	05/05/09- 08/14/09 1PM - 5PM Exhibit Are Chairs Just for Sitting? Curated by Wayne Raab This group exhibition curated by Wayne Raab looks at Western North Carolina's rich history of furniture making and chairs being just one of the functions a furniture designer/maker might produce. This exhibition however is not about the history, but more about what is currently produced with a nod to history. The contemporary designer, craftsman, or artist has come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are self taught , some have apprenticed with a "master" and some have taken the academic route and have attended colleges and universities. Their inspiration for what they produce is as varied as their background . Some explore function or is it comfortable, some start with the material they choose to work with, some have exceptional technical skills, and some have their own unique design or art language to express themselves with. So chairs are not just about sitting and comfort but as much about the artist /designer/ maker and their personal expression in their work.
	09/01/09- 12/11/09 10AM - 5PM Exhibit Different Tempers: Jewelry & Blacksmithing, Curated by Suzanne Ramljak While jewelry and blacksmithing are both grounded in metal, there is a curious gulf between the two fields and the practitioners remain distant in spite of their shared medium. Curated by Suzanne Ramljak, editor of Metalsmith magazine, this exhibition will showcase the work of fourteen prominent and emerging artists, exploring the two realms of metalsmithing to highlight their distinct properties as well as their commonalities.
