Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for Monday, April 20.

Start your week with a burst of creativity as Art in the Airport makes its triumphant return to Asheville Regional Airport, with the call for local artists now wide open. Imagine travelers pausing mid-stride, inspired by vibrant walls of homegrown talent that capture our mountains soul, turning routine commutes into moments of wonder and boosting exposure for Asheville creators right where the world arrives.

Over in the River Arts District, swing by Mark Bettis Gallery at 123 Roberts Street today from 11am for the ongoing group exhibition When Light Returns, running through April 25. This free showcase features fresh works that play with renewal and illumination, perfect for a midday stroll that fuels your artistic spirit and supports our thriving local scene.

Music lovers, catch the afterglow from Sundays grand reopening of Echo Mountain Recording, where community and artists gathered to celebrate its revival under new ownership after last years challenges. This Grammy-nodded studio on Echo Mountain is back, striking chords that echo through our live music heartbeat and promising fresh tracks born from Asheville resilience.

Weather-wise, expect northwest winds picking up to 4 to 18 miles per hour with gusts nearing 36, under mostly cloudy skies and no rain in sight, following yesterdays mild 56-degree mosunny vibes. Ideal for outdoor adventures, so lace up for hikes or bike rides before those breezes turn brisk.

Looking ahead to Wednesday, gear up for Earth Day magic across Asheville and Western North Carolina, with cleanups along the French Broad River, family festivities at Tanger Outlets, and storytelling sessions with musician William Ritter at Pack Memorial Library. No event needed to join in, just grab reusable gear, pick up neighborhood litter, plant native blooms, or savor local farm-fresh eats, honoring the landscapes that define our mountain life since that first Earth Day back in 1970.

On the civic front, Asheville welcomes Walter Ear as the new director of Capital Management, steering smarter planning, budgeting, and design for projects that shape our growing city. And for those tackling personal challenges, Buncombes free Node-Link Mapping class kicks off this morning at 9am on the 15th floor of the courthouse, mapping thoughts and actions to spark real solutions in drug abuse counseling.

Dive into these happenings, Asheville, they weave the fabric of our vibrant community.
