Pigment Sanctuary Art Party

The Pigment Sanctuary artist collective came together over eight years ago as a bunch of artists wanting to go to concerts and paint all the time. There’s a special comradery that is born out of spending weekend after weekend at festival after festival, painting after painting. We quickly realized that what we could create together was better than competing against each other. We would set up galleries under the same tents, sometimes as small as a 10×10 canopy, sometimes a circus tent that demanded two medium-sized elephants to erect the poles. We had as many triumphs as we did tragedies, and the ones who stuck around through adverse conditions, and even a tornado once, are the ones that make up the Pigment Sanctuary.

Buddhagraph Spaceship is an American rock band from Asheville, North Carolina with roots stretching from the old time to the far side and all foundations between. Creating a bridge between acoustic and electronic improvisation, they blend elements of Funk, Jam, Folk, Bluegrass, Gypsy Jazz, Americana, Progressive Rock, Reggae, and much more to achieve their eclectic sound. With a passion for creativity and the motivation to push boundaries, the band functions upon a musical paradigm for the further of artistic expression.

Beat Kitty Is the Heavy-hitting, Genre Defying, bass-driven powerhouse you’ve been looking for… Grounding-breaking rhythms and booty shaking beats make up the dynamic and playful producer/dj combo known as Beat Kitty. Her sets are ecstatic and dance-floors infectious; blending genres, skill, and a lot of low-end filth for the enjoyment of all.

A sophisticated technique for the delivery of squidges, squooshes, bleeps, blops, and other peculiar sounds. Best administered through a wall of subwoofers at an assembly of gyrating humanoid creatures. Sounds like: “a psychedelic after-school Satan Club for Furiosas and Lost Boys”
