The people have spoken. 👀

After three rounds of voting, we officially have a winner:

⚡ POWERED BY WONDER ⚡

Thanks to everyone who weighed in on our Spark! sticker ideas along the way. Now we get to turn the winning words into something you can actually stick on a laptop, water bottle, notebook… you get the idea.

Keep an eye out for this one, plus more fun Spark! swag coming down the pipeline. ✨

Sometimes curiosity gets a little… oversized. 💙

One of our favorite parts of bringing Spark! into the community is watching an experiment turn into something people can actually take home.

These giant harmonograph drawings started with motion, a little trial and error, and a lot of curiosity. The result? Art that looks different every single time.

That’s the kind of experience we want Spark! to be full of: make something, discover something, and leave with a story to tell.

Help us dream up the future Spark!. 💡

Imagine walking into a hands-on art + science space in Asheville. No “do not touch” signs. No standing back quietly. Just rooms full of things to try, move, build, test, and figure out.

Where would you go first?

A. The Light Lab
B. The Sound Playground
C. The Motion Studio
D. The Build-It Workshop

Asheville has mountains, music, food, art, and plenty of places to explore.

But we think there’s room for more wonder, too.

More places where kids and adults can touch, test, build, move, make, and ask, “what happens if we try this?”

That’s the bigger vision behind Spark!: a hands-on art + science experience for Asheville.

We’re still in the early stages, but moments like this help show what Spark! can become.

Spark! in action. ✨

This summer, our harmonograph has been helping people see how art and science can meet through hands-on play.

A swinging pendulum, a moving pen, a few curious questions, and suddenly motion turns into something you can take home.

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by, asked questions, and made patterns with us along the way.

Follow along for more pop-up updates coming soon.

Please touch the exhibits. Seriously. 👀

At SPARK!, getting your hands on things is part of the point.

Build it. Move it. Test it. Make something. Change your mind. Try again.

We’re creating an Asheville art + science experience where you don’t just stand back and look. You jump in, get curious and see what happens.

Consider this your future permission slip. ⚡

Curiosity is not a kid thing. It’s a human thing. 👀

SPARK! is being built for the people who still want to press the button, walk into the weird room, ask more questions and see what happens next.

Kids, grown-ups, families, friends, date nights, lifelong learners… if you love to explore, you belong here.

We’re creating an Asheville art + science experience where play, discovery and imagination are for everyone. ⚡
