For more informati on call the church office at 828-693-9783 or visit www.stjohnflatrock.org. \nSt. John in the Wilderness History \nIn 1827\, Charles Baring\, a membe r of the Baring banking family of England\, built a home in Flat Rock. He and his wife\, Susan\, wanted a summer place to escape the oppressive heat \, humidity\, and malaria of the South Carolina Lowcountry where they live d. \nAt the behest of Susan\, a devout Anglican\, Charles built a chapel o n the property of Mountain Lodge\, their newly constructed home. The small wooden structure soon burned down in a woods fire. In 1833\, work began o n a second church built of handmade brick. \nIn August 1836\, the Barings deeded their chapel to the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina\, and 20 me mbers of the Flat Rock summer colony of Lowcountry planters and merchants formed an Episcopal parish. In the 1890s\, St. John in the Wilderness beca me part of the Diocese of Western North Carolina\; it is the oldest parish in that diocese. \nWith almost all its congregation traveling home to the Lowcountry at summer’s end\, the church operated mainly during that sea son for its first 120 years. The Flat Rock summer community grew so rapidl y during the 1830s and 1840s\, however\, that the parish membership outgre w the small chapel. In the early 1850s\, the church vestry\, or governing body\, made the decision to rebuild the church\, doubling its size. The En glish chapel-style structure that stands today is\, with only a few minor modifications\, the church that was completed in 1852.

Susan Gaire came to ot her female weavers in Western North Carolina with an idea: Collaborate on a single image\, with each artist weaving her own personality into their p anel of the tapestry. This piece was designed in early 2025\, and weaving took place between October 2025 and March 2026. Weavers were given a gener al color palette\, size guidelines\, and the placement of the three ridgel ines that run continuously across the piece\, but otherwise had full creat ive freedom to decide materials\, technique and embellishment. The result is a nine-panel artwork that tells nine chapters of the same story. This one-of-a-kind\, 7-foot-wide tapestry\, inspired by the Blue Ridge Mountain s. \nAlong with Gaire\, participating weavers are Jacqueline Fay\, Jenny Z ia\, Kathy DeOrnellas\, Anne Berg\, Kathy Dennison\, Madelaine Hairrell\, Stephanie Lyon\, and Betty Hilton-Nash. \nLearn more about this exquisite piece here.

Good — that is the id eal way to do this one. Nobody needs to bring a friend. You show up by you rself\, we put you on a team of four\, and you spend the afternoon with th em.**\n\n**You get a phone\, a team of four\, and 75 minutes on Haywood Ro ad.**\n\nThis is a photo challenge\, not a walking tour. Each team gets a card with a dozen very specific\, slightly ridiculous challenges scattered up and down Haywood Road in West Asheville — track down a certain pair of country-and-drag icons painted on the side of a salon\, get a staff rec ommendation at a record store\, talk your team into the strangest group ph oto you can manage. Points for each one. Bonus points for style.\n\nTeams are drawn at the start\, so you will be paired with people you have not me t. That is the entire point. It is much easier to talk to strangers when t he four of you are trying to find a mural. Most people here will not know anyone either — that is true of nearly every Transplants event.\n\nThen we come back to Archetype West\, score everything out loud\, and hand out some entirely unserious prizes.\n\n**The Plan:**\n\n• 2:00 PM — Meet a t Archetype Brewing West\, 265 Haywood Rd. Grab a drink\, get sorted into teams of four\, pick up your challenge card.\n\n• 2:30 PM — Teams head out on foot. The play zone runs along Haywood Road between Archetype and Firestorm Books — a little under a mile each way.\n\n• 3:45 PM — Bac k at Archetype. Teams turn in their photos.\n\n• 4:00 PM — Scoring\, p rizes\, and food. Gan Shan West's kitchen opens at 4:00\, so this is the e ating part of the afternoon.\n\n• 5:00 PM — Official wrap. Stay as lon g as you like.\n\n**What to Know:**\n\n• Solo is the default. Teams are assigned on arrival\, so you will never be standing around trying to join a group. If you do bring a friend\, we will usually split you onto differe nt teams — you will both meet more people that way.\n\n• If you are ru nning late\, just text or comment and we will slot you into a team when yo u get there.\n\n• Free. No ticket\, no buy-in. Food and drinks are pay-y our-own\, and nothing on the challenge card requires spending money.\n\n • All you need is a phone with a working camera and shoes you can walk t wo miles in.\n\n• Archetype has free on-site parking\, which is a real g ift on Haywood Road on a Sunday.\n\n• Archetype does not have its own ki tchen. You order from the neighbors around the shared courtyard — Gan Sh an West opens at 4:00 PM\, and Pizza Mind and OWL Bakery are right there t oo.\n\n• There is a front patio\, a back patio\, and a rooftop\, so we w ill have room to spread out. The brewery is dog-friendly\, though a 75-min ute walk in the middle of the afternoon is not ideal for every dog.\n\n• Haywood Road is being resurfaced through November. Crews work overnight r ather than Sunday afternoons\, but you may hit a freshly paved stretch or a crosswalk under construction — watch your step at intersections.\n\n • Rain plan: if it is genuinely pouring we will call it. A little drizzl e and we go anyway.\n\n**Why This Event:**\n\nMost ways of meeting people involve standing in a room holding a drink and hoping. This one hands you a task and three teammates instead. You will finish the afternoon knowing a stretch of your own city better than you did at lunch\, and you will hav e actually talked to people — because you had to\, to find the mural.\n\ nNew to Asheville or ten years in\, knowing everyone or knowing nobody\, c ome play.

GRAMMY-nominated. IBMA-decorated. Opry-validated. But for all the\ naccolades\, they were often reduced to one line: an all-female bluegrass band. True—but never the point. Sister Sadie has always\nbeen about the music. The fire. The truth.\n\n\nTheir new album\, All Will Be Well\, is t hat truth—loud\, fearless\, and free. You’ll hear echoes of bluegrass\ , but what rises is\nsomething bigger: country with claws\, Americana with muscle\, gospel grit and raw storytelling.\n\n\nFrom the haunting “Prod igal Daughter” to the swagger of “Do What You Want” and the aching b eauty of “If I Don’t Have You\,”\nthese six women are not performing roles—they’re telling you who they are.\n\n\nThis is Sister Sadie\, e volved: bold\, bonded\, and braver than ever. They're not asking for space . They're taking it.\n\n\nAnd they’re just getting started.\n\n \n\nAbou t Kittredge Arts Center:\n\nNestled within the beautiful\, historic Warren Wilson College campus\, the Kittredge Arts Center provides a centralized location for the arts at WWC and WNC.

Their two practices\, though inherently different\, have parallels and similarities\, and during their time at the winter residency\, they began to notice these linkages. It was clear that their disciplines were exploring in the same vein\, during a subsequent w inter residency at Penland\, the two began research in the Penland archive with the idea of composing a collaborative body of work that would be int ertwined with the history of the craft school. The archive was packed with yellowed correspondence on onion skin\, notebooks of weaving notation\, a nd weaving samples. This was the perfect nourishment for a printer and a w eaver. \nThe founder of Penland\, Lucy Morgan\, began the school to teach Appalachian women to weave at a time when the craft had almost died out. T he goal was for women to learn to weave\, make home goods\, and sell them\ ; it was a way for them to earn a supplemental income. Once the plan was i n motion\, Morgan often bought the woven pieces from the women before she knew how or where she would sell them. She was so sure of the importance a nd value of the work at Penland that she often leapt before she looked. Sm ith and Wigglesworth were very moved and inspired by Morgan’s faith in t he idea of Penland and the way she plunged headlong into the work\, again and again\, without the luxury of certainty. This is the leap all artists have to make. \nExhibition end date: December 19\, 2026  \n \n(Community Event) LAST-MODIFIED:20260829T221452Z LOCATION:3135 Conley Ridge Rd\, Bakersville\, NC\, United States URL:https://penland.org/event/visitor-center-gallery-special-exhibition-op ens-unusual-care/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Penland School of Craft X-SOURCE-URL:https://penland.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Special Exhibition: Unusual Care DTSTART:20261006T150000Z DTEND:20261006T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260829T221452Z UID:10000233-1791284400-1797699600@penland.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:Unusual Care on view Tuesday – Saturday\, 11am-5pm\, October 6-December 19.\n(Exhibitions) LAST-MODIFIED:20260829T221452Z LOCATION:Penland Gallery and Visitors Center\, 2299 Conley Ridge Rd\, Bake rsville\, NC\, United States URL:https://penland.org/event/special-exhibition-unusual-care/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Penland School of Craft X-SOURCE-URL:https://penland.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Slides: Visiting Artist Collective (Paper)-Hanji Madang 한지 마 당 DTSTART:20261007T000000Z DTEND:20261007T004500Z DTSTAMP:20260829T221452Z UID:10000295-1791316800-1791319500@penland.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:All are welcome!
