The Magnetic Theatre’s One Act Play Festival, which began during COVID restrictions, returns as an annual event. Plus, a documentary about the Haywood Street Fresco is streaming, an Asheville author launches a YA fantasy series at Malaprop’s, and Pink Dog Gallery hosts an exhibit by local artists.
Local arts leaders in various mediums identify up-and-coming or underseen peers that readers should be on the lookout for in 2021.
Equilibrium is the first paired show between local jeweler, Christie Calaycay and local woodworker and painter, Cris Bifaro. The two makers will debut their latest works, a combination of metal and wood creations, at Charlton Bradsher Art + Design.
Many of Christie Calaycay’s designs incorporate patterns and structures inspired by the natural world. Her more recent projects — like her Balangay inspired necklaces and earrings — aim to explore cultures.
