Main Street \nMarshall NC\, at 6:30PM\nIn the wake of Hurricane Helene\, a woman searching for her emu\, a man rescuing neighbors in a kayak\, and local artists reckon with the myth of safety in the North Carolina mounta ins.\n“Hell in a Climate Haven” is a short documentary capturing the a ftermath of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina through the eyes of those left to pick up the pieces: artists whose studios were washed out\, a woman searching for her lost emu\, and a man who paddled through flood waters in a kayak to save his neighbors. Set in Marshall\, Swannanoa\, and Asheville\, the film explores what’s left behind when a so-called safe haven is swallowed by disaster. \nWe meet a woman mourning the loss of he r emu\, swept away by the rising waters. A man recounts how he paddled his kayak through submerged streets\, rescuing neighbors in the dark. And loc al artists reflect on the fragility of both community and creation in the face of natural disaster. \nThrough poetic visuals and intimate voices\, the film challenges the notion of Appalachia as a climate refuge\, reveal ing the cracks in even the most "protected" landscapes. It’s a personal and urgent portrait of survival\, loss\, and the resilience of ordinary pe ople in extraordinary circumstances.

Portraits clash against lines that get smashed b y color patterns and fragmented by shapes creating dynamic and vibrant com positions. The duality between being traditionally schooled in art\, versu s his graffiti writer upbringing allows for a variety of techniques and st yles to converge in his work. Drifting from acrylic to aerosol and even in cluding soundscapes compositions and installations.\n\n\n"This exhibition is a collection of pieces that either haven’t been shown or have minimal ly exhibited.

A World War II vetera n and widower\, he is elected due to the political machinations of his bro ther. His new territory is the fabled Madison County\, North Carolina—a place of the steepest mountain ridges and most isolated coves and valleys. A place where the seasons matter more than the calendar and the past is a s real as the present.\nWhen he first takes office\, he hopes only to deal with the drunk and disorderly and stolen tractors\, but matters quickly a ccelerate into arson\, grave robbing\, and murder\, and he begins to suspe ct his own brother’s motives. He finds solace in the friendship of Cathe rine Metcalf\, a lonely high school principal whose husband has been in a coma and dying for years. Their only refuge is Clinton’s farm high in th e mountains\, where they can retreat from the world. As they seek to creat e a new life for themselves and the county\, political violence and family cruelty threaten to shatter their visions." \nLearn more about In the Ful lness of Time HERE\nLearn more about Terry Roberts HERE\nLearn more about Joe Penland HERE\n \;\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Literature LOCATION:Capitola Mill\, 177 Baileys Branch Rd\, Marshall\, NC\, 28753\, Un ited States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=177 Baileys Branch Rd\, Mar shall\, NC\, 28753\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Capitola Mil l:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:24@madisoncountyarts.com DTSTART:20251115T100000Z DTEND:20251115T150000Z DTSTAMP:20251006T193136Z URL:https://madisoncountyarts.com/events-calendar/christian-harmony-singin g-and-dinner-on-the-grounds/ SUMMARY:Christian Harmony Singing and Dinner on the Grounds DESCRIPTION: ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://madisoncountyarts.com/wp-content/uploads /2025/10/cropped-cropped-singing-school-for-web-head.jpg CATEGORIES:Music,Performance LOCATION:Church of the Holy Spirit\, 433 Bone Camp Rd\, Marshall\, NC\, 287 53\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=433 Bone Camp Rd\, Marshall \, NC\, 28753\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Church of the Hol y Spirit:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:23@madisoncountyarts.com DTSTART:20251128T110000Z DTEND:20251223T170000Z DTSTAMP:20251211T203101Z URL:https://madisoncountyarts.com/events-calendar/mcac-holiday-sale-2025/ SUMMARY:MCAC Holiday Sale 2025 DESCRIPTION:\n CATEGORIES:Art END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:27@madisoncountyarts.com DTSTART:20251212T170000Z DTEND:20251212T200000Z DTSTAMP:20251211T193102Z URL:https://madisoncountyarts.com/events-calendar/madison-rising-student-m ural-project-exhibition-opening/ SUMMARY:'Madison Rising' Student Mural Project Exhibition Opening DESCRIPTION:\nIntroducing “Madison Rising\,” a collaborative mural proj ect started in Rachael Kerley’s ART course at AB-Tech’s Madison County Campus on the one-year anniversary of Helene.

Both duos perform nationally and interna tionally and present an engaging performance filled with stories\, and ori ginal material based on the fabric of humanity.\nIn the world of Bluegrass and Appalachian Old-Time Laura Boosinger and Mike Compton are two of the most respected on the circuit. They appear as The Knackered Ramblers\, a l ight-hearted poke at the length of their tenure. \nMentored by Bluegrass l egend\, Bill Monroe\, Mike is a Grammy and IBMA Award-winning musician/com poser. He is a founding member of The Nashville Bluegrass Band and has wor ked with big names such as John Hartford\, Elvis Costello\, Norman Blake a nd Doc Watson. He contributed to the “O Brother Where Art Thou?” sound track which just celebrated its 25th anniversary at the Grand Ole Opry.\nL aura Boosinger studied traditional Appalachian music under the tutelage of David Holt\, and was a member of his band\, The Lightning Bolts. One of L aura’s truest musical friendships was the one she formed with George Shu ffler\, guitarist and bass player for the Stanley Brothers. Laura has been instrumental in maintaining the tradition of shaped note singing in works hops at major events like MerleFest. Her podcast “Down the Road on the B lue Ridge Music Trails” is featured on WNCW.\nTheir debut album “We B ’ Ramblin’” has garnered this praise: \n"It’s hardly surprising th en that the pair’s initial collaboration\, the aptly titled\nWe B Rambli n!\, comes across as lively\, compelling and thoroughly enticing. A combin ation of old-time tunes\, Southern spirituals\, and winsome originals\, th e music pays homage to a traditional tapestry. It’s an impressive debut\ , one that reflects Boosinger and Compton’s combined savvy and skills."\ nBluegrass Today\nEric Brace and Thomm Jutz are a formidable duo\, two sin ger-songwriters from Nashville whose second album\, Circle and Square\, ar rived in January\, 2026. It’s a gorgeous rumination on creativity\, art\ , beauty\, love\, and friendship in an age of destruction and hatred. Thei r last album\, Simple Motion\, hit #1 on the Folk DJ chart (FAI) in March\ , 2024.\nEric moved to Nashville twenty years ago from Washington D.C.\, w here he was leading his acclaimed roots-rock band Last Train Home\, named D.C.’s “Artist of the Year” in 2003 by the Washington Area Music Ass ociation.\nThomm moved to Music City from his birthplace of Germany in 200 2 and immediately became an indispensable sideman to the likes of Nanci Gr iffith\, Mary Gauthier\, David Olney\, Kim Richey\, and others\, while als o building a studio and a reputation as a producer and songwriter.\nEric a long with Peter Cooper earned a Grammy nomination for Best Children’s Re cord after making I Love: Tom T. Hall’s Songs of Fox Hollow.\nThomm was awarded “Songwriter of the Year” at the 2021 IBMA bluegrass awards. Hi s songs have been recorded by the likes of Tim O’Brien\, Billy Strings a nd the Steeldrivers.\n"Simply stated their recording\, Simple Motion\, ref lects these virtues. \n"Both Brace and Jutz are in that pantheon of musici ans that seem to be able to hit that elusive golden double – prolific an d sustained excellence. This album does not disappoint...Eric Brace and Th omm Jutz can do no wrong."\n- Rob Dickens\, Listening Through The Lens CATEGORIES:Music LOCATION:Madison County Arts Council\, 90 South Main Street\, Marshall\, NC \, 28753\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=90 South Main Street\, Mars hall\, NC\, 28753\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Madison Count y Arts Council:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:42@madisoncountyarts.com DTSTART:20260727T100000Z DTEND:20260731T130000Z DTSTAMP:20260714T163146Z URL:https://madisoncountyarts.com/events-calendar/art-camp-w-val-and-andy- clark-july-27-31/ SUMMARY:Art Camp w Val and Andy Clark July 27-31 DESCRIPTION: CATEGORIES:Class END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:44@madisoncountyarts.com DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260731T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260731T210000 DTSTAMP:20260722T190544Z URL:https://madisoncountyarts.com/events-calendar/the-depot-returns-to-mar shall/ SUMMARY:The Depot Returns to Marshall DESCRIPTION:\nWe are super excited to announce that the spirit of \nThe Mar shall Depot will fill the Madison County Art Council on Friday\, July 31!  \nLineup:\n6:30 AJ Shipman and the Southern Stars\n\n7:30 Rudy's Bluegra ss Review \n8:30 Logan and Rachael Clark and The Carolina Boxcars\n\nAs us ual there is no admission charge\, 50/50 Cash Raffle Tickets\, Cake walks\ , refreshments for sale\, \ndancing\, toe tapping\, making new friends\, c atching up with old friends and general merriment. \nIf you don't have a g ood time\, we will refund your entrance fee!   ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://madisoncountyarts.com/wp-content/uploads /2026/07/Marshall-depot-bw-logo-scaled.jpg CATEGORIES:Music LOCATION:Madison County Arts Council\, 90 South Main Street\, Marshall\, NC \, 28753\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=90 South Main Street\, Mars hall\, NC\, 28753\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Madison Count y Arts Council:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:43@madisoncountyarts.com DTSTART:20260803T100000Z DTEND:20260807T130000Z DTSTAMP:20260714T163205Z URL:https://madisoncountyarts.com/events-calendar/art-camp-w-val-and-andy- clark-aug-3-7/ SUMMARY:Art Camp w Val and Andy Clark Aug 3-7 DESCRIPTION: CATEGORIES:Class END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:40@madisoncountyarts.com DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260819T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260919T170000 DTSTAMP:20260819T160834Z URL:https://madisoncountyarts.com/events-calendar/holding-together-cloth-m aterial-and-making/ SUMMARY:Holding Together: Cloth\, Material\, and Making DESCRIPTION:\n\nLocation: Madison County Arts Council\, 90 South Main Stree t\, Marshall\, NC 28753\nThe Madison County Arts Council is pleased to pre sent Holding Together:  Cloth\, Material\, &\; Making\, a major group exhibition exploring weaving as both material practice and cultural metaph or.
