We believe in the spirit of a listening room, where audiences and artists share in the vibrations of creative exchange and, hopefully, experience a sense of transcendence and deeper connection. Our series of events aim to showcase a community rich with stories of all art forms, in the quest to thread the needle of our shared humanity, bring together disparate populations, and inspire a ripple effect of creativity beyond our own four walls.

UPCOMING EVENTS + GATHERINGS
SOLD OUT! | The holidays, despite their bright lights and jolly jingles, can be a difficult time for many who have suffered loss in their lives. Join Story Parlor for an evening of stories, music, and performance about finding good in the grief, joy in the world, and hope for the holidays. Featuring Nickole Brown, Ray Barfield, Eldon Smith, and Owen Walsh.
Join this gathering of personal stories hailing from different backgrounds that bind the human experience into the same world, featuring three local storytelling favorites: Wallace Bohanon, Chuck Fink, and Carolina Quiroga.
Held on First Sundays, join this all-arts open mic presented by Story Parlor and Speakeasy Improv. Prepare a five minute original piece in whatever medium you so choose — storytelling, music, poetry, literature, comedy, dance — or simply come to enjoy and support the local arts community.

Rescheduled | Embrace what haunts you for this evening of nightmare tales to chill the dark winter night.
Join us for an evening of poetry as voices from Asheville and Charlotte, NC, come together to explore themes of grief, reconciliation, identity, and the complexities of the South. This poetic reflection is a response to the impact of human and natural disasters and the resilience of Western Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

Please note we are an unconventional arts venue in that we do not solicit booking and our space is completely community-programmed (either through community rentals, or event proposals, the latter being exclusively offered for local acts). Due to the influx of messages we receive, we will not respond to emails requesting us to book solo music acts or review press kits. We kindly ask that any artists interested in performing at our space follow the proper protocol with the below forms.
