I'm happy to report that with the help of our summer interns extraordinaire (shout out to Crystal and Mallory!) we have posted a slew of programs for Spiegelman and Ringgold on the site. We still have some updating to do - as you'll see - so check in regularly for confirmation on dates and times.
Also - and this is cool - each artist now has a page of suggested reading. Wait, that might not be posted yet but it's coming soon. Many of these artists are authors too, but suggested reading includes some critical analysis and biographies/autobiographies.
stay tuned and enjoy!

The smArt speak: Distinguished Artist Series is made possible through a substantial grant from MetLife Foundation and its Museums and Community Connections program. The Asheville Art Museum is one of 13 museums across the country to receive this MetLife Foundation grant to broaden its programming and make art a larger part of everyday life. “MetLife Foundation has a long history of partnering with museums to support learning and development opportunities for people of all ages,” said Sibyl Jacobson, president and CEO of MetLife Foundation. “Museums enrich our lives in many ways, increase understanding of our world and reflect important cultural traditions. MetLife Foundation is pleased to recognize these innovative projects.”
The Buncombe County Public Libraries is a partner with the Asheville Art Mus eum in obtaining this grant. The Asheville Art Museum, Pack Memorial Library and several of the branch libraries will be locations for smArt speak programs including book discussions, films and workshops. “We are pleased to partner with the Asheville Art Museum in these programs,” said Ed Sheary, Library Director for the Buncombe County Public Libraries. “We know this series will benefit not just residents of Asheville and Buncombe County, but all of Western North Carolina and the southeast.”
Additional partners in this series include UNC-Asheville and the Asheville School. In-kind support comes from the Renaissance Asheville Hotel, Haywood Park Hotel, WCQS Public Radio, Malaprops Bookstore / Cafe and Fugazy Travel.
