We are thrilled to welcome Elizabeth Ivey to the residency. During the month of September, Elizabeth will complete a series of 16×20 framed fabric collages and develop “Sunday Dinner at Grandma’s House” — a new body of work honoring the kitchen table as sacred space where Black women hold wisdom, stories, nourishment, and intergenerational presence. Working across handmade collage, fabric, embroidery, and found materials, each piece interrogates memory, legacy, and the quiet power of family ritual.

“I create as mixed media artist working in collage, textiles, and found materials. My practice centers Black interior life, memory, and generational inheritance through layered narratives. At Lamplight, I will complete intimate-scale framed fabric collages and develop a new body of work exploring the sacred space of family gathering.”

Elizabeth will hold an Open Studio every Saturday in September, inviting the community to witness her creative process in real time. Held from 11AM-3PM at Lamplight’s Residency at 821 Haywood Road.

Visitors can drop by to see work in progress, ask questions, and experience the studio as a living workspace. No performance or instruction-just authentic creative work on view. This honors the tradition of artists sharing their practice directly with community.

Welcome ankita sharma to Lamplight’s Residency at 812 Haywood! During their residency, ankita will be working on “Human, Vermin” – a 48-hour long live-and-livestreamed, interactive, solo endurance performance that investigates surveillance, mistreatment, and interspecies relationships along the human/animal divide. As human, animal, and environmental rights are systematically dismantled, they ask “How are humans treated “like animals?” How are the politics of disgust mapped on to human and animals alike?” “What does it mean to be a human that’s considered a pest?”

This dance-theater theater experiment uses immersive world-building design, audience interaction, maskwork, and animalistic improvisations to tell a satirical pseudoscience narrative about the evolution of humanity. During the residency, ankita and their collaborator, Soren Kodak, will be setting the space up like an indoor terrarium and creating a list of 48 hour-long improvisational scores to follow, during which they evolve from animal to human and back again.

In-person audiences will be invited into the space to observe and interact with ankita’s animal body according to set tasks, if they choose. There will also be surrounding visual and informational pieces about “Human, Vermin” and its concepts in the space. Come see it in person, or sign up for the livestream at the link in our bio.

ankita will also be teaching a movement workshop on Saturday, “March of Progress”. The link to sign up is in our bio, space is limited!

🌞 Want to teach at landslide Studios?🌞

While our larger event space is in development, we want to make our temporary classroom space accessible to the community for teaching classes and hosting arts-centered gatherings.

We are renting out the space hourly, and working to keep costs accessible for our community while also earning enough to help cover our costs for the space. We would love to hear about your class ideas! Hourly rates are currently offered at a sliding scale, starting at $35/hour. Visit the link in our profile to propose a class or event for the space!

🌀The Details:🌀
• The space is 380 Square feet
• We have many chairs as you could need, 2 8 foot tables, 1 large circular table, 2 large couches, and a utility sink.
• We welcome and encourage folks to charge for their classes. We hope this will offset the rental cost, and that you can earn income beyond your fee for the space.

The East-West Asheville Art Walk returns on 🌞Friday, July 10, from 5 to 8 p.m. 🌞This free community event brings art, music, performance, and creative exchange into neighborhood businesses, inviting the public to stroll between locations and experience the district’s vibrant artistic community.

Participating businesses throughout East-West Asheville will host exhibitions, installations, performances, open studios, and interactive experiences, creating opportunities for visitors to engage with the creative energy of the neighborhood.

At Lamplight Studios, visitors are invited to explore the artists studios and meet resident artists including Zoie Reamer ( ), Jess Godden ( ), Jade and B Aster of .avl , Olly Scarberry ( ), .korol , .skinner , and of , Alison Antaramian ( )and Sophie Hull ( ).

Former Lamplight resident Dawn Roe will present a selection of work from her recent residency at Lamplight’s residency space at 821 Haywood Road, featuring work from her newly forming body, Hydrofeminist Action Generator (H.A.G.), an amalgamation of practices reclaiming the hag as a revered figure and conduit between turbulent forms, gathering, rest, and resistance. Another former Lamplight resident, Ephemera House (Meg Mulhearn and David Lynch), will screen an ephemeral film installation in the studio classroom.
