It’s all about !PAPER!

Need another escape from Bele Chere this weekend? The Drygoods Shop in West Asheville is happy to assist. On Saturday, July 28, the multipurpose community arts space hosts a two-year anniversary celebration with !Paper!, featuring a dozen local artists, live music and more. 

All work in the show is made out of plastic. Just kidding; it’s all made with paper — that ubiquitous substance oft-heralded by artists for its accessibility and simplicity. The lineup, as eclectic as the shop itself, promises a wide breadth of creative perspectives, with local favorites like bookmaker Jean Potter, dressmaker/designer R. Brooke Priddy and beloved blogger/illustrator Robin Plemmons. The event will also include a performance by local artist/musician Andy Herod’s latest musical venture, Ghost Boots, at 7 p.m.

Free to attend. 6-9 p.m. 474 Haywood Road.

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.
