Soul of Appalachia
Perspectives from Western North Carolina
Small communities across Appalachia have served as havens for artists for generations. From the traditional crafts of Penland to the avant-garde art of Black Mountain College and the murals and makers of Asheville’s River Arts District, artists gathered and flourished.
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Western North Carolina demonstrated a generosity, resilience, and creativity that inspired many across the region and beyond. Those who have roots in the area understand it is the Appalachian way. Artists, craftspeople, makers, and families are the Soul of Appalachia.
Join The Art Gallery at Congdon Yards as we celebrate the spirit of Appalachia and honor Western North Carolina-based artists impacted by Helene.

Hide Tide in High Point: Environmental Works
A photography exhibition and environmental installation by Bryant Holsenbeck and Barbara Tyroler.
Holsenbeck transforms material that people no longer use into works of art. In this installation, she used plastic debris from watersheds and oceans to showcase an ocean gyre, a large system of circular ocean currents formed by global wind patterns and forces created by Earth’s rotation.
Photographer Tyroler’s portraits were produced in bodies of water from Sarasota to New Haven with new works from the North Carolina water series. The photographs explore the issues of vulnerability, control, our relationships, and how to navigate the transitions of aging.
