This special exhibition features two major suites of prints by Buckminster Fuller among other remarkable works from his multi-decade career and is presented in three sections: Inventions; Synergetics; and Black Mountain College and Lasting Influence.

University of North Carolina Asheville’s STEAM Studio brings to life the designs of Fuller’s Fly’s Eye dome and Geodesic dome with student-produced models on view in the exhibition—two feats of design that transformed the history of modern architecture.
This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and The Maurer Family Foundation.

Potters of Madison County April 15, 2023 9 AM - 4 PM

A small group of North Carolina potters trying to enlighten the world with their wares.
In the last decade, the quiet mountain towns and townships of Madison County, North Carolina have attracted an ever growing community of artists and craftspeople. Madison County’s rich rural and agricultural history and its inhabitants’ collective respect for tradition and craft make a natural setting for the production of handmade functional and sculptural ceramics. The Potters of Madison County was created in order to unite, acknowledge and support the skilled and diverse group of men and women currently creating work in Madison County, North Carolina.
Members are Shirl & Jim Parmentier, Josh Copus, Joey Sheehan, Barry Rhodes, Becky Lloyd and Julie Wiggins.
Big News! The Potters Market is on for 2023! Come see us on Saturday April 15 from 9 - 4 at the Marshall High Studios.

From rescue vehicles and public works equipment to utility tractors and construction machines, community members have an excellent opportunity to “pull back the curtain” and learn about the equipment and skills required to maintain our cities and towns, foodways, and public safety systems when Asheville Parks & Recreation (APR) brings Truck City AVL back to Asheville Outlets on April 15 from 1-4 p.m. This community event is open to the public and free to attend.

A quiet hour (no horn honking) is scheduled from 1-2 p.m. to provide a positive experience for those with autism, dementia, PTSD, hyposensitivity, and other sensory considerations.

City of Asheville’s Fire, Parks & Recreation, Police, and Public Works departments plan to showcase several vehicles including a sweeper, excavator, and bearcat. Other unique vehicles including Blue Ridge Adventure‘s Mountain to Sea conversion van, a Humvee from the Army, Buncombe County’s emergency medical services vehicle, cranes from Asheville Arborists and Crane & Rigging Company, a concrete mixer from Carolina Ready Mix, and North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission’s fish stocking truck will be on-site, among others. With over 30 vehicles, be sure to plan plenty of time to explore trucks of all shapes and sizes.
