On September 27, 2024 Hurricane Helene changed the High Country forever. In remembrance of that we are hosting a community listening day for people to share their experiences of Hurricane Helene and its aftermath.
She will share the poetry and music created by Lachmann and Tucker that reflect their passion for Catawba, and the ways in which they constructed an artistic community within that place that nurtured the creativity of the campers.
Following the American Civil War, American artists quieted their paintings, embracing blurred contours, muted palettes, and introspective atmospheres. Often considered the moody counterpoint to Impressionism’s vibrant and light-filled canvases, Tonalism offered a harmonious space for respite and reflection in a rapidly changing world.

BRAHM invites performers to respond to our exhibitions in a new program series we’re naming Called to Response. Join Akal Dev Sharonne as she responds to the ceramic works of Mary Lou Higgins’ exhibition Mary Lou Higgins: Sibylline Faces.
At the heart of Andréa Keys Connell’s work is a question: how can the things we make help us hold time, memory, and care? Her ceramic sculptures—often fragmented, patterned, and emotionally charged—explore what it means to endure, to remember, and to repair.
This 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.
