Art Break: Expectant Gaze - Art from the Eye and Mind Docent-Led Tour
Come tour the Asheville Art Museum exhibition Expectant Gaze — Art from the Eye and Mind guided by a member of the Asheville Art Museum Docents. Expectant Gaze — Art from the Eye and Mind presents works from the permanent collection that probe art’s two oldest and most essential functions: rendering the visual world and envisioning new possibilities for experiencing it. This exhibition juxtaposes works in a range of media making these primary functions of art easier to consider. Works that seem realistic may be more heavily weighted toward the goal of depiction, while art considered abstract may be closer to the task of calling up the purely imaginary, but both exist along the same continuum. Bringing such seemingly disparate objects together opens new avenues for exploration, understanding and inspiration. A new selection of works, including some recent acquisitions, are now on view, offering new opportunities to experience the permanent collection.

Pilobolus
Pilobolus (crystallinus) is a phototropic zygomycete - a sun-loving fungus that grows in barnyards and pastures. It’s a feisty thing - only 1/4 inch tall - that can throw its spores nearly eight feet. Right over a cow. It is also a highly unusual dance company, now in its 38th year of evolution.

"Narnia" Based on C.S. Lewis' The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
The most famous story of the Chronicles of Narnia has become a musical! Narnia is an enchanted world filled with creatures and spirits of myth and fable, who are both good and evil, demonic and transcendent. The principal inhabitants are the intelligent talking animals ruled by the majestic King Aslan, the great lion of Narnia. Though Aslan is often absent from the land (so that his very existence is doubted by some), he returns when the need for him is greatest. And entering Narnia at a moment of high adventure are some children—plucked from our world to help Narnia who learn lessons of courage, unselfishness and wisdom along the way. The perfect show for the entire family!

Masterworks Concert 5 - Czech This Ot
Bohemia, now part of the modern-day Czech Republic, continues to this day to be a hotbed of musical excellence, with an impressive array of performers and composers who have left a lasting mark on our musical heritage. All three of our works in March celebrate these Bohemian roots. Mozart’s regal and vibrant “Prague” Symphony was dedicated to the citizens who adopted him as their own. We will also continue to honor our talented musicians from within the ranks of the ASO with our principal oboist, Alicia Chapman, performing Martinu’s inventive and surprising Oboe Concerto. The evening culminates in three evocative tone poems based on Bohemia’s beauty and mystery. The high castle overlooking Prague, the beautiful Danube River, and a Bohemian legend are all parts of Smetana’s proud musical testament to his homeland, Má Vlast.
