What is Asheville Aerial Arts working on?

We are excited for the year 2008 to be a year of growth and acquisition.  

We will be forming a theatrical performance troupe in late 2008.

A new website is in the wings.  This website is a starter site for Asheville
Aerial Arts.  While we try to keep the site information up to date, we are not
able to demonstrate the talents and abilities of our troupe with basic
posted still photos.  So, 2008 holds a new and exciting future for Asheville
Aerial Arts.  We are currently working with Derek Olson of Peak Definition
to bring you a professional and cutting edge website to showcase our
talents and abilities.  Check out Derek's work at www.peakdefinition.com
and get a sneak peak at his amazing vision and talent in photography and
website design.  Asheville Aerial Arts would like to thank Mr. Olson for the
opportunity to work together in this creative endeavor.  Please contact
Derek@peakdefinition.com for your website design.
How can you help Asheville Aerial Arts?

Thank you for asking.  Asheville Aerial Arts is an organization run with
passion and driven by the souls of our artists, directors, riggers, and
coordinators.  If you would like to donate time, money, storage, or practice
space to our cause.  We have rigs that we are struggling to store.  Should
you have a warehouse space or other dry space, we would like to talk to
you about rig storage and rehearsal space.  Asheville Aerial Arts is
always looking for additional rehearsal venues.  Please let us know if you
have an area conducive for rigging (exposed beams or rafters and
minimum of 12 ft ceiling height).  We also appreciate any feedback or
suggestions you have.  Please   call us at 828-230-4120 or email
accountsreceivable@ashevilleaerialarts.com .
Our mission is to bring aerial arts to the forefront of our community with professional and passionate commitment to the aerial arts.
Aerial Instructor Certifications
We are looking for aerial instructors to become certified to teach in our
new studio.  If you have aerial experience and are interested in our
certification process, please contact amy@ashevilleaerialarts.com or
email info@ashevilleaerialarts.  We will schedule a phone interview and
follow up with a meeting if we determine a possible match.  All instructors
will need to be certified and evaluated regularly.
