Background:
The Asheville Rites Project is a public performance collaboration between painter Molly Rose Freeman, dancer Garth Grimball, and musician Michael Libramento. In April, Molly will install a series of wall-sized panels at the RiverLink Sculpture and Performance Plaza in the River Arts District of Asheville, NC. Over the course of a month, she will paint an abstract mural on them to act as a backdrop for a dance piece that Garth will choreograph. Michael will compose an original score for the piece, and it will be played live during the performance. The performance is scheduled for May 21 and will be free and open to the public. This project is made possible with support from RiverLink, Arts2People, Asheville Mural Project, and Asheville Ballet.

This is the reason we at RiverLink worked so hard to buy this and other property along the river – so people -evreyone could enjoy and use the river – our rivers are our melting pots! YEAH MOLLY AND GARTH !
This project is made possible with support of the above organizations and Many Private Citizens who donated $5 or more. They are a big part of why this event will happen. Let's applaud them as well for their generosity.
I'm really looking forward to seeing that mural. Asheville is lucky to have so many great artists living here.
