An experiment. A crucible. revolve is a space meant to serve and to foster innovative thinking about politics and poetry, science and music, food and architecture, word and image. A gallery/performance space as well as a classroom, revolve promotes contemporary, cross-disciplinary collaborations where diverse and thought-provoking writers, teachers, students, and makers can come together to agree,
disagree, write, create, make, exhibit and perform. Located in Asheville’s growing River Arts District and situated in two open, large, and welcoming spaces—one on the ground floor and the second above it—revolve is already connected with academic institutions in and around Asheville, including UNCA, Western Carolina University, and Warren Wilson College. As such, revolve can offer a wide range of opportunities for both students and teachers in addition to artists, writers, and performers as well as local restaurateurs, farmers, and engineers. Offering seminars and workshops in stimulating subjects such as From Cyanotypes to Pixels: Photograph as Keepsake, Document, and Object; Dreams and Dream Journaling For Creative Thinking; and Sex in American Cinema, revolve seeks to generate an environment that fosters open and productive dialogue to inspire, to push, and to challenge everyday assumption and idea. revolve seeks to evolve how we humans view the world and transform how we both share and shape that vision. see. think. make.
