FIRST FRIDAY AND BOYLAN HEIGHTS ARTWALK

NO LACK OF COLOR

"I create my paintings with an intuitive process. Nothing is planned or pre-engineered. I apply the paint on the canvas without conscious thought to subject, often rotating the canvas in different directions and looking to determine how the images will emerge. My paintings are often very sculptural, laden with texture and vibrant color, and always full of story. I use shape, patterns, and repetition to create whimsical scenes with rich tones and meaning. Much like the way a story provides setting, plot, characters, and action to elicit an emotion from the reader, I intend to do the same for the viewer through my work. Whether I’m creating icon-like imagery of strong female leaders like Ruth Bader Ginsburg or a surrealistic cityscape full of detail, I hope to energize the viewer and to provide them with that same sense of joy that I feel during the spontaneous and free process of painting."

– Linda Starr

Experience Shakespeare Like Never Before

We are excited to invite you to a captivating afternoon hosted by Rebus Works, featuring a segment of Carolina Shakespeare’s remarkable production of Macbeth.

Join us on Saturday, November 30th, from 4-5pm for an engaging exploration of this iconic play. Macbeth tells the story of a Scottish general whose ambition leads him down a dark path of power and betrayal. With its profound themes of fate, guilt, and the supernatural, this timeless work continues to resonate with audiences today.

The event will include a special introduction, a dramatic excerpt from the play, and an interactive Q&A session. This family-friendly gathering is perfect for both long-time Shakespeare fans and newcomers alike.

Best of all, attendance is completely FREE! While donations are appreciated to help support the arts, your presence is what truly matters to us.

We look forward to sharing this extraordinary experience with you!

Molley Chomper was spared from the flooding caused by Hurricane Helene, but instead of focusing on their own recovery, they're helping their community. They’ve asked for our support by buying their products, as they’re not expecting the usual fall traffic.

We’ve just received their Old Orchard Creek, a bubbly fruit wine made with blueberries from Old Orchard Creek Farm in Lansing, NC, as well as their Waterfall Maple Hard Cider, crafted from late-season apples and maple syrup from Waterfall Farm in Ashe County.

Consider bringing Molley Chomper into your home or gifting it this holiday season to support this wonderful local business and their community. Thank you for your continued support!

We are still reeling from the events that impacted our neighbors in the mountains, and we’re taking action by gathering GoFundMe campaigns and featuring them on our relief page. Many of the businesses we’ve reached out to that are still open have asked us to showcase their products, as they’re eager to attract autumn visitors. We’re also in the process of securing more of their offerings, so remember to think of Rebus when you begin your holiday shopping.

If you haven't experienced Nation's Pantry Scallion Pimento Cheese yet, you're in for an absolute treat.

The creamy, tangy blend of sharp cheddar cheese, zesty pimentos, and a perfect balance of scallions creates a rich, savory taste that’s completely addictive.

It’s the kind of snack that disappears fast when served with crackers, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself eating it straight from the container—it's that good. For the ultimate indulgence, spread it generously on a grilled cheese sandwich, and prepare to be blown away by the melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
