March 29, 2022 The Return of The Prodigal Son Book Club
This month our creative collective is going to read through Henry Nouwen’s book The Return of The Prodigal Son.
This book is an incredible example of how a chance encounter with art can lead to a deeper, even life altering spiritual experience.
When Henry Nouwen first came across Rembrandt’s painting of the Prodigal Son, he was catapulted on a long spiritual adventure that led him to write this deeply personal and resonant meditation on art and the story of the prodigal son.
Join us in April every Wednesday night at 8 pm eastern time and lend your voice to the discussion.

March 01, 2022 Porchight Series 01: Singer/Songwriter Carly Taich
In this episode, our friend and fellow arts advocate Justus Stout interviews songwriter Carly Taich and introduces Porchlight Art + Hospitality Network.
Carly Taich is a storyteller with the ability to lasso the darkest parts of the soul and deliver them with a smile. Her lyrics, often framed by swooning violins and barbershop harmonies, take us to another era, or dimension, where forgiveness is free and honesty, commonplace. There is a storybook mysticism to all Taich produces with one foot planted firmly in this reality. The paradox between the two worlds leaves listeners wondering if she is inviting them into a dream, or attempting to wake them up.
A multi-award winning songwriter, Taich has become a known name in her hometown of Asheville, NC and beyond. Her most recent EP It Tends to Glow, featured by NPR and American Songwriter, explores the many lenses through which one experiences Love. Blurt Magazine named her previous record, Reverie, “a start-to-finish, no-filler/all-killer gem—a veritable calling card to greatness if enough ears find it.”
