Naturalist Day Hike at Grandfather with Speckled Trout Outfitters

Lindsay

Have you ever been on a hike and wondered what flower that was, what tree that was, or what bird just sang?

With loads of fun tips, tricks, and knowledge about many native species of Western North Carolina, Hiking Guide and naturalist Ellie will lead a naturalism workshop and hike centered around the species of Grandfather Mountain. As we move up in elevation, we will explore how species composition changes, enter a “mountaintop island,” and learn about the glaciation that was behind it. This hike will be plant and botany-centric, but other critters will be discussed!

Cost: $25. Poles can be rented for $10.

You can read more about Ellie & her background here.

To sign up, call The Speckled Trout Outfitters shop at 828-773-8852.

admin — Fri, 28 May 2021 18:36:02 +0000

Light at the Seam, a new collection from North Carolina poet Joseph Bathanti, is an exploration of mountaintop removal in southern Appalachian coal country.

More than mere cautionary tale, this is a volume of hope and wonder. The speaker: Joseph Bathanti, former poet laureate of North Carolina (2012–14) and recipient of the North Carolina Award in Literature, is the author of seventeen books. He is the McFarlane Family Distinguished Professor of Interdisciplinary Education at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina.

Appalachian Summer Festival: Maeve Gilchrist featuring Aizuri Quartet & Kyle Sanna: The Harpweaver

A Broyhill Chamber Series Event Sponsored by McDonald’s of Boone

Maeve Gilchrist (harp, vocals) Kyle Sanna (guitar) Aizuri Quartet Emma Frucht and Miho Saegusa, Violins Ayane Kozasa, Viola Karen Ouzounian, Cello

Harpist and composer Maeve Gilchrist’s new offering The Harpweaver plays on the idea of artistic nostalgia. When we can’t be with those that we love, surely the next best thing is to experience the catharsis of familiar sounds; notes and words that bring a sense of connection, possibility and joy. Originally from Edinburgh, Gilchrist — a migrant musician — has been making her mark as a ground-breaking harpist on the streets of New York and Boston for for nearly two decades through her collaborations with The Silkroad Project, Nic Gareiss, Viktor Krauss, Ambrose Akinmusire, Darol Anger, Solas and Okkyung Lee. With The Harpweaver, Gilchrist steps into her own as a composer and producer and illuminates her roots as a traditional folk musician through the prism of luscious string parts, electronic manipulation and an archived recitation of “The Ballad of the Harpweaver,” by the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, a celebrity of Jazz-Age America.

In addition to “The Harpweaver” program, the Grammy-nominated Aizuri Quartet (who recently appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert accompanying Wilco in a performance of “Poor Places”) will bring a selection of their trademark exploratory repertoire juxtaposing the timeless old with strikingly new and exhilarating string compositions.

Whose Line Is It Anyway? meets The Tony Awards. Every song is fresh. Every scene is new. Every night is different. It’s all improvised and it’s all funny. The New York Times calls Broadway’s Next Hit Musical “Hilarious!” Time Out NY says “At last! A musical of, for, and by the people.” Broadway’s Next Hit Musical is the only unscripted theatrical awards show. Have you heard of the TONY awards? Well, Broadway’s Next Hit Musical is…The PHONY Awards! The audience members write down made up song titles and our master improvisers gather these suggestions and present them as “nominated songs” for this coveted award. We create spontaneous scenes and songs filled with great dancing, catchy melodies, and tons of laughter. The audience votes for their favorite song and watches as the cast turns that song into a full blown improvised musical – complete with memorable characters, witty dialogue, and plot twists galore. BNHM has been seen recently throughout the United States and in New York City at The Triad Theater, The Tribeca Film Festival, and at The New York Musical Theater Festival, among many other locations. Under the direction of improv veterans Rob Schiffmann and Deb Rabbai, TheaterWeek hailed the show as “brilliant” and The New York Post called Broadway’s Next Hit Musical “remarkable.” Don’t miss the next great American musical — it could be written by YOU!

Helene and Stephen Weicholz Global Film Series presents Playground (Un monde)

In French with English subtitles Belgium, not rated, directed by Laura Wandel, 2021, drama, 72 min In this debut feature by writer-director Laura Wandel, the everyday reality of grade school is seen from a child’s-eye-view as an obstacle course of degradation and abuse. Following 7-year-old Nora and her big brother Abel, we see Nora struggling to fit in before finding her place on the schoolyard. One day, she notices Abel being bullied by other kids, and though she rushes to protect him by warning their father, Abel forces her to remain silent, while he endures more humiliation and harassment by his peers. Transposing the gritty realism of such filmmakers as Jacques Audiard and the Dardennes Brothers to the inner world of kids, Wandel crafts an empathetic and visceral portrait of the cruelty of children, and the failure of adults to protect them. Shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best International Film. For tickets go to: https://appsummer.org/event/playground-un-monde/

Helene and Stephen Weicholz Global Film Series presents Belfast

In English with English subtitles United Kingdom, PG-13, directed by Kenneth Branagh, 2021, drama, 98 minutes Director Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical film chronicles the life of a working-class family and their young son’s childhood during the tumult of the late 1960s in the Northern Ireland capital. Surrounded by sporadic violence and growing danger, nine-year-old Buddy finds himself confronted with the ugly reality of sectarian conflict. And, as the suffocating stranglehold of increasing turmoil tightens around his once-peaceful working-class neighborhood, Buddy tries his best to understand The Troubles — after all, someone must be responsible for forcing people to flee their homes. Now, Buddy’s family must come face to face with a nearly impossible, life-altering decision: stay or start packing?

Branagh won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for this film at this year’s Oscars. The film also stars Dame Judi Dench and Ciaran Hinds, both of whom were nominated in the Supporting Actor categories.

Appalachian Summer Festival: Boone 150: A Celebration of Boone’s History

Lindsay — Wed, 11 May 2022 20:23:46 +0000

The Lunch and Learn Lecture Series features interactive and informative programming that provides a behind-the-scenes view of the festival’s offerings in the visual arts, music, theater and dance. Film Screening: DocuAppalachia: A Half Century Focus on the Environment. In 2017 an untitled, silent 16mm film reel from the 1970s was discovered in storage in Boone, NC. The heavily spliced film, made by local photographer George Flowers, juxtaposes images of idyllic Appalachian landscapes with piles of trash, rusting vehicles, black smoke, dirty water and a pig. When Flowers made the film, he was clearly influenced by the psychedelic culture of the day as well as by views at that time about environmental conditions. The 1970s were a watershed moment in American environmental history. Partly because of images like those that George Flowers captured, the federal government enacted sweeping environmental laws. Now, 50 years later, what might a Flowers-like film reflect? DocuAppalachia compares scenes from the Flowers film to those same scenes in the 21st century and reflects on what has changed and what has remained the same in the rural southern Appalachian mountains. Following the screening of this short film, participants will enjoy an engaging panel discussion that reflects on the impact of environmental protection legislation and on what has changed and what has remained the same in the rural southern Appalachian mountains. Panelists: Beth Davison, filmmaker; Dr. Kristan Cockerill, film co-director; and Dr. Eric Plaag, Digital Watauga. Event is Free - Registration Required For more info: https://appsummer.org/event/boone-150-a-celebration-of-boones-history/

BRAHM: The Banjo from Africa to Appalachia

Lindsay — Thu, 02 Jun 2022 16:21:01 +0000

Image credit: The oldest known banjo, c. 1770-1777, from the Surinamese Creole culture. Owned by an enslaved person and collected by J. G. Stedman in the 1770s. Calabash gourd, sheepskin soundboard, wooden neck. Part of the collection at The Dutch: Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen.

The modern banjo is an instrument commonly associated with the Appalachian region and Bluegrass music, but the origins of this instrument extend beyond the rolling hills of the Southern mountains, to West Africa. The banjo has evolved over the generations from a gourd body with gut strings to a metal resonator body and steel strings like we see today.

This program will be led by Mark Freed, the Director of Cultural Resources for the Town of Boone and Banjo Scholar. This will be both parts lecture and demonstration, with Freed performing tunes and techniques for each iteration of the instrument.

At 64 minutes, it is one of Disney's shortest animated features and is considered to be among the greatest animated films of all time. The film will be screened at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 16.

BRAHM: Mount Mitchell and the Black Mountains

admin — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 15:16:11 +0000

Presented by Appalachian State University

Don't miss App State Professor Emeritus Tim Silver for an eye-opening discussion of his book, Mount Mitchell and the Black Mountains: An Environmental History of the Highest Peaks in Eastern America.

In his work on this book, Silver drew on both the historical record and his experience as a backpacker and fly fisherman in the region. He recounts the story of Elisha Mitchell, the renowned University of North Carolina professor for whom the mountain is named and who fell to his death there in 1857.

But nature’s stories — of forest fires, chestnut blight, competition between plants and animals, insect invasions, air pollution, and climate change — are also part of the narrative, making it the first history of the Appalachians in which the natural world gets equal time with human actions. Only by understanding the dynamic between people and nature, Silver believes, can we begin to protect the mountains for future generations.

The book won the 2003 Ragan Old North State Award for the best work of non-fiction by a North Carolina writer. It also received the Philip D. Reed Memorial Award from the Southern Environmental Law Center, recognizing Silver’s work as the year’s best writing on the southern environment.

About the Speaker:

Silver earned his Ph.D. at the College of William and Mary and taught in the App State Department of History for 37 years. Specializing in environmental history, he wrote two books, co-authored a third, and published numerous articles in scholarly journals and popular magazines. Website

BRAHM: In the Fray: Black Women in Craft 1850-1910

admin — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 15:54:22 +0000

Image credit: Wilma A. Dunaway’s Slavery and Emancipation in the Mountain South: Sources, Evidence, and Methods

The period, between 1850 to 1910, offers a particular insight into 60 years of Black women’s craft practices on, off, and after the plantation, to focus on the relationship between craft and Black life to demonstrate how craft is intertwined in African American history. Through the horrors of enslavement, Black women exemplified mastery of process and material knowledge. Mellanee Goodman will discuss the forced labor of enslaved women in the upper South, including the Southern Appalachian Mountains, as a network of craftwork in which these women were textile practitioners who produced apparel and other textile goods for their enslavers and the general population of the plantation.

About the Speaker

Mellanee Goodman is a craft researcher. During the last three years, she has been engaged in studying the history of Black craftswomen in the upper South, including Southern Appalachia, from 1850 to 1910. While most objects created by enslaved or formerly enslaved Black craftswomen no longer exist nor retain the attribution to the original maker, her study of the narratives, newspaper clippings, and the education of the formerly enslaved after emancipation pieces together a more complete picture of craft- and place-based identities of Black craftswomen, some of whom lived in the same mountains Mellanee currently calls home. Mellanee earned her Bachelor of Arts in Art Management from Appalachian State University and earned a Master of Arts in Critical Craft Studies from Warren Wilson College. Mellanee is also the Grant Program Manager for the Center for Craft, located in Asheville, North Carolina.

BRAHM: R.O.S.E. (Racing on Solar Energy): a look at App State's solar vehicle

admin — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 15:53:35 +0000

Presented by Appalachian State University

FREE FOR ALL

Join App State’s Lee Ball for a lively presentation and video about the university’s solar vehicle, ROSE, which won first place in the Cruiser Class during the 2021 American Solar Challenge and second place in the 2021 Formula Sun Grand Prix.

In addition to his duties as Chief Sustainability Officer, Ball serves as an advisor for Team Sunergy, App State’s solar vehicle team, which is recognized by the international solar racing community for its excellence.

In the 2021 American Solar Challenge, App State was one of nine university teams — including MIT, University of California, Berkeley, and Georgia Tech — that qualified to compete and was among only two universities that do not offer engineering programs.

Team Sunergy won all three stages of the race from Missouri to New Mexico, clocking a total of 964.8 miles. The team also took top awards for teamwork and electrical design.

Designed, built, and raced by Team Sunergy in 2018, ROSE was reengineered in 2021. The car has a top speed of 60 mph and a maximum range of 300 miles on a single battery charge.

Team Sunergy began in fall 2013 as a class project to build a solar-powered golf cart and developed into an interdisciplinary team of App State students, faculty, and staff working together to research and develop solar-powered race cars. Supported by faculty from its inception, it was institutionalized and funded by Chancellor Everts.

A lecture and recital by James Douthit including the piano music of Theodor Leschetizky (1830-1915)

Presented by Appalachian State University

FREE FOR ALL

Join App State’s James Douthit for moving piano performances and a lively look at the opportunities students in the Hayes School of Music have to turn their talents into lifelong careers. Douthit will also share how his professional journey led him to be named dean of the university’s school of music — a progression of his work as a professor, pianist, and piano pedagogy clinician.

Douthit has performed extensively in the United States, as well as in Austria, Poland, China, and Great Britain. He is noted for his performance of piano compositions of Theodor Leschetizky (1830–1915), one of the most renowned piano pedagogues of the nineteenth century. Of note, the Leschetizky Association of America invited Douthit to present a concert in honor of Leschetizky’s birthday and his performance earned a standing ovation.

Reviews of Douthit’s recitals laud his performances as “musically poetic” and highlight his extensive technical and interpretive skills. He has been praised for his “sweeping gestures at the piano” that “extend his passion for the music and its communication to the audience.”

Image Credit: Christian Friedrich Mayr. Kitchen Ball at White Sulphur Springs, Virginia. 1838. Oil on canvas. North Carolina Museum of Art. The music and dance traditions of southern Appalachia have often been portrayed as a culture that was brought to the U.S. from the British Isles. In fact, they have multicultural roots. They are a blend of earlier European, African, and Native American traditions, and they reflect the cultural and ethnic diversity of America. In this presentation, we will identify some of the many contributions of African Americans to these uniquely “American” traditions. Website

About the film

Dulatown 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.

The ”C.G.P.” after Emmanuel’s name stands for “Certified Guitar Player.” This designation assigned by the late Chet Atkins recognizes guitar players who excel far beyond the normal line of playing. Atkins handed this title to only to four guitar players in his lifetime, with the first one presented to Emmanuel. Website

Mast Store Americana Music Series at App Theatre

Folk legend Pete Seeger said, “John McCutcheon is not only one of the best musicians in the USA, but also a great singer, songwriter, and song leader. And not just incidentally, he is committed to helping hard-working people everywhere to organize and push this world in a better direction.” For over 50 years, “Folk Music’s Rustic Renaissance Man” (Washington Post) has been everywhere in the folk music scene. He is a breath-taking multi-instrumentalist, a traditional music archivist, one of the primary revivalists of the hammer dulcimer, a pioneering children’s and family artist, a prolific and wide-ranging songwriter, and the very definition of the touring Road Warrior.

Exhibit: Coast to Coast: Contrasts & Shared Values Across American Impressionism

Lindsay — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 15:58:24 +0000

Presented in the Rankin West Gallery at Blowing Rock Art & History Museum Coast to Coast draws connections across impressionist painting as it was practiced on opposite sides of America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on the artists who made the journey—some permanently and some temporarily—and how the relationships that emerged between them led to a dynamic and often divergent approach to plein-air painting. Questions of style, training, the commercial market, and even the physical landscape itself emerge as a network of conditions that encouraged a vibrant departure from East Coast impressionism. This exhibition will include works by Maurice Braun, Alson S. Clark, Elliott Daingerfield, Childe Hassam, Jane Peterson, William Merritt Post, Hanson Putthuf, Jack Wilkinson Smith, and many others.

Exhibit: Uncommon Volumes: Sculptural Selections from Studio Glass in the Region

Lindsay — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 15:35:27 +0000

Presented in the Rankin East Gallery at Blowing Rock Art & History Museum

Studio Glass’s coalescence in the mid-20th century precipitated a renaissance of historic and new techniques for working glass. Where the medium had served utilitarian and commercial—if often aesthetic—purposes in the past, this flourishing relocated creative and material autonomy solely into the hands of the artist. When design and production were brought together, a wider array of objects and the material ideologies that shaped them came to bear on the seemingly most novel member of Studio Craft’s brood.

This exhibition draws together more recent works from the past 30 years that illustrate continued experimentation in sculptural glass. Ranging from the decidedly abstract to figural studies, these examples constitute only a small cross-section of the varied strategies deployed by artists as they continue to push and shape the medium to meet the needs of their own studio practices. In drawing from BRAHM’s permanent collection, directly from artist’s studio, and private collections, we are able to see examples of artists living and working in the region across recent generations.

Open August 2, 2022 – January 21, 2023. Check museum hours. Website Art & Image Credit: Sarah Vaughn, Weatherworn Balance I, 2022, blown, flameworked, and assembled glass, 15.75 x 10 x 5 in (40 x 25.4 x 12.7 cm). Courtesy of the artist.

Jim Lauderdale at The App Theatre

Lindsay — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 15:20:22 +0000

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. “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 Carolina native is only continuing to hone his craft. Website

Exhibit: Earth & Fowl: Ceramic Poultry

Lindsay — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 14:26:07 +0000

The ceramic objects found in this exhibition are obviously of a kind. Birds have long been a common subject for sculptural objects meant for the home. In particular, domestic poultry—ducks, geese, guineas, pigeons, and turkeys, with chickens chief among them—are animals that have been deeply integrated into our visual culture. They are signs and symbols of prosperity, familial health and wealth, and avatars in children’s stories and more recently of agricultural independence. Their likeness can be found on wallpaper and china patterns, decorative hand towels, mass-produced porcelain figurines, and nearly any other decorative object we might associate with the home. They are also a perennial subject in North Carolina’s rich pottery tradition.

Mavis Staples at The Schaefer Center

Lindsay — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 20:26:12 +0000

“I’m the messenger,” Mavis Staples said on the eve of her 80th birthday. “That’s my job — it has been for my whole life — and I can’t just give up while the struggle’s still alive. We’ve got more work to do, so I’m going to keep on getting stronger and keep on delivering my message every single day.”

Hailed by NPR as “one of America’s defining voices of freedom and peace,” Staples is the kind of once-in-a-generation artist whose impact on music and culture would be difficult to overstate. She takes her powerful message and equally powerful voice to the Schaefer Center for a one-night-only experience. For more information or tickets, click here!

Head over to The Schaefer Center to experience: "There’s a bit of the sorcerer in Béla Fleck (banjo), Zakir Hussain (tabla), Edgar Meyer (double bass), and their special guest Rakesh Chaurasia (bansuri – Indian flute). Most musicians hope at most for proficiency in their chosen form, but these gentlemen move from bluegrass to Western classical to Indian classical to jazz, transmuting genres into something uniquely their own as though they’d gotten hold of the alchemist’s tools that legendarily changed lead into gold. In any case, it’s music that transcends description — ineffable, indefinable, and very beautiful." For more information and tickets, click here!

Lindsay — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 19:57:32 +0000

Image: Coast to Coast: Contrasts & Shared Values Across American Impressionism, Rankin West Coast to Coast draws connections across impressionist painting as it was practiced on opposite sides of America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focussing on the artists who made the journey—some permanently and some temporarily—and how the relationships that emerged between them led to a dynamic and often divergent approach to plein-air painting. Questions of style, training, the commercial market, and even the physical landscape itself emerge as a network of conditions that encouraged a vibrant departure from East Coast impressionism. This exhibition will include works by Maurice Braun, Alson S. Clark, Elliott Daingerfield, Childe Hassam, Jane Peterson, William Merritt Post, Hanson Putthuf, Jack Wilkinson Smith, and many others.

Lindsay — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 20:28:10 +0000

Join App State’s Dr. Neva J. Specht for an in-depth look at this storied road spanning 469 miles. Through a bit of history and a few stories about how the parkway came to be, this talk focuses on the origins, the people who promoted the parkway as well as those who fought against it, and how the Moses and Bertha Cone estate became one of the most visited attractions along the Parkway.

The Blue Ridge Parkway connects the Shenandoah National Park in western Virginia to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which straddles southwestern North Carolina and Tennessee. Along the way, the parkway varies in width from 200 to 1,000 feet wide. Often nicknamed the “skinny park” or the “elongated park,” the Blue Ridge Parkway has become the most visited site in the National Park Service averaging between 16-20 million visitors a year.

Exhibit: POP-UP: Andy Warhol & The Portrait Impulse

Lindsay — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 15:23:09 +0000

Installation View

February 21 – May 28, 2023 | Fort Gallery

Photography and its potential for experimental portraiture is foundational across Andy Warhol's prolific career. In POP-UP, Warhol's commitment to instant film as a candid documentary medium is explored alongside examples of his iconic silkscreen prints. Synthesizing the photographic, the painterly, and the commercial, the artist's manipulation of the human visage constitutes some of his most lasting impacts on contemporary photography and image-making. In this exhibition, we see Warhol's near-obsessive use of the camera—the Polaroid in particular—some examples of which would ultimately be transformed into the high contrast, color blocked images audiences are so familiar with today.

The works included in this exhibition were generously loaned from the Permanent Collection of the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts at Appalachian State University, courtesy of a gift by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts' Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy program.

The Natural History and Science of Fall Leaf Colors at BRAHM

Lindsay — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 19:57:19 +0000

Join App State’s Dr. Howard S. Neufeld for a vibrant exploration of two key questions: why do tree leaves turn color in the fall? Is it an evolutionary adaptation or just what leaves do when they die? Each autumn deciduous trees put on a colorful display as they prepare to go dormant for the winter.

Depending on the species, their summer green leaves may turn orange, red, yellow, or even brown, before falling off. This phenomenon, which occurs worldwide, is primarily limited to temperate forests, and attracts thousands of people to the mountains for fall leaf “peeping,” as it is known colloquially.

Fall is the busiest tourist season in the mountains of North Carolina, and estimates are that it contributes $600-800 million to the local economy. In this talk, Neufeld will share the natural history of fall leaf colors, explain the chemistry behind the different colors, and discuss the controversy about why leaves change colors each autumn. He will conclude with thoughts on how climate change may alter future leaf color displays.

An Appalachian Murder: Creating the Legend of Tom Dula & Laura Foster at BRAHM

Lindsay — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 20:06:00 +0000

In May 1868, Tom Dula was hanged in Statesville, North Carolina, for the murder of his sweetheart, Laura Foster. The prior trial, his second, made national news and reveals much about regional and national understandings of “mountain folk” in the post-Civil War period.

In her talk, Fredette explores the way this real murder became a folk story, both in Western North Carolina and the broader nation. She analyzes press coverage of Tom, Laura, and the alleged accomplice, Anne Melton, and how depictions of them shifted from the postwar period into the early twentieth century, laying the groundwork for the explosive popularity of the song, “Tom Dooley,” from the Kingston Trio, as well as growth of the tourism industry around the man himself.

Keeping Time: Fiddles, Banjos, Ballads, & Place-keeping at BRAHM

Lindsay — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 20:15:07 +0000

Join App State’s Trevor McKenzie to learn more about Appalachia’s music traditions as a form of creative place-keeping within the region. Place-keeping is the active care and maintenance of a place and its social fabric by the people who live and work there, according to the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture.

Traditional music is a placekeeping tool essential to sustaining regional communities — ballads are a form of community memory, instrumental techniques are a continuum of thoughts and movements from elder members of communities, and tunes bearing the names of mountains or streams lead to a heightened appreciation of regional ecology. Through these examples and more, this program will highlight music’s role in keeping and continuing cultural memories connected to locales across Appalachia.

Reduced Shakespeare Company presents The Complete History of Comedy (abridged)

Lindsay — Mon, 22 May 2023 16:01:44 +0000

Part of An Appalachian Summer Festival

They’ve skewered history, the Bible and the world’s most celebrated playwright. Now, The Reduced Shakespeare Company tackles the subject it was born to reduce. From the high-brow to the low, The Complete History of Comedy (abridged) covers comedy through the ages, from Shakespeare and Moliere (Is Moliere funny? Why not?) to Napoleon (Dynamite) and Vaudeville and Charlie Chaplin to The Simpsons and Ted Lasso. From cavemen telling “Rock Rock” jokes to Will Smith upset at Chris Rock’s jokes and everything in-between, the bad boys of abridgment leave no joke untold as they deconstruct the entire history of comedy in 90 rollicking minutes. CONTENT ADVISORY: In the spirit of Shakespeare’s comedies, RSC shows contain comic depictions of violence, mild innuendo, bawdy language, and the occasional rude word. All children (and parents) are different, so we’ve chosen to rate our shows PG-13: Pretty Good If You’re Thirteen. Website

Shortly after the assassination of The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mitchell was inspired to start a school that would offer children — especially those in Harlem, the community in which he was born — the opportunity to learn about dance and the allied arts. Now in its sixth decade, Dance Theatre of Harlem has grown into a multi-cultural dance institution with an extraordinary legacy of providing opportunities for creative expression and artistic excellence that continues to set standards in the performing arts. Dance Theatre of Harlem has achieved unprecedented success, bringing innovative and bold new forms of artistic expression to audiences in New York City, across the country and around the world.

May 26 - November 11, 2023 | Rankin West Gallery

This exhibition illustrates an essential, animating force in Blowing Rock's artistic history: the small community of Artists Alley. Located on a single eponymous road just minutes from Main Street off Highway 221, Artists Alley emerged in the late 1950s and would ultimately host a varied yet tightly knit band of artists and craftspeople living and making alongside one another for over 60 years.

How and why do people come together to form a community? Solidarity, friendship, and mutual support? And why do artists, in particular, do the same?

Featuring works by and stories of such local icons as Philip Moose, Herb Cohen, José Fumero, Frank Sherrill, Lynn Jenkins, Barbara and David Ballesty, and John Brady, this exhibition narrates these artists' singular and collective stories. Weaving together historical anecdote, archival material, painting, ceramic, fiber, and more, this installation blends the historical and the art historical as well as the deeply local alongside community-building impulses that are present in creative enclaves everywhere.

Exhibit: Sketching the Personal: Works on Paper by Philip Moose

Lindsay — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 18:07:36 +0000

Photo: Philip Moose, Banares - Aug 5, undated, ink on paper in sketchbook, 12 x 18 in. Gift of Frank Sherrill, BRAHM Permanent Collection, 2006.1.15G. April 21 - October 8, 2023 | Rankin East Gallery

Philip Moose, his name and his paintings, are nearly ubiquitous in Blowing Rock and the surrounding High Country. Best remembered for his landscapes, especially his countless scenes of Grandfather Mountain, Moose approached painting with a disciplined studio practice, producing a constant stream of pictures that found his work in the homes of so many in this community. Less known is his equally rigorous drawing practice. Philip was a prolific world traveler, finding himself throughout Europe, Central America, South Asia, and elsewhere—always with a sketchbook in tow. Where his paintings capture the splendor of mountain scenes with texture and precision, Moose’s drawing practice, like so many other artists, tended towards the prosaic recording of his surroundings.

Not every drawing was a preparatory sketch for a grand painting. Some of these images instead seem to be meditations on an especially intriguing object or place. Architectural sketches and cityscapes are common among his works on paper, and suggest a fascination with the built environment, which is particularly evident during his sojourns in cities far and wide. For this artist, his drawings appear to both inform his better known paintings while also serving as an intimate tool in documenting the world he traversed. Moose is often remembered as a quiet man, but these works on paper indicate that, while not especially loquacious, he was always looking at and considering the landscapes that informed his storied artistic career.

This exhibition supplements the forthcoming Artists Alley: Building a Creative Community in Blowing Rock and draws upon BRAHM's permanent collection to share rarely exhibited works by one of the museum's most exhibited artists.

DaShawn Hickman presents "Sacred Steel" at the Appalachian Theatre

DaShawn Hickman - One of the foremost contemporary practitioners of Sacred Steel, a blues-gospel tradition dating back to the Pentecostal-Holiness churches of the 1930s, DaShawn Hickman grew up hearing the pedal steel in the tiny House of God church his family attended in Mt. Airy, North Carolina, listening to his mother play lap steel in their home. Now, Hickman puts his own spin on the Sacred Steel tradition with Drums, Roots & Steel, his debut album on Little Village, produced by Charlie Hunter and featuring the soulful vocals of Hickman’s wife Wendy on several tracks. “We just want to spread love and joy to people,” says Hickman. “That’s our mission, me and my wife both. We love what we do, and we just want to take it out and let other people experience it and be heard in the right manner.” Website

BRAHM: 2023 North Carolina Year of the Trail

Lindsay — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 13:59:13 +0000

2023 North Carolina Year of the Trail: Trails as Plant Corridors for People and Wildlife

We learned during the pandemic how important outdoor spaces are for health and well-being as we saw record numbers of people flock to parks and trails. The Great Trails State Coalition urged the NC General Assembly NC to designate 2023 as NC Year of the Trail, to recognize and celebrate North Carolina’s vast network of trails, greenways, and blueways which showcase our diverse landscapes – grand mountain vistas, quiet rivers, vibrant urban greenways, coastal forests, and the rolling hills of the piedmont. NC Year of the Trail is the largest statewide celebration of trails and outdoor recreation in North Carolina history.

Tatiana Hargreaves & Allison de Groot at The Appalachian Theatre

Lindsay — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 14:50:22 +0000

Traditional music is not static; it shifts with the times, uncovering new meanings in old words, new ways of talking about the communal pathways that led us to where we are today. For musicians, Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves, traditional banjo and fiddle music is a way to interpret our uncertain times, to draw artistic inspiration and power from the sources of meaning in their lives. History, family, literature, live performance, and environmental instability all manifest in the sounds, feelings, and sensations that permeate their music. Their 2022 sophomore album, Hurricane Clarice is a direct infusion of centuries of matrilineal folk wisdom, a fiery breath of apocalyptic energy. Website

The Gibson Brothers at The Appalachian Theatre

Lindsay — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 15:26:18 +0000

There’s a reason why Ricky Skaggs pulled Eric and Leigh Gibson off the stage at the Ryman two decades ago and offered to produce their debut record. The same thing that led David Ferguson and GrammyAward winning producer and Black Keys frontman DanAuerbach to co-write and produce their 14th album “Mockingbird” (2018) and release it on his own label Easy Eye Sound alongside cultural icons such as HankWilliams Jr. and Dr. John: the Gibson Brothers are the real deal. They can pick. They can sing. And they can write a damn good country song. They’ve won about every bluegrass award you can name and released albums on almost every premier Americana label you can think of including Sugar Hill and Rounder, and, if that’s not enough, their songs have been recorded by bluegrass legends no less than Del McCoury. It’s a resume almost anybody in country music would be proud to have. But despite all of this, the Gibson Brothers are not yet household names. Their latest album, “Darkest Hour,” produced by dobro master Jerry Douglas might just change that. Website

Exhibit: Crafted Modern - The Collection of Rob Williams

Lindsay — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 14:07:49 +0000

Photo: Clara Couch, Vessel, undated, speckled ceramic. 17 x 18 x 18 in (43.18 x 45.72 x 45.72 cm). Gift of Rob Williams, PG.2023.005.007.

September 29, 2023 - April 20, 2024 | Schaefer Gallery

The Studio Craft movement of the 20th Century witnessed a broad resurgence of artists working in mediums historically understood to be less precious than their fine art counterparts. Clay, metal, glass, wood, and fiber were the materials of daily life, constituting the tools and wares of domestic and professional labor. Prior to this conceptual shift, ornaments worthy of display and reverence were more often wrought in paint or stone—on fine paper or in gilded frames. However, in the decades following this flattening of artistic hierarchies, many artists manipulated traditional modes of craft production into lively explorations of form and idea. Postmodern sensibilities spilled over and commingled with these long-held material traditions and bore abstracted fruit. Forms we recognize as familiar—a jug, a birdhouse, a cup, or cement slab—are rendered anew, still recognizable with all of their common associations but wonderfully complicated through a widening lens of contemporary craft.

Rob Williams has built a collection that reflects this sculptural attitude of contemporary craft-based artists throughout a long career in the field. As an educator and then a commercial gallerist, Williams developed a network of relationships and influences that informed a daunting collection of which this exhibition is only a small part. BRAHM is thrilled to share this cross-section of objects, some of which have found a new home here at our museum.

October 3rd, 2023 - December 2nd, 2023 | Alexander Community Gallery

Horace, the foremost lyric poet of imperial Rome, wrote in his 19 BC masterwork, Ars Poetica (The Art of Poetry), "ut pictura poesis" or "as is painting so is poetry." Visual and literary art often deploy different strategies to achieve a shared goal, and Horace argues that the transformative power of the pictorial and the textual are heightened when experienced together.

The Blowing Rock Art & History Museum is thrilled to unveil the inaugural edition of ARS POETICA, a juried exhibition, bringing together the work of poets and artists in this gallery and a companion digital publication. A committee of jurors has paired submitted poems and artworks into combinations that expand, highlight, augment, and sometimes even obfuscate meaning, each enriching the experience of the other. BRAHM received over 150 submissions, and choosing amongst the insightful and surprising body of work was no easy task. The natural landscape and the human experience of living on and with it; vivid memories of childhood and the wistfulness therein; and the singular culture of Southern Appalachia, then and now, are just a few of the engrossing motifs we discovered.

California Impressionism in an iPhone World at BRAHM

Lindsay — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 16:48:55 +0000

Dr. Will South, author of numerous books on both California Impressionism and Modernism, asks the question: How can more than 100-year-old, simple landscape paintings, however pleasant, be relevant in a world where humans are glued to their phones and consume hundreds of images per day?

South provides a historical context in which to gain an understanding of long-ago California art, and helps us see how a healthful and positive message may still be felt in the numerous beautiful paintings now on view at the Blowing Rock Museum of Art.

In the case of Hall’s paintings and collages, the artist uses broad swaths of color to build her compositions which are at once visually dense while also flattening the dynamic vistas she interpreted. The New England countryside, rural and urban Mediterranean scenes, and rigorous studies of anomalies in the landscape like quarries and waterways were perennial subjects. Website

Featuring songs by Gershwin, Ellington, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and many more, and joined by a who’s who of New York all-stars, this is an “unforgettable” evening of singin’ and swingin’ with Bria and Benny.

Released in 1989, Indigo Girls’ eponymous major label debut sold over two million copies under the power of singles “Closer to Fine” and “Kid Fears” and turned Indigo Girls into one of the most successful folk duos in history. Over a 35-year career that began in clubs around their native Atlanta, Georgia, the multi-Grammy-winning duo of Emily Saliers and Amy Ray has recorded 16 studio albums, sold over 15 million records, and built a dedicated, enduring following across the globe. Rolling Stone describes them as the “ideal duet partners.” Committed and uncompromising activists, they work on issues like immigration reform (El Refugio), LGBTQ advocacy, education (Imagination Library), death penalty reform, and Native American rights. They are co-founders of Honor the Earth, a non-profit dedicated to the survival of sustainable Native communities, Indigenous environmental justice, and green energy solutions.

Snarky Puppy is a collective of sorts with as many as 20 members in regular rotation. At its core, the band represents the convergence of both black and white American music culture with various accents from around the world. Japan, Argentina, Canada and the United Kingdom all have representation in the group’s membership. But more than the cultural diversity of the individual players, the defining characteristic of Snarky Puppy’s music is the joy of performing together in the perpetual push to grow creatively.

“There are a lot more people out there with Jay-Z and Johnny Cash on their playlists than you think,” says Gangstagrass Mastermind Rench, who had previously made a name for himself as an in-demand Brooklyn country and hip-hop producer and singer/songwriter. He should know – he’s toured the country and abroad with a band of bluegrass pickers and hip-hop MCs to the delight of standing-room crowds everywhere.

Gangstagrass has toured internationally, blowing minds on main stages from SXSW to Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, with a live act taking full advantage of the improvisational aspects of both hip-hop and bluegrass. With MCs R-SON and Dolio the Sleuth trading verses, Dan Whitener on banjo, Brian Farrow on fiddle, Rench on guitar and beats, and frequent three-part harmonies, the Gangstagrass stage show has garnered a reputation among fans for its dynamism and spontaneity. Through touring across the United States and abroad, Gangstagrass uses live performances to organically develop new material to further explode the boundaries between genres generally thought to be incompatible.

Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience at The App Theatre

Lindsay — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 19:39:35 +0000

photo credit: James Dean Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience- For over 40 years, two-time GRAMMY award winning, 8th generation Louisiana Creole, Terrance Simien, has been shattering the myths and often misinformation, about what his traditional Zydeco roots music is – and is not. It most certainly is American roots music and it is music born of the black and mixed race French speaking Creoles of South Louisiana. It’s exhilarating and as complex and diverse as the Creoles. It’s also more than just one rhythm and one tempo. Sure it’s about dancing; “less dancing please”, said no-one ever! But, it’s also about grooving in place and dancing freely. It’s definitely about the vocal performance as well. Terrance’s lead vocals and the stunning three part harmonies of he, Danny and Stan – are proof positive that vocal performances matter – a lot! Zydeco is dynamic and evolving – remaining relevant to allow its artists to express themselves within their genre without constraints. Website

Sam Bush at The App Theatre

Lindsay — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 20:14:33 +0000

On a Bowling Green, Kentucky cattle farm in the post-war 1950s, Bush grew up an only son, and with four sisters. His love of music came immediately, encouraged by his parents’ record collection and, particularly, by his father Charlie, a fiddler, who organized local jams. Charlie envisioned his son someday a staff fiddler at the Grand Ole Opry, but a clear day’s signal from Nashville brought to Bush’s television screen a tow-headed boy named Ricky Skaggs playing mandolin with Flatt and Scruggs, and an epiphany for Bush. At 11, he purchased his first mandolin.

As a teen fiddler Bush was a three-time national champion in the junior division of the National Oldtime Fiddler’s Contest. He recorded an instrumental album, Poor Richard’s Almanac as a high school senior and in the spring of 1970 attended the Fiddlers Convention in Union Grove, NC. There he heard the New Deal String Band, taking notice of their rock-inspired brand of progressive bluegrass.

Jen was the 2017 Winner of NPR's Snap Judgement Comedic Performance of the Year for her Girl Scout Cookie Caper story which went viral upon its release earlier that year.

Hometown favorite returns to the AppTheatre stage. Adam Church, an Appalachian native, has been pursuing his music career for about 10 years.

Church attended Appalachian State University, where he was starting to work on his music career in his spare time, meeting and befriending Combs. Combs was also just starting his career while attending App State, and had Church join his first band. Between school and his job at K-Mart, Church would play shows in local bars in Boone and more to get the music ball rolling.

Exhibit: HIGHLIGHTS - Selections from BRAHM's Permanent Collection

Lindsay — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 19:52:17 +0000

Elliott Daingerfield, Still Life (Rhododendron and Brass Pot), c. 1900, Oil on canvas, 24 x 34 in. Given in honor of Joann C. Mitchell, BRAHM's first Executive Director, by Welborn E. & Patricia H. Alexander, BRAHM Permanent Collection, 2012.04.01.

August 18, 2023 - June 30, 2024 | Cannon Gallery

BRAHM stewards a growing Permanent Collection of over 800 objects. Museums build collections for a variety of reasons: preserving artworks and other objects of historical importance for future generations; cataloging, documenting, and researching said objects; and displaying and interpreting the collection for the public through exhibitions, publications, and other educational programs. Each museum approaches collection development with a slightly different ethos or goal in mind. There are many museums eager to share established and innovative art historical narratives or highlight emerging and already significant artists. However, every institution must contend with limited resources and diverse audiences with a seemingly limitless array of visual culture vying for their attention.

Collecting institutions are compelled to articulate their particular identity, and, at just over a decade old, BRAHM has begun in earnest to refine its own. This museum was explicitly founded with an expansive focus on the art and culture of Southern Appalachia. Time and coincidence as well as strategic leadership, philanthropy, and staff expertise have augmented and refined that vision for BRAHM and its collection over the following years. This exhibition works to articulate that emergent trajectory for the museum, identifying the strengths of its Permanent Collection and highlighting the exciting directions in which it is beginning to grow.

"A Tapestry of Our Roots" at BRAHM

Lindsay — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 20:02:16 +0000

Join us for a special discussion of the exhibition A Tapestry of Our Roots with representatives from Q’Pasa Appalachia and Immigrant Connection of the High Country.

Immigrants have played a vital role in shaping the cultural, social, and economic fabric of many countries around the world, and the High Country is no exception. In June of 2023, Immigrant Connection of the High Country and Q’ Pasa Appalachia decided to bring this project to light to showcase the beauty of the tapestry of immigrants' roots here in Boone and the surrounding areas.

“The Tapestry of Our Roots” refers to the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and contributions of individuals who have migrated to the High Country. This tapestry is often rich with stories of perseverance, resilience, and the pursuit of a better life. Immigrants bring with them their unique traditions, languages, and customs, enriching the cultural landscape of their new home. They also contribute to the economy by starting businesses, creating jobs, and adding to the country's overall productivity.

“A Tapestry of Our Roots” serves as a reminder of the power of diversity and the strength that arises from different perspectives and backgrounds coming together. It is a testament to the human spirit and the universal desire for a better future.

Exhibit: Pulp & Bind - Paper & Book in Southern Appalachia at BRAHM

Lindsay — Fri, 09 Feb 2024 16:52:18 +0000

Leigh Suggs, Pacing the Races VI, handcut acrylic on Yupo, 40x30 in. (image courtesy of the artist) January 26, 2024 – June 2, 2024 | Fort Gallery Pulp & Bind brings together 18 artists working across the diffuse region of Southern Appalachia who are deeply engaged with the mediums of paper and book as a form and a concept. The structural potential of paper, its emotive qualities and familiar insinuations, and the alternately highly-refined and visibly handmade possibilities of the material are just some of the recurrent themes across this exhibition. Bringing together this diverse group of objects, bound by a seemingly humble, familiar medium, reflects our region’s heterogeneity and challenges assumptions about Craft and Appalachian creative production at large.

Brubeck Brother's Quartet at The Appalachian Theatre

Lindsay — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 18:01:17 +0000

Chris and Dan Brubeck have been making music together practically all their lives. Drummer Dan and bassist, trombonist, and composer Chris cut their first record together in 1966—nearly a half century ago. They’ve subsequently played a variety of styles in a number of different groups, as well as with their father, jazz giant Dave Brubeck, and with their own Brubeck Brothers Quartet. With Dan and Chris as the foundation, guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb, complete this dynamic quartet. They perform at concert series, colleges, and jazz festivals across North America and Europe including the Newport, Detroit, Montreal, Playboy/Hollywood Bowl, and Monterey Jazz Festivals. Although the Quartet’s style is rooted in “straight-ahead” jazz, their concerts reveal an inherent ability to explore and play odd time signatures while naturally integrating the influences of funk, blues and world music.The group’s creativity, technique and improvisation can be heard in their uncompromising music, which reflects their dedication to melody, rhythm, culture and the spontaneous spirit of jazz.

In 2019, she released Love and Liberation which also received a Grammy nomination. The following year, she published her book, Strive From Within: The Jazzmeia Horn Approach, while recording her big band album, Dear Love.

Mipso at The Appalachian Theatre

Lindsay — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 21:30:48 +0000

Mipso formed in 2012 as an excuse to play together between classes in Chapel Hill. Joseph Terrell came from a family of banjo-playing uncles and a guitarist grandma, and he’d gotten curious again about the string band music he’d heard as a kid. Jacob Sharp was raised on equal parts Doc Watson and Avett Brothers in the mountains of North Carolina and he was hunting for a chance to sing some harmonies. Wood Robinson added a Charlie Haden-esque interest in bridging jazz and grass sensibilities on the double bass, and Libby Rodenbough soon joined on fiddle, unsatisfied by her classical violin training but drawn like a moth toward the glow of old, weird Americana.

Zoe & Cloyd and The Foreign Landers at The Appalachian Theatre

Lindsay — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 13:20:42 +0000

The innovative “klezgrass” music of Zoe & Cloyd springs from the rich traditions and complementary styles of fiddler/vocalist Natalya Zoe Weinstein and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist John Cloyd Miller. Descending from a lineage of klezmer and jazz musicians, Natalya trained classically in her home state of Massachusetts before moving south in 2004. John, a twelfth-generation North Carolinian and grandson of pioneering bluegrass fiddler, Jim Shumate, is a 1st place winner of the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Contest and the Hazel Dickens Songwriting Contest. Based in Asheville, NC, Natalya and John are also experienced educators and are both instructors in the traditional music program at Warren Wilson College. This line of the traditional song from which The Foreign Landers take their name captures something of what makes this Transatlantic folk duo’s story so compelling. Mandolinist David Benedict grew up in South Carolina while Tabitha Agnew Benedict started playing 5-string banjo at a young age in her homeland of Northern Ireland. They spent their early years playing the same music, gazing at the same stars, yet still so far away from each other. But today Tabitha and David are carving their own path in the acoustic music world together, drawing on their unique international heritage to create something new. With the 2022 release of their album Travelers Rest, they share their own story in a way that is beautifully honest and moving. Website

An Evening with Natalie Merchant at The Schaefer Center

Lindsay — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 15:43:30 +0000

credit: Shervin Lainez

**In celebration of her ninth studio album, Keep Your Courage, ’80s superstar singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant comes to Boone, accompanied by Hickory, NC’s Western Piedmont Symphony.**

Merchant writes in her album’s liner notes, “The songs contained within this album were written and recorded during the global pandemic that began in the winter of 2019 and is in its fifth wave as I write, in the autumn of 2022. It has been, and continues to be, a period of great flux and fear on every level: global, national, communal, familial, personal. But this is not an album about the coronavirus or the chaos it caused. For the most part, this is an album about the human heart.” She continues. “The word ‘courage’ has its root in the Latin word for heart, cor, and we see it over and over in many languages: le coeur, il cuore, o coração, el corazón. This is a song cycle that maps the journey of a courageous heart.”

Fallen Leaves Movie - An Appalachian Summer Festival

Lindsay — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 18:03:15 +0000

In Finnish with English subtitles Finland, German / not rated / Directed by Aki Kaurismäki / 2023 / Drama / 81 minutes Award-winning filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki (Le Havre, The Other Side of Hope) makes a masterful return with Fallen Leaves, a timeless, hopeful and satisfying love story that won the Jury Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Set in modern-day Helsinki, the film tells the story of Ansa (Alma Pöysti) and Holappa (Jussi Vatanen), two lonely souls whose chance meeting at a local karaoke bar is beset by numerous hurdles. From lost phone numbers to mistaken addresses, alcoholism and a charming stray dog, the pair’s path to happiness is as bittersweet as it is ultimately delightful. Shot through with Kaurismäki’s typically playful, idiosyncratic style and deadpan sense of humor, this tender romantic tragicomedy is both a loving tribute to the filmmaker’s beloved contemporaries and a timely reminder of the potency of movie-going from one of cinema’s living legends.

Jazzmeia Horn is also the Saturday night headlining act for the 2024 High Country Jazz Festival. The concert will take place at the Appalachian Theatre in Boone, NC, from 7:30 to 10 pm.

Jeremy Wade at Grandfather Mountain

Lindsay — Tue, 28 May 2024 21:00:05 +0000

As a child in England, Jeremy Wade was obsessed with fishing. However, as he grew up, the rivers seemed more crowded with fishermen and the catches less mythical, and Wade’s dream faded. A chance discovery in his 20s of a magazine article about a fish in India, the mahseer, a giant golden-scaled carp that lives in thunderous rocky rivers, rekindled his passion. He dusted down his fishing rods and set off with £200 in his pocket to follow his dreams. Decades later, the rest, as they say, is history. Wade was the presenter of the worldwide hit television series, “River Monsters.” His book of the same name (Orion, 2012) delivers a sometimes jaw-dropping blend of adventure, natural history, legend and detective work. It reads like a hunt for the Loch Ness Monster, but it’s all true! His book “How to Think Like a Fish” (W&N, 2019) teaches the reader how to improve their own fishing skills. Sparse on the details of technique, it is about the simple, fundamental principles – a mindset for success. It’s part science, part art and part elusive something else. Copies of Wade’s books, “River Monsters” and “How to Think Like a Fish,” will be on sale at Grandfather Mountain’s Wilson Center gift shop prior to the event and on June 27 during Grandfather Presents, as supplies last. A summer reading list for the speaker series is coming soon! Website

Exhibit: Alex Hallmark in Four Seasons at BRAHM

Lindsay — Fri, 31 May 2024 19:39:17 +0000

Alex Hallmark, Winter, 2008, cast bronze and patina.

Alexander Hallmark (1949–2021) was an artist and longtime resident of Blowing Rock. Deeply embedded in this community, his career in the studio, though developed later in life, produced many of the works of public art that serve as visual anchors throughout this village and the wider High Country.

Alex Hallmark in Four Seasons is a celebration of this son of Blowing Rock in a range of orbits. At its most essential, this exhibition works to elevate one of the artist's most successful yet largely unseen bodies of work, The Four Seasons (2007-2008). The quartet of sculptures—Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter—illustrate Hallmark’s simultaneous aptitude for the technically adept and the deeply humane. Beyond this central sculptural installation, the surrounding walls narrate the most crucial elements of the artist’s story with special attention to the technical processes used to produce his cast bronze sculptural work, including models, molds, and tools. Largely self-taught, any discussion of Hallmark’s work requires an understanding of the artist’s life, and information gleaned from collected oral histories will weave that timeline through interpretive text, didactics, and a map of Hallmark’s robust body of public art throughout the region.

Wilderness Safety Pint Night at Speckled Trout Outfitters

Lindsay — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 20:23:28 +0000

One of the biggest barriers people face beginning a new outdoor hobby is fear for their safety - and rightfully so! There are plenty of dangers and hazards in the outdoors, and often we find ourselves recreating far away from medical services. Even experienced adventurers can find themselves in sticky situations they’re not prepared for.

Join Ryan, an active member of the NC Mountain Search and Rescue Team, EMT, and an outdoorsman with thousands of miles on the trail, river, bike, and boat, to learn smart and safe outdoor recreation for an evening learning about smart preparation for backcountry recreation.

Learn about safety in the woods & boost confidence being in the backcountry
Lower incidents/accidents in the woods

Answer questions about specific safety concerns in the wilderness
Learn about Garmin InReach and how to use the gear you already carry when in a pinch

You can read more about Ryan & his background here.

This is a free event with no registration required. See you there!

It's a Maud, Maud World at BRAHM

Lindsay — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 17:46:28 +0000

Maud Gatewood, Comings and Goings, 1983, acrylic on canvas, 60inx72in, image courtesy the Duke Endowment

Maud Gatewood rose to prominence in North Carolina as an aggressively independent voice in the visual arts. She also participated in the evolution of art across America, helping to sustain figurative art and simultaneously adding her unique viewpoint to hard-edged abstraction and, arguably, to pop art.

This talk presents Maud Gatewood as a national figure in the arts via comparison with her many peers, including artists as diverse as Richard Diebenkorn, Frank Stella, and Alex Katz. Maud is discussed as being the individualist she was, while simultaneously being wide awake to the new directions art was taking in a rapidly changing world. Her rich legacy is examined, including Maud being an advocate for experimentation and risk, and how she made North Carolina a culturally more vibrant place with her art, attitude, and inimitable example.

Fri, 28 May 2021 18:14:58 +0000

From The Mountaintop, The Edgar Tufts Story is next in line and features a production that celebrates local heritage. What did Banner Elk, North Carolina, look like in the 1890s? With the vision of a young seminary student, one tiny town gained a church, a college, an orphanage, and a hospital. The musical, written by Janet Barton Speer, with songs and lyrics by John Thomas and Tommy Oaks, tells the story of Presbyterian minister, the Rev. Edgar Tufts. He first came to the region in the late 1800s as a seminary student to organize a church, but his love and admiration for the mountain people called him back to an extraordinary life of service that forever changed the complexion of the area. With remarkable purpose, Tufts founded a number of institutions that continue to serve today: the Banner Elk Presbyterian Church, Lees-McRae College, Cannon Memorial Hospital, and Grandfather Home for Children. From The Mountaintop, The Edgar Tufts Story will be next in line showing July 11, 12, 13, 16 and 7 p.m. In addition, there will be matinee performances at 2:00 p.m. on July 14, 16, 17.

Family Bonds & Female Friendship: The Cone Women of North Carolina

Fri, 28 May 2021 18:19:15 +0000

The three Cone sisters in the large family of 13 children were close to one another and to their many brothers, all of whom lived in North Carolina. They all had strong characters, though each was quite different from the others. Claribel and Etta Cone were the world-class travelers and collectors of modern art whose collection is now mostly in The Baltimore Museum of Art, while some items came to the museum in Greensboro. The third sister, Carrie, was a homemaker and supporter of her husband, who like the Cone brothers, worked in one of the cotton mills that made the family prominent in North Carolina. Then there were the sisters-in-law, the cousins, and friends who traveled with the Cone sisters and spent leisure time together. This is the story of how, thanks to the success of their menfolk with the cotton mills, the intelligent, daring, and privileged women of the family interacted with one another and made their own contributions to life in North Carolina.

Fri, 28 May 2021 18:19:49 +0000

Preservation Hall Jazz Band has held the torch of New Orleans music aloft for more than 50 years, all the while carrying it enthusiastically forward as a reminder that the history they were founded to preserve is a vibrantly living history.

“When we play music, the barometer for us as a band is whether the locals are reacting,” bandleader/composer/bassist Ben Jaffe explains. “In New Orleans we play music for dances and parades, funerals and church. It’s important to us to make music people connect to, that people dance to, that people really feel, emotionally and physically. That’s the tradition we grew up with, that’s what we know.”

Celebrate Christmas the old fashioned way with Santa and Mrs Claus during An Appalachian Christmas at the 1903 Old Dougherty House at Mystery Hill. Admission to the Old Dougherty House is FREE during the event, which runs December 16-24, 2019.

Santa will regale visitors with stories about one of his favorite children in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Jack. You may have heard of Jack; he’s nimble, his quick, he’s jumped over candle sticks and climbed bean stalks, but we guarantee you’ve never heard his exploits in Appalachia! Jack has always lent a hand to Santa fighting off trolls, saving Christmas princesses, stopping the northwest wind from blowing, and of course stopping joy-stealing witches! We know you will love this unique Appalachian holiday tradition!

Guest will also enjoy complimentary cider, hot cocoa and cookies. Tickets to other Mystery Hill attractions can be purchased on site or online.

Built in 1903 by Dauphin Disco Dougherty, this home was the first in the area to have electricity and running water. What is today Appalachian State University was founded by Dauphin in this home, which served as classrooms and an administration office during the early years. The home is being restored to its original 1903 condition with the help of donations by the community.

The Dougherty House is just one of nine attractions at Mystery Hill in Blowing Rock, NC. One of North Carolina’s most unique attractions, Mystery Hill offers a one-of-a-kind look into Appalachian culture and history, blending family fun, science, indoor and outdoor adventure.
Attractions include the famous gravitational anomaly, the second-largest private Native American artifacts collection in the world, Bubblerama, gem mining, our dinosaur and fossil museum, old time photos, tomahawk throwing, and more. For more information, visit mysteryhill.com

A.I.M is a representation of dancers from various disciplines and diverse personal backgrounds. Combined together, these individualities create movement that is manipulated and molded into something fresh and unique.

admin — Fri, 28 May 2021 18:38:03 +0000

Set in the run-up and aftermath of the 2016 election, Pop brings the Canard County trilogy to a close as Dawn, the young narrator of Gipe’s first novel, Trampoline, is now the mother of the seventeen-year-old Nicolette. Whereas Dawn has become increasingly agoraphobic as the internet persuades her the world is descending into chaos, Nicolette narrates an Appalachia where young people start businesses rooted in local food culture and work to build community. But Nicolette’s precocious rise in the regional culinary scene is interrupted when her policeman cousin violently assaults her, setting in motion a chain of events that threaten to destroy the family—and Canard County in the process.

BRAHM: Plein Air Workshop with Scott Boyle

admin — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 15:42:15 +0000

Take your paints outside with North Carolina landscape painter Scott Boyle during a 3-day plein air workshop in beautiful Blowing Rock, North Carolina. The workshop will consist of a brief lecture, group discussions, outdoor painting demonstrations, and student painting opportunities. Scott will paint a demonstration painting each day and students will have a chance to complete 3-6 paintings during the course.

This will be a 3-day plein air workshop with well known plein air artist and teacher Scott Boyle and hosted by the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum in the beautiful Mountains of North Carolina. Late September is a beautiful time to paint in the North Carolina Mountains with cooler temperatures and with fall colors just beginning to show. The theme of Scott’s workshop will be to lighten your load and to simplify your painting process. Attendees will learn exercises that will help to improve their fundamentals of drawing, composition, values (light/shadow), and color to create stronger outdoor paintings. This class will be beneficial to beginner and intermediate students.

The class will be a small group learning experience of 10-12 students which will allow Scott to personally help each artist regardless of their skill level. You may need help finding a scene to paint, setting up equipment, drawing, composing, mixing colors, creating softer edges, finding color harmony, or painting faster outside. Scott will try to help each student with their individual needs.

This workshop would be most helpful for oil painters, though other mediums are welcome. No plein air experience is necessary. Students supply their own materials, easels etc.

The class will begin at The Blowing Rock Art & History Museum for a short lecture and then we will paint outdoors near the museum. The class will run from 9:30 AM – 4PM each day
