Raising Cane Premiere

The Cultural Event of the Season Just Around the Corner!

In addition to the world premiere of our new film, Raising Cane, The Cherokee and Rivercane, the program will feature Cherokee elders including Cherokee artisan extraordinaire, Mary Thompson along with conservationists from throughout the region. The panel discussion following the film will include Cherokee elders plus Adam Griffith, Director of RTCAR (Revitalization of Traditional Cherokee Artisan Resources), Torry Nergart of Conserving Carolina, and land stewards from RiverLink. Members of the Southern Appalachian Highland Conservancy along with the other conservation groups will have tables in the lobby to learn more about their work.

Following the program, in the lobby we’ll be serenaded by the Apple County String Band as we enjoy locally baked good and drinks furnished by local stores while celebrating the Center’s 15th anniversary and 50+ film.

The premiere date is Saturday, September 19th at 7:00 PM at the Thomas Auditorium on the campus of Blue Ridge Community College.

Tickets can be purchased here.
