Marshall High Studios has two premium studios available at the Studios on Blannahasset Island in downtown Marshall. Both of the studios are 3/4 sized classrooms and the rent is accordingly less. Both available studios feature Marshall's famed North Light and look across the beautiful renovated park on the island. This is literally and figuratively the cool side of the building.
But maybe I'm just saying that because I used to be in one of these spaces and my studio perfectly met my needs. The other available studio was the other space I seriously considered when I 1st checked out the Studios in 2007. If you want to be part of a life changing group of artists and great people to boot, check these spaces out. Marshall is all about "the community". Contact Rob at 828.649.0177 for more information.

An Evening with Pearl Fryar - Thursday April 22nd, 2010!
A Man Named Pearl, a documentary that peeks into his plants and philosophies, will be shown at Belk Auditorium on the campus of Mars Hill College, April 22, 2010 at 6 pm. Mr. Fryar will also be at the event to share his unique perspective with the community.
Late in his profession as a manual laborer, Pearl Fryar began his true life's work in his backyard. At nighttime and on his days off from the cannery, Fryar worked tirelessly to turn his simple Bishopville, SC lawn into a fantastical world of topiary shrubs and artwork. He has crafted a sanctuary despite what the world told him otherwise.

Mr. Fryar will also be at the event to share his unique perspective with the community. A Man Named Pearl offers a remarkable peek into not only Fryar's beautiful garden, but also his beautiful spirit. If you don't know the story of Pearl Fryar, you are in for a treat. If you do know his story, you are in for an incredible treat. His is the story of rising above to create something from nothing.
"An Evening with Pearl Fryar" is free to the public. The event was rescheduled due to snow and is an extended part of the month-long celebration of Black History Month at Mars Hill College, and is made possible by funding from Lifeworks Learning Partnership, Madison Family Farms, and grant monies from the Ford Foundation.

Planting Marshall - April 15th, 16th & 17th!
The Marshall Landscaping Project, under the direction of Jess Hocz and committee, is coming along nicely. We've planted donated hops vines along the treatment plant fence with more coming soon. Thanks to Don Byers and Byers Environmental, we also received a donation of landscaping fabric. We will be making a big push next week to plant along Main Street and in the Pocket Park. Thursday and Friday, April 15 & 16, we will need a few folks who can assist with bed preparation. If you are able to assist on these days, please let me know.
Saturday, April 17, we will have MANY volunteers and their gardening tools planting throughout the town. Starting at 9 a.m. at the Pocket Park, next to Ponders Auto. Volunteers may drop off during the day so if you aren't an early riser, come down later and we'll find a spot for you!!! Bring water, snacks, your tools, gloves, wheelbarrows, sunscreen, etc! RSVP's are requested if you can make it, but not required. - Jennifer Flynn, NC Step Coordinator
