Voted Western North Carolina’s favorite art event for the past 16 years, The Big Crafty celebrates the beauty of a human-scale economy and community-building soul-enriching creative work. ❤️

@Andr6wMale @swoonqueen Your Sister’s Sister was my first thought! It’s a go-to favorite ❤️

@swoonqueen Possibly Bessie, [taps sign] because they rightly considered LA Story too above-the-radar to get a mention. Good call on Your Sister’s Sister though. x

I need a good romcom. What was the last good minor/underrated/sleeper/lesser-known romcom you saw? I've seen all the big ones (including 30s screwballs, 50s and 60s sex comedies etc) but anything off-grid or overlooked will get my attention.

It’s our 15th year of art family sweethearts, old friends, and brand new talents! Come celebrate the community-positive creative exuberance at the heart of our mountainville. ❤️ Heartfelt thanks to @artsasheville & @cityofasheville for their enduring support ❤️ #asheville
