Almost, MAINE
2025-02-07 20:00 - 22:30 | Apollo Civic Theatre, East Martin Street 128, Martinsburg, WV, 25401, United States
A woman carries her heart, broken into nineteen pieces, in a small paper bag. A man shrinks to half his former size, after losing hope in love. A couple keep the love they have given each other in large red bags, or compress the mass into the size of a diamond. These playful and surreal experiences are commonplace in the world of John Cariani’s Almost, Maine, where on one deeply cold and magical Midwinter Night, the citizens of Almost — not organized enough for a town, too populated for a wilderness — experience the life-altering power of the human heart. Relationships end, begin, or change beyond recognition, as strangers become friends, friends become lovers, and lovers turn into strangers. Propelled by the mystical energy of the aurora borealis and populated with characters who are humorous, plain-spoken, thoughtful, and sincere, Almost, Maine is a series of loosely connected tales about love, each with a compelling couple at its center, each with its own touch of sorcery.

Cabin Fever Concert @ Historic Graham House
2025-02-22 15:00 - 17:00 | Graham House, Graham House Road 131, Talcott, WV, 24981, United States
CABIN FEVER is back! – Saturday, Feb. 22 @ Graham House

The second annual Cabin Fever concert at the historic Graham House in Lowell, WV is right around the corner and promises to be a great show! On Saturday, February 22nd, from 3 PM to 5 PM, three very talented musicians – Tish Westman, Hunter Walker, and Lewis Prichard – will join Appalachian duo Little Maggie to present a mix of traditional and original songs and tunes featuring a passel of instruments from clawhammer banjo to upright bass, fiddle to bowed psaltery, lap dulcimer to ukelele, mandolin to autoharp and more, in combinations perhaps never before heard.

For Tish Westman music is a way of life. As a youngster, she often found herself in trouble for whistling and humming at school. She now teaches, performs, sings, and composes on a variety of instruments, most notably lap dulcimer and bowed psaltery. Since 2001, she and her husband Greg have been the resident woodworkers at Tamarack where they build and sell instruments along with recordings and books of music instruction in their Noted Note style. In addition, they produce an annual Bowed Psaltery Symphony performance featuring as many as 60 musicians from across the United States. Among all these pursuits, Westman says her greatest passion is teaching others to play and watching them experience the joy of music. In 2011, she performed on Mountain Stage with her group Psaltrio, which included a budding young musician named Hunter Walker.

Walker began learning dulcimer from Westman when he was 13 years old. A quick learner, he started competing and went on to win numerous competitions including the West Virginia State Championship. But he didn’t stop there! His prodigious skill on clawhammer banjo landed him more first-place wins including another state title. To hear him play is to appreciate why. He’s an in-demand musician with extensive performance experience, a composer, a teacher known for his kind, approachable style, a founding member of Long Point String Band, and a West Virginia native proud of his roots.

Lewis Prichard, also from West Virginia, grew up in a musical family and began playing guitar at an early age. He took up mandolin as a teen and fiddle in his twenties. Skilled in a variety of genres from Old-Time to Celtic, his instrumental versatility and easy demeanor make him a welcome addition to many ensembles. Past adventures include taking his music as far away as Norway and playing in Virginia’s Mando Mafia. He is currently a member of Beckley, West Virginia’s Long Point String Band and Greenhouse of Lexington, Virginia.

Rounding out this unique collaboration will be Mary Dailey and Cheryl Mansley of Little Maggie with songs old and new – heartfelt, humorous, and haunting – as well as instrumental accompaniment on some ordinary and not-so-ordinary instruments. As hosts of a monthly Old-Time Mountain Music Jam, Dailey and Mansley love fostering community participation in the living tradition of Appalachian music. This year’s Cabin Fever concert is dedicated to that tradition and will celebrate the tunes and songs, musicians and instruments, and listeners – all part of what makes it so grand.

The Graham House is located at 131 Graham House Road in Lowell, West Virginia, off Rt. 12 (also Rt. 3), between Talcott & Pence Springs. Admission is $20/person at the door. Cash only, please. Doors open at 2:15 PM, and seating is first come, first served.
In case of inclement weather, the concert will take place the next day, Sunday, February 23rd. For more information contact Cheryl Mansley at 304-702-0554 or cherylmansley@gmail.com, or visit ArtBeat of the Mountains on Facebook.

We would like to thank Graham House, the New River Gateway CVB, and the Hinton Area Foundation for their support in making this event possible. We look forward to seeing you at this one-of-a-kind show that’s sure to cure even the most serious case of cabin fever!

ArtsLink presents the Andrew Collins Trio
2025-02-27 19:00 - 21:00 | Parlor Theater at Doolin Center, New Martinsville, Main Street 253, New Martinsville, WV, 26155, United States
ArtsLink’s 24-25 Concert Series Season continues with a performance by the Andrew Collins Trio on Thursday, February 27, at 7:00 pm at The Parlor Theater at Doolin Center, 253 Main Street, in downtown New Martinsville. Tickets for ArtsLink members are $10 for an individual and $20 for a family (2 adults and kids under 18), for non-members $15 for individuals and $25 for a family, student tickets are $5, and will be available at the door. Cash, checks, and credit cards are accepted.

As Collins gathers up innumerable JUNO nominations (5) and Canadian Folk Music Awards (7) won by his various ensembles, he’s zeroing in on the work he does with Trio-mates: fellow string guru Adam Shier whose versatility shines through on vocals, guitar, mandolin and in-the-pocket James McEleney holding it down on the bass, mandocello and vocals. Showcasing a dizzying number of styles and instruments on stage, Collins and Co. appear to live by the old adage, “idle hands are the devil’s workshop”, likely keeping them just ahead of his grasp.

Funding for this program made possible with assistance from West Virginia Northern Community College, the Antero Foundation, EQT Foundation, and WETZ/WYMJ Radio. This program is presented with financial assistance from the WV Department of Arts, Culture and History, and the National Endowment for the Arts, with approval from the WV Commission on the Arts.

Virtual Program: Affrilachian Freedom Dreaming: Honoring Dr. Ancella Bickley
2025-03-28 10:00 - 11:00 | West Virginia
In honor of Women’s History Month, on March 28, West Virginia University Libraries’ Art in the Libraries will host the first Feminist Activist Artist in Residence Catron Booker for a virtual presentation and viewing of her forthcoming project, “Affrilachian Freedom Dreaming: Honoring Dr. Ancella Bickley.”

Booker’s project, a short film that explores Black resistance through the Dr. Ancella Bickley archives of the West Virginia & Regional History Center’s (WVRHC) West Virginia Feminist Activist Collection (FAC), will be the result of the inaugural West Virginia Feminist Activist Collection Artist in Residency (FAIR) program.

As a Black feminist experimental filmmaker and performance artist, Booker incorporates Afrofuturism to envision Black liberation.

“The Art in the Libraries committee and the West Virginia & Regional History Center were honored to receive over 50 outstanding submissions for the inaugural Feminist Activist Artist in Residence program,” Art in the Libraries Curator Sally Brown said. “It was a privilege to select Catron Booker, whose Affrilachian perspective and deeply thoughtful feminist approach align powerfully with the mission of this residency. We are thrilled to support this groundbreaking project and look forward to the powerful dialogue it will spark around the Feminist Activist Collection.”

As the culmination of the week-long collaborative pilot residency program, Booker will discuss her experience as the first FAIR resident, her process and inspiration for exploring the Dr. Ancella Bickley archives and her resulting artistic product to be created during her residency at the virtual event.

Open to students, faculty, staff and the public, all those interested must RSVP to receive zoom information to join us on Friday, March 28 at 10 a.m.

RSVP for Event

Catron Booker.
A short experimental film, Booker’s project intends to honor Bickley’s legacy. A Huntington, W.Va. native born in 1930, Bickley is a historian, educator and author known for preserving and documenting the history of Black communities in West Virginia. Her work emphasized oral histories, genealogy and the contributions of overlooked Black scholars and activists.

Inspired by Bickley’s focus on overlooked “community builders,” Booker will interweave archival materials with footage of the Ohio River, a historically significant landmark in Louisville. The project will examine the river as both a visual metaphor and a site of historical continuity. As part of the residency, Booker’s virtual film screening and community discussion will engage conversation on Bickley’s impact and legacy.

Booker was selected as the 2025 resident for the inaugural FAIR program by the WVU Art in the Libraries Committee in collaboration with WVRHC archivists.
