HATCH Asheville is a four-day event celebrating a number of creative disciplines (journalism, film, photography, architecture, fashion, music, design/technology) through mentoring, workshops, demonstrations and panels. Expect to see fashion shows, film screenings, projections in the park and music all over town. Below is a collection of Xpress written and user-created content related to HATCH.
Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
Are any of the events streaming live?
I’ve never been to a Hatch event and have not had a desire to. Most of what they discuss can be found on the internet. I just wish they would make this a primarily Asheville artists based event to showcase them and promote them instead of artists from around the country.
@John – No artist is an island, even the local tree of creativity must be refreshed from time to time with new ideas & experiences. I personally always find at least one kernel of inspiration in what others are doing, either directly or indirectly.
What Hatch speakers bring can’t be found on the internet, especially in terms of human contact.
You should attend next year & amaze yourself with what you Hatch!
there’s “big love fest” (http://loveasheville.org/) on may 1st coming up as well as “makers and lovers” (http://coopasheville.com/) that night; stuff that could also be found on the internet but with a focus on local based artists
