Join us to celebrate Homegrown Hope. Help us honor the impact of local advocacy and continued environmental recovery right here at home.
Highlights:
Bear Creek String Bandits are an Asheville-based bluegrass trio. Expect to hear some traditional bluegrass, old time ballads and fiddle tunes, jazz and honky tonk, highlighting their cultured and diverse musical backgrounds. Bear Creek String Bandits are supported by ReString Appalachia.
Coming into town early? From 2 to 4 pm MountainTrue’s Southwestern Region staff will host an opening reception for Artworks from Intertwined = humanity + nature + art at our Asheville office (347 Depot Street) where attendees can view the pieces and also meet the artists.
Intertwined is a collection wherein five collage artists from the Southwestern region explore the invisible threads connecting us to the natural world. More than a visual meditation, this collection is an act of reverence and a call to protect our fragile ecosystems for future generations. Artwork will be on display in the Asheville office for the month of October.
