In Conversation—Sacred Places: The Future of Asheville’s Historic Religious Buildings
Sunday, January 11, 2026, 2–3pm | Free for Members or included with Museum admission
As congregations shrink and buildings age, there is more uncertainty than ever around the future of our historic churches. Stewards are now tasked with finding creative ways to preserve these architecturally, historically, and culturally important places for generations to come.
Join us for a panel discussion with preservationists from the First Baptist Church, Hopkins Chapel, and the Basilica of St. Lawrence, moderated by Jessie Landl, director of the Asheville Preservation Society.
In 1868, the African American members of Asheville’s Central United Methodist Church formed their own congregation, Hopkins Chapel African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Zion Church. After their chapel burned down in 1907, the community commissioned Richard Sharp Smith to design a new church, meeting in the Smith-designed YMI building while construction was underway. Smith’s Gothic Revival building was one of only four churches constructed by James Vester Miller, a Black master brick mason and contractor for the project.
This panel is organized in conjunction with the exhibition Lasting Legacies: Architecture in Asheville by Richard Sharp Smith, Albert Heath Carrier, and Douglas D. Ellington Supported by the Ellington Family and in part by a grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities, Bruce E. Johnson & Leigh Ann Hamon, and Jim Wilson & Lynne Poirier-Wilson.
Spirited Improv is a 5-week expressive arts and spiritual development experience that invites you to play, heal, and reconnect with your creative essence. Unlike traditional improv, this series isn’t about comedy or performance techniques, it’s about presence, expression, and connection.
Guided by creator Jessica Chilton, a seasoned performer, expressive arts therapist, and spiritual practitioner, you’ll step into a welcoming space where vulnerability is met with love, creativity is encouraged, and every emotion has room to breathe. You’ll explore spontaneous movement, sound, character work, song, storytelling, ritual, and group co-creation. Each session includes grounding meditation, heart-centered intention, and spacious improvisational activities that awaken joy, courage, and curiosity.
Throughout the series, you practice releasing control and trusting the unknown, an experience participants often call “both liberating and deeply healing.” As the group’s trust and connection deepen, a final performance is created. It’s not scripted or rehearsed; instead, it emerges from the collective heart and the spiritual aliveness of the moment.
The closing performance becomes a celebration of everything you’ve reclaimed: your voice, your playfulness, your presence, your courage, and your connection to community.
Women of the Pacific Northwest celebrates the voices, visions and material mastery of female artists working today, with roots from this rich and progressive region. Through the execution of disparate media from bronze, steel, glass, tin, plaster, mylar, printmaking, hair nets, cloth, rubber, wax to paint, these artists have achieved inventive, creative practices originating from critical, generative, inquisition of natural, social or subliminal forces. This exhibition highlights a group of female artists working in diverse media creating art that explores connections to place, whether sociological, environmental or spiritual, in a region supportive of equality, ecology and enterprise. These artists are among today’s pioneers, interpreting universality through personal observation and inventing poetic, transcendent works inspiring greater, pluralistic understanding, connecting us to one another and to the world around us.
Featured artists:
Victoria Adams, Drie Chapek, Jaq Chartier, Susan Dory, Betsy Ebys, Ann Gardner, Emily Gherard, Estuko Ichikawa, Lisa Jarrett, Brenda Mallory, Wendy Red Star, Katy Stone, Susan Zoccola, Marie Watt, and Julie Speidel.

AmiciMusic, the award-winning chamber music organization based in Asheville, returns to the Asheville Art Museum on Thursday, January 22 at 6:30pm with another thrilling chamber music program entitled “JEWISH JAZZ.” This program features clarinetist Seth Kibel from Baltimore along with pianist and Artistic Director Daniel Weiser as they perform and tell the fascinating story about the interconnections between early American Jazz and Klezmer-style music. Those two styles of music came into direct contact in New York City in the early part of the 20th century when the Great Migration of blacks from the South converged with the large influx of Jews escaping pogroms from Eastern Europe. The program features some inspiring Klezmer-style music by Jacob Weinberg and Bela Kovacs as well as some toe-tapping Jazz by Benny Goodman and George Gershwin, including a fantastic arrangement of his “Rhapsody in Blue.” For more info about the program, please visit: https://www.amicimusic.org/concert/jewish-jazz-5-2-2-2/.

Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center presents Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld, an exhibition celebrating the works of mother-daughter artists, Lore Kadden Lindenfeld and Naomi Lindenfeld. Lore, who attended and graduated from Black Mountain College in the 1940s, made a career as a textile designer and educator while continuing to create weavings, fiber collages, artist books, and drawings. Her daughter Naomi creates colored clay objects that are tactile, useful, and visually complex. In the exhibition, the mesmerizing striations of color in Naomi Lindenfeld’s pottery are placed in dynamic conversation with her mother’s innovative textiles, mixed media collages, and drawings.
RECEPTION AND TALK
Join us for the opening reception for Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld hosted at BMCM+AC on Friday, January 30, 2025 from 5:30–8pm.
On Saturday, January 31, 2025 at 11am, Naomi Lindenfeld will give a “Perspectives” talk about Dialogue: Lindenfeld + Lindenfeld and the artistic conversations between works in the exhibition.
