic in their delivery of lyrics steeped in country and folk traditional topics of love, loss and life experiences. There is nothing groundbreaking in that, just the comfort of knowing this troubadouresque type of performer continues to work in the background while trends fade in and out.”
-Heidi Drockelman(indie-music.com)

“Imagine if Gram Parsons and Townes Van Zandt got together with Will Oldham on a late spring evening to sing songs late into the night. There’s an honest sentiment to these songs that rings clear and creates an atmosphere of wistful nostalgia that quickly covers everything in a comforting cocoon of memory and experience.”
-Joshua Pickard(nooga.com)

This class is an invitation for everyone at every level to explore dance and create movement in a playful way. All levels of movers are welcomed. The class provides different approaches to creating movement and choreography through improvisation. In an exchange of theory and practice, students will learn how to use different sources such as images, text, chance operations, issues and movement as a source for creating dance. In a playful way, we can learn, practice and discuss ways to observe dance, create structure for movement explorations in order to make choices for composition.

Jana Schmueck is a teacher, dancer and choreographer. She received instruction in ballet, jazz and modern dance and continued her dance and dance teacher training as a visiting student at the Palucca School with a focus on jazz at Young Mi Lee, as well as other intensive dance studies in contemporary jazz and Cunningham Technique in New York City.

Her work is influenced by Anna Halprin, Gaga, release technique and many others. She has also received a diploma in business and directed a dance education center for 15 years, where she realized a wide variety of dance educational projects. In 2010, she co-founded Prospect Dance Company with Anne Dietrich. Since 2014 they are artistic directors and founders of TanzART – atelier for dance, movement and art. TanzART is a center for contemporary dance in East Germany, offering classes, workshops, artist in residence programs, performances, and productions with a focus of intercultural and international exchange. From 2008-2017, Jana Schmueck was also a dancer and choreographic assistant in the ensemble of the Remscheid Academy, led by Dr. Ronit. As part of this work she was a guest lecturer in the dance education training of Remscheid Academy. Furthermore Jana Schmueck was involved in several projects focusing on choreography with dance education partners like the École des Sables / Senegal, CND Paris / France, State University Ankara / Turkey. As a freelance dancer she performed at festivals in Ludwigshafen, the Centre National de la Danse -CND in Paris, Movimentos, the Ecole des Sables / Senegal and the Festival ” Un pas vers avant” Côte d’Ivoire or Via Thea.
