• You probably know Roger Manley, director of the Gregg Museum, as the soft-spoken guy who curates fascinating (and sometimes delightfully quirky) exhibitions. But how much do you know of his peripatetic past? His life as a filmmaker in Paris, climbing mountains in Greece, dancing on stage at ADF, living with a group of Aboriginal people in Australia, or working as a blacksmith? Discover Roger’s story in the new “Meet the Arts NC State Directors” blog.

• Registration for fall classes at the Crafts Center begins on Monday, July 19 for NC State students and on Monday, July 26 for everyone else.

• The refreshed windows of the Member-Made Street Gallery at the Crafts Center open on Wednesday, July 21.

• Flat File Fridays are back at the Gregg, with a new group of YouTube videos hosted by intern Miranda Green. Discover op art, a beautiful Chinese textile object, and well-designed vacuum cleaners.

• The Crafts Center has added new equipment this summer, including a WAZER water jet in the C:LAB (that cuts everything from stone to carbon fiber), a sand blaster, and two large kilns for the glass studio, which will allow students to produce larger-scale work.
