Exhibitions

If you feel a spark in the air, it's because we're in the midst of American Craft Week, which runs through next Sunday, Oct. 16. This is the second year for the nationwide celebration of American craft traditions and innovations. Dozens of galleries, artist studios, festivals, and art institutions are taking part - more than 40 in western North Carolina alone. It's an opportunity to revel in wonderful handmade goods and celebrate the enterprising people who make them.

In 1974, when I was 14, I saw a film that made a lasting impression on me. That's Entertainment was a glorious tribute to the golden era of the Hollywood movie musical, a compilation of highlights from MGM masterpieces of the 1930s, '40s and '50s, such as Meet Me in Saint Louis, Singing in the Rain and Gigi.
