Join us the 4th Wednesday evening of the month throughout the summer at Lake Julian picnic shelter #1 to hear stories from the Veterans writing group, Brothers & Sisters Like These. This program welcomes everyone and is for combat veterans, their friends, and family to listen to and share stories through the arts and creative writing to help heal from wartime experiences. Arrive a little early, between 5-6 to socialize, eat some good food, and learn what resources are available in Buncombe County for veterans and their families. Some of our readers will be Vietnam, Iraqi & Desert Storm Veterans. Please join us for an intimate evening. All are welcome to listen and to share stories of your own or ask questions after the readings. Picnic tables and some seating is available, but feel free to bring your own chairs. In the case of rain only, the shelter is covered. For afternoon thunderstorms with lightning, the program will be cancelled and a new date will be posted.

Emerging and established artists in NC can apply for $500-2,000 in aid
The North Carolina Arts Council understands the important role artists contribute to the vitality, unity and resiliency of our communities. NCAC has established the North Carolina Arts Council Artist Support Grant (ASG) as a regional grant program to support individual artists during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. The program funds professional and artistic development for emerging or established artists to create work, improve their business operations, or bring their work to new audiences.
Funds are granted through 18 regional partners across the state, to ensure a more equitable disbursement of funds to artists in rural and urban areas across the state. Buncombe County is part of Region 17, which includes Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Polk, Rutherford, and Transylvania counties.
Last year, Region 17 received 126 applications and awarded 32 awards totaling $30,088– supporting artists from a variety of different mediums.
This year, applicants have the opportunity to apply for up to $2,000– double what was offered last year. Applicants will also apply directly through the NCAC website to help simplify the application process. Instructions and a virtual application workshop video are available on the AAAC website.
The deadline to apply is September 30.
