Maud Gatewood: Catching the Moment
No dilettante debutante (though her good manners were widely lauded), Maud Gatewood (1934-2004), was a disciplined and accomplished painter, a respected teacher and an impassioned community activist. She has been described as a hard-drinking chain smoker, as blunt, feisty, tough and demanding, both of herself and of those around her. Yet her paintings are tinged with gentleness and sincerity, evocative without being literal. Most of all, the paintings reflect a passion for the landscape and a deep understanding of the human condition.

Would You Like Yoga With That? presented by LYLAS
Would You Like Yoga With That? is the fourth original production written and performed by LYLAS. Featuring all new material, Would You Like Yoga With That? is an original sketch comedy show in the style of Saturday Night Live. Though LYLAS pokes fun at all things Asheville and beyond, their humor is never mean-spirited. The show is infused with musical numbers and game shows, cameo appearances from recurring characters, and more pop culture references than a Trivial Pursuit game. Written, directed, and performed by women, but without any pesky political or social messages, LYLAS is just plain funny. LYLAS has consistently sold out performances for all of their past shows, recently opened for Henry Cho at The Orange Peel, and frequently has standing room only crowds. LYLAS (an acronym which stands for Love Ya Like A Sis and is commonly found scrawled in yearbooks or texted between phones) is a collaboration between seven Asheville women. LYLAS regulars Karri Brantley, Jenny Bunn, Sarah Carpenter, Emily Miller and Betsy Puckett return to the stage in this production and newcomers Robin Raines and Marissa Williams make their LYLAS debuts.

Emerson Woelffer: At the Center and At the Edge
Emerson Woelffer, a first-generation Abstract Expressionist, taught painting and drawing at Black Mountain College in the summer of 1949 at the request of Buckminster Fuller. Born in Chicago, he taught at the New Bauhaus there, as well as later in Colorado (at the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center). Ultimately he settled in Los Angeles where he influenced countless artists through his teaching at Chouinard, Cal Arts and at the Otis Art Institute. Black Mountain College was a center of modernist and alternative education in the United States. People affiliated with Black Mountain College include John Dewey, Josef Albers, Robert Motherwell, Charles Olson, Buckminster Fuller, John Cage and others. A friend of Motherwell, Olson, and Jonathan Williams, Woelffers connection with Black Mountain College ranged far wider than the one summer he was on the North Carolina campus. The title of the show At the Center and At the Edge highlights how Woelffers career paralleled the history of Black Mountain College. Both were highly influential, and yet both were not at the center of the physical hot spots of the artworld of their time. Further, both are currently being seen to have had far more significance than was apparent during their lifetimes. The title also references an essay Circles written by the source of Woelffers first name Ralph Waldo Emerson. In the essay Emerson (Ralph Waldo) likens the growth of ideas to the proliferation of circles drawn off the edges of other circles. The pieces on exhibit will survey the full reach of his career with a slight emphasis on works done around and in relationship to the time of his affiliation with Black Mountain College.
