Spend your Thursday evening with the Museum and the Asheville Symphony for some creative fun! Associate Curator Cindy Buckner interviews artist Adonna Khare about using animals to tell fantastical tales in A Telling Instinct and her recently published coloring book. Following the interview, sit back, relax, and color selected pages from Khare’s book while listening to animal-themed music selected by the Symphony, introduced by Music Director Darko Butorac. Bartender Chad McRorie of the Grove Park Inn’s The Edison serves up creature-inspired cocktails, while Food Experience delights our taste buds with Perspective Café at home.

Space is limited; to register, email Kristen Boddy, membership & Museum events manager, or call 828.253.3227 x117. Coloring pages and Zoom login information emailed in advance to participants.
