The Fairview Town Crier and the Fairview Public Library present a live Zoom event showcasing the talents of three local woodturners.
In a continuation of the Town Crier’s “Local Artists” series, Caroline Grenier, Mike Moore and Anne Ogg will display and discuss their works and techniques. We may even get a peek into their studios!
Woodturning—using a lathe with hand-held tools to cut wood in a shape around an axis of rotation—has been around since at least the days of Ancient Egypt. These artists are bringing a modern touch to the ancient art.
Caroline Grenier defines her style as “Where Unique ‘N Simple Meet Chic.”
Mike Moore makes bowls, jewelry dishes, ring holders, pepper mills and many other things.
Anne Ogg specializes in 1-inch-to-1-foot-scale miniatures for the dollhouse world.

The Black Mountain Library is thrilled to host Daleah Goodwin, Ph.D. as our Black History Month speaker. Daleah is a Professor of History at Warren Wilson College, where she teaches courses in United States History, African American History, and Women's History and serves as the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives.
Daleah will be discussing her forthcoming book Sisterly Affections: The Work of Miss Hallie Quinn Brown which examines the activities of the turn of the twentieth-century elocutionist, suffragist, educator, temperance crusader, activist, and a founding member of the Black Women’s Club movement.
This presentation reveals the ways in which Brown used the spoken and written word to bring Black women into educational, historical, and political conversations on their own terms. Please join us for a meaningful discussion about a very remarkable early 20th-century woman!

East Asheville Library
Listen to Dr. Frederick W. Gooding Jr. speak about his book, Black Oscars: From Mammy to Minny, What the Academy Awards Tell Us about African Americans.
Second only to the Super Bowl in audience size and revenue, the Oscars are more than a mere ceremony; they are a phenomenon. Hosted by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for over ninety years, the Oscars have long been considered the pinnacle of fantasy, beauty, romance and high class. They are eagerly anticipated and are heavily discussed. It is only recently that movements such as #OscarsSoWhite have raised awareness around the more complicated legacy of the Oscars and African American participation in film.
This book and presentation draws on American, African American, and film history to reflect on how the Oscars have recognized blacks from the award’s inception to the present. Starting in the 1920s, the chapters provides a thorough analysis and overview of any black actors nominated for their Hollywood roles during each decade. By…
