Knitters and crocheters (and any other yarn workers) come together to work on and discuss projects, yarn, and techniques. Open to all; bring your own supplies and works-in-progress.

Las personas que disfrutan del tejido, ya sea con ganchos o agujas (y cualquier tipo de trabajo con estambre), se reúnen para trabajar en diversos proyectos y dialogar al respecto, además de conversar sobre las técnicas empleadas y los tipos de estambre utilizados. Es una actividad abierta para todas las personas. Trae tus propios materiales y los proyectos en los que estés trabajando.

Bring your instrument, your song or someone else's, your voice, your spoken word - the mic is yours. Hosted by Marc.

A monthly gathering of writers who come together at White River Bookstore in Carbondale, where we connect to root ourselves in reflection through storytelling and journaling. Through prompts and meaningful stories, we will explore our beliefs, feelings, empowered actions, sense of belonging, and collective spirit for ourselves, our community, and the world. This is an invitation to slow down, connect, and find stillness and clarity in the act of writing together. Bring your journal and a pen! Donations are optional.

For 25 years, GREGORIAN have thrilled millions of people worldwide with their choreographed shows and their ability to switch seamlessly from classical chorales to pop and rock songs. Their concerts have set new standards.

With over 2,000 shows in 36 countries and more than 11 million albums sold, GREGORIAN are the most successful choir in the world.

In Spring 2026, GREGORIAN will continue with their PURE CHANTS World Tour in the USA.

Frank Peterson, the creator and producer of GREGORIAN says: “Our Pure Chants concerts bring the most popular GREGORIAN classics in an atmospheric and tranquil sound environment. Pure Chants concerts are extremely peaceful, yet spectacular and unite the audience with the most beautiful melodies in the world.”

The idea for GREGORIAN was born when Frank Peterson visited the royal monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Spain in 1989. Wandering through the medieval monastery and castle complex and listening to contemporary music on his Walkman, he found the inspiration for the sound experiment of mixing ancient Gregorian music with modern music.

Peterson first realized his idea with Michael Cretu and the worldwide sound phenomenon “Enigma”. Their first album “MCMXC a.D.” was released in 1990 and quickly became a worldwide success.

“MCMXC a.D.” was number 1 in 41 different countries and went 57 times platinum and 45 times gold. It is considered as the most successful German album of all time worldwide.

Carbondale Arts presents two new exhibitions in the gallery on display March 6-April 9, 2026. "Sweet Excess" by William Lanzillo brings to life giant contraption extrudes an impossible cannoli, at once grotesque and delightful. Performance and sculpture converge in a communal, larger-than-life dessert experience. Rooted in family nostalgia and childhood trips to bakeries, the work transforms a cherished memory into a nostalgic, collective spectacle.

"Structures Inachevées" by Ludivine Gérard brings together the evolving threads of work from the emotional layering of her series Recadrage to the fragmented presence of the human form in Silhouette. Each piece remains open, unfinished, inviting the viewer to complete the story or let it remain in motion. Across all series, the artist explores the tension between structure and absence, balance and disruption, visibility and silence.

The opening reception will be on First Friday, March 6 from 5:00-7:00pm with artist talks beginning at 5:30pm. The gallery is open weekdays 10am-5pm.

We are excited to invite families to our early literacy story times. Designed for all ages, we will enjoy stories, songs, and action rhymes in the Community Room. Sitting still is not a requirement for storytime. Young children can reap the benefits of storytelling and songs even while wandering. Give it a try. We would love to see you!

Con gran emoción deseamos invitar a todas las familias a nuestra hora de cuentos para respaldar la alfabetización temprana, creada para peques de todas las edades y presentada en nuestra Sala Comunitaria. Disfrutaremos de historias, canciones y juegos que combinan las rimas con el movimiento. La capacidad de permanecer inmóviles no es una expectativa para la hora de los cuentos, puesto que los beneficios de la narrativa y la música siguen siendo de gran beneficio incluso para peques que prefieren explorar mientras escuchan. Ven a conocer el programa. ¡Nos encantaría verte! El programa será facilitado en inglés.
