The Beyond Gallery & Gift shop presents "Natural World," a collaborative art exhibition. It features 39 pieces of art by 21 artists. The opening reception is on Friday, August 7th from 5:30-7:30p. The show runs until Saturday, September 26th. Our hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10-6p, Sunday from 12-4p and we are closed on Mondays.

Join Lilwen Jones in her creative course dedicated towards instructing on the techniques used to craft artistry from the prairies, creeks, and forests of the Midwest.

You’ll be taught how to spot and forage for your own earthen materials. How to start building your own wild-smithing toolkit. And most importantly, how to honor your unique artistic style in each handcrafted piece you take home. The curriculum will include sculpting beads made from flower petal clay, crafting charms from midwestern fossils and crystals, learning how to press and preserve local flora, and practicing the basic methods of “cold connection” copper-smithing.

This workshop is all about finding the beauty hidden within the earth around us and channeling that essence into wearable works of art. If you have a passion for nature and a desire to learn basic metalwork, then this is the creative course for you.

Sparrow Smith and the Resonant Rogues return to People's Brewing Company Tuesday August 18th! Beautiful and sometimes dark, this will be an amazing night of roots and folk inspired by sounds from their home in Appalachia and traveling around the country performing.
Doors 6pm / music 7pm / 21+ / $13.39 (all fees included)
Rooted in the mountains of Western North Carolina, The Resonant Rogues are fronted by songwriting duo Sparrow and Keith Josiah Smith, who share a passion for movement and sound. Before meeting, falling in love, and forming the band in 2013, both traveled extensively throughout the U.S.- Keith by hopping freight trains, Sparrow with a circus troupe. In addition to their holler homestead, New Orleans and Nashville are their other musical homes, and the influences of both can be felt on The Resonant Rogues self-titled fourth album. The sounds of Appalachian old-time, classic country, and vintage soul all make appearances in this stunner of an album
