For the next two weeks Molly Rose Freeman will be painting five 10' x10' panels for the Asheville Rites Project, a collaborative performance piece that comes together on May 21. The panels are installed in amphitheatre format in the RiverLink sculpture and performance plaza, an outdoor venue located at 117 Riverside Drive, across from the Cotton Mill Studios and 12 Bones Restaurant.

A dance choreographed by Garth Gimball is set to take place at dusk on May 21st (raindate is May 28th) at the plaza with Freeman's panels serving as the backdrop. Live music will be performed by Michael Libramento. The event is free and open to the public. In the meantime, you can swing by and check out the mural as it progresses.

This project is made possible with the help of Kickstarter donations, RiverLink, Arts2People, Asheville Mural Project, The River Arts District Artist Community, and Asheville Ballet

SETSE at the W.C. Reid Center

Check out setsearts.blogspot.com for some great pictures of kids at the W.C. Reid Center participating in an after school art program headed up by Cleaster Cotton. SETSE = Self Empowerment Through Self Expression. The program is being funded by 5 Walnut Wine Bar.

I love the paintings they're all making on the blog! Cotton says she's been teaching the kids methods she employs in her own work which you can see at cleastercotton.blogspot.com.
