Guests will convene at CCCD's
historic 67 Broadway Street building in downtown Asheville, to explore four
uniquely themed floors filled with art installations, live music, craft food,
and specialty beverages. The event features local cuisine provided by Posana,
Gan Shan Station, and Foothills Local Meats. Mayor Esther Manheimer will
welcome guests and the 55-member host committee, led by Robyn Horn of
the Windgate Charitable Foundation and Libba Evans who is the
former Secretary of the N.C. Department of Cultural
Resources. Benefit tickets begin at $50 for young adults (under 35) and
$100 for the general public.
Three distinct Back to the
Drawing Board installations by artists Jay Fox and Ellie Richards
(Penland, NC), Brice Garrett
(Brooklyn, NY), an Chris Watts (High
Point, NC) allow guests a one-of-a kind experience working with the artists
on hands-on projects or experiencing a site-specific immersive installation.
Two of the three projects will continue on Friday and Saturday August 12 -
13, free and open to the public from 12 - 6 pm.
"We are planning a
one-of-a-kind event in celebration of the history of CCCD while embracing the
cultural community and artists who make Asheville and Western North Carolina
the location that it is known for today," says Stephanie Moore,
Executive Director.
Throughout the building, guests
will preview a future Makerspace with live music by the Reggie Sullivan Band,
experience the exhibition Warped featuring
textiles inspired by sound, and enjoy a contemporary lounge created by
Mobilia and Four Corners Home. Ticketed guests will also receive a
commemorative vessel created by East Fork Pottery.
