SUMMARY:Fireside Chat Featured Artist Series: Jocelyn Mathewes (sponsored by FADE)
DESCRIPTION:While many artists dream of making a living solely from their studio practice\, an art-adjacent career can be just as rewarding and often more sustainable. Roles in operations\, marketing\, teaching\, film production\, or community leadership allow artists to leverage their creative skills while supporting themselves financially. These paths not only provide stability\, but also keep artists connected to the larger creative ecosystem\, offering opportunities to collaborate\, network\, and influence culture in ways that extend far beyond the studio.\nIn this month’s Featured Artist Series\, Jocelyn Mathewes shares how her own journey reflects this balance. By collaborating with Create Appalachia\, leading as the Chair of Johnson City Public Art\, and working as an Operations and Marketing Specialist\, she shows us how reciprocity\, leadership\, and the art of gathering can shape a career that is both meaningful and impactful. She shows us that the value of art doesn’t have to live only in the studio\, but can thrive wherever creativity is put to work. \nHow to register: No registration needed. Drop-in \nCost: Food/drink purchases encouraged to support our nonprofit \nLocation: Living room/Fireplace\, 1st floor

SUMMARY:*CANCELED* Buddhist Meditation: Turning Your Mind Into an Ally
DESCRIPTION:Turning Your Mind into an Ally Meditation Series With Kadam Sharon Lovich Resident Teacher of the Je Tsongkhapa Kadampa Buddhist Center (Located in Asheville) \n“Although living beings wish to be free from suffering\,\nThey run straight towards the causes of suffering\nAnd although they wish for happiness\nOut of ignorance they destroy it like a foe”\nGuide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life\n~Shantideva~ \nIn our ordinary life\, even though we work very hard to find happiness it remains elusive for us\, whereas problems seem to come naturally\, without any effort.

Includes guided meditation\, a talk and time for discussion. You are welcome to drop-in for the whole series or any weeks that work for you. \nHow to Register: https://www.meditationinasheville.org/wednesday-afternoon-drop-in-meditation-class-johnson-city-tn/ \nCost: $12  |( Free for JTK Members) \nLocation: Classroom/meditation room\, 2nd level \n Sept 3 – Turning Stress into Peace\nSept 10 – Turning Attachment into Love\nSept 17 – Turning Anger into Patience\nSept 24 – Turning Jealousy into Rejoicing
