SUMMARY:Hawk Watch
DESCRIPTION:All throughout September\, guests are invited to join Grandfather Mountain’s naturalists as they count and celebrate the annual spectacle of fall raptor migration. Participants can observe the migration from viewing locations on Linville Peak (across the Mile High Swinging Bridge) and Half Moon Overlook (the first major overlook when entering the park). Included with admission. \nRaptors are birds of prey\, such as hawks\, eagles\, owls and vultures. The telltale signs of the raptor are sharp talons\, a hooked upper bill and keen eyesight. While some raptors remain in place during winter\, most will travel south\, where food is more abundant. Because it sits along the eastern escarpment of the Appalachian Mountains\, and its rocky peaks generate strong thermal uplifts and allow excellent visibility\, Grandfather Mountain is a prime viewing spot for this phenomenon. \nPerhaps the most dramatic visual display comes courtesy of the broad-winged hawk\, which migrates in groups of hundreds or thousands\, called kettles. Those sightings are most common around the second or third week of September. Grandfather Mountain is one of more than 300 Hawk Watch sites officially designated by the Hawk Migration Association of North America. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Arlee Mains - A Life in Watauga
DESCRIPTION:Image Credit: Arlee Mains\, Wash Day\, 1997\, acrylic on canvas board. Promised Gift\, Collection of Martha & Terry Satterwhite. \nJune 28 – November 29\, 2025 | Rankin East Gallery \nThis intimate installation of ten “memory paintings” by Arlee Mains (1935–2019) offers a vivid and affectionate portrait of early 20th-century life in the mountains of western North Carolina. A lifelong resident of Watauga County and a self-taught artist\, Mains drew upon family stories\, personal recollections\, and regional traditions to create painted scenes of everyday Appalachian life. Her works portray the rhythms of domestic labor\, childhood mischief\, seasonal rituals\, and communal joy—milking cows at dawn\, dancing on a Saturday night\, or greeting the mailman after a deep snow. Each painting is paired with a handwritten narrative by the artist\, capturing her distinctive voice and grounding these images in lived experience. These stories have been transcribed and recorded by a local community member\, and are available to hear at a listening station in the center of the gallery. Mains’ gift was not just in recalling what happened\, but in conjuring the texture of memory: the smell of lye soap\, the bite of cold air before a sled ride\, the warmth of apple pie after church. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Mary Lou Higgins - Sibylline Faces
DESCRIPTION:Image Credit: MaryLou Higgins\, Remembering\, 1993\, Gesso on canvas\, BRAHM Permanent Collection 2024.007.015\, Photographed by Joshua White \nJune 7 – November 15\, 2025 | Schaefer Gallery \nThis exhibiton presents a selection of ceramic works and drawings by MaryLou Higgins (1926–2012)\, an artist active in North Carolina throughout her prolific career. Best known for her illustrative approach to ceramics\, Higgins worked across multiple media\, creating a body of work defined by intricate draftsmanship and a focus on the female figure. \nA voracious illustrator\, Higgins filled the surfaces of her vessels and forms with an evolving repertory of female faces and figures\, rendered with baroque embellishment and a distinct physicality. Often gilded and highly ornamented\, these works foreground the female visage\, as do the elongated or voluptuous silhouettes of the forms themselves. Her drawing practice extended beyond ceramics into works on paper\, canvas\, and handmade furniture\, where her dense\, gestural approach to line and composition further reveals her interest in stylized figuration. \nHiggins often collaborated with her husband\, Edward Higgins\, who at times constructed the ceramic forms she adorned. The figures that populate her work have been compared to the Sibyls—prophetesses of ancient Greece who were believed to articulate divine revelations in rhythmic verse while in a trance. The exaggerated features and expressive gestures of her figures also recall the stylized bodies of late 16th-century Italian\, or Mannerist\, painting\, suggesting an engagement with historical representations of the feminine form. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Exhibition: The Shape of Color - Understanding Color Theory in BRAHM's Collection
DESCRIPTION:Image Credit: Anne Wall Thomas\, The Way to There\, 2015\, mixed-media on paper\, 26 inches wide x 30 inches high (framed)\, Gift of Mary Wall Garren in honor of Anne Wall Thomas\, BRAHM Permanent Collection 2024.006.001 \nMarch 15 – December 27\, 2025 | Cannon Gallery \nColor is fundamental to human perception\, yet its nature has fascinated and perplexed philosophers\, artists\, and scientists for centuries. Through observation\, experimentation\, and artistic practice\, they have developed theories to define and manipulate color as both a science and a sensation. From Antiquity through the 20th century\, these evolving ideas have shaped how we see and use color in art and design. \nThis exhibition explores key milestones in the history of color theory through seven case studies\, each centered on a single work of art from BRAHM’s Permanent Collection. Alongside these works\, diagrams and historical models illustrate how color has been classified\, studied\, and understood over time. By examining these varied approaches\, The Shape of Color invites us to consider the ways in which color influences our perception\, emotions\, and the visual world around us. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Daingerfield & The Tonalist Instinct
DESCRIPTION:Image Credit: Elliot Daingerfield\, Landscape\, undated\, watercolor on paper\, 9 1/4 x 10 3/4 inches; Framed: 19 7/8 x 21 1/4 x 2 inches. On loan from The Johnson Collection\, Spartanburg\, South Carolina \nMay 31 – October 19\, 2025 | Fort Gallery \nDaingerfield & The Tonalist Instinct explores the development of Tonalism\, a distinctly American artistic movement responding to early modernist impulses in painting. Emerging in the latter half of the 19th century\, Tonalism was characterized by subtle color harmonies\, soft atmospheric effects\, and contemplative\, mood-driven scenes. Often emphasizing twilight or dawn landscapes\, tonalist works evoke introspective\, serene\, or even ominous atmospheres\, prioritizing mood and emotional resonance over detailed realism. \nCentral to the exhibition is Elliott Daingerfield (1859–1932)\, one of North Carolina’s most celebrated artists. Daingerfield’s connection to Tonalism is reflected in his expressive interpretations of the Southern landscape\, particularly around Blowing Rock\, where he summered for over four decades. His art is distinguished by poetic subtlety and spiritual undertones—qualities highly valued by tonalist painters. Although Daingerfield resisted a single or dogmatic approach\, Tonalism profoundly shaped his artistic evolution. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Jim Lauderdale at The App Theatre
DESCRIPTION:At any given time\, you’re likely to find Jim Lauderdale making music\, whether he’s laying down a new track in the studio or working through a spontaneous melody at his home in Nashville. And if he’s not actively crafting new music\, he’s certainly thinking about it. \n“It’s a constant challenge to try to keep making better and better records\, write better and better songs. I still always feel like I’m a developing artist\,” Lauderdale says. This may be a surprising sentiment from a man who’s won two Grammys\, released 34 full-length albums\, and taken home the Americana Music Association’s coveted Wagonmaster Award. But his forthcoming album “Game Changer” is convincing evidence that the North\nCarolina native is only continuing to hone his craft. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:BRAHM: Movies at the Museum: Dulatown
DESCRIPTION:Image credit: Various branches of the Dula family come together at the Dulatown gravesite. Courtesy of Leslie Dula Mckesson. \nAbout the film\nDulatown is a documentary short about a community in Lenoir\, NC established from the land of a slave owner (Alfred Dula) bequeathed to his slave (Harriet) and their eight children. Dulatown remains home to the extended Dula clan and embraces its history at a bi-annual reunion where in recent years both African-American and White Dula relatives come together around their shared genealogy to acknowledge they have more in common than just a surname. Using contemporary interviews with members of the Dula family alongside historical images\, this film weaves an insightful tale of history\, family\, race and identity. \nWebsite
