Upcoming TAC Talks
In 2018, Dr. Eric Plaag gave a talk at BRAHM about the August 1940 Flood, highlighting that it was only a matter of time before another similar event devastated Watauga County. Just six years later, Hurricane Helene crippled Western North Carolina, including Boone and Watauga County, causing millions of dollars in local damage and displacing hundreds of local families.
Join us for an in-depth look at one of BRAHM’s most ambitious exhibitions yet: “Daingerfield and the Tonalist Instinct.” We feature extraordinary works by Blowing Rock’s own Elliott Daingerfield, including some from private collections that have rarely been seen publicly, as well as works borrowed from major museums.
We hope you'll join us on Thursday October 23 at 11 am when BRAHM's curator Ian Gabriel Wilson will be in conversation with Pam McKay, guest curator of the exhibition Arlee Mains: A Life in Watauga. We will learn about Arlee, her relationship with Pam, and what it is about Arlee's paintings that still captivate us today. About the exhibit

Ever wonder what makes an artist tick? From where do they get their inspirations? How do their life experiences translate into great works of art? And how do they make art with a message that matters?
