COMMUNITY ART SHOW                              DECEMBER 4th - December 23rd
MY APPALACHIA

MY APPALACHIA is a community art show featuring the work of  thirty local artists as they explore what Appalachia means to them. Participants were invited to create a work of art in response to the theme "My Appalachia." Artisans could use any medium to explore what Appalachia means to them. Our region is home to a rich history and culture with music and traditional craft that tell the story of a people of depth and resilience. But we also face more than our share of adversity with disproportionate poverty, addiction rates, and all the side effects that come with these issues. Through exploring "My Appalachia", we aim to strengthen our community, inspire pride in who we are, and foster creativity.

FEATURED ARTISTS                                  NOVEMBER 7th - DECEMBER 3rd
TEMPLE REECE AND JOHNNY ANDREWS

Any artist may submit work in any media. To be considered, send us three images of your recent work (work completed within the last two years). Up to twenty artists will be selected to create a work of art in response to the theme, "My Appalachia." The work can be any medium (paint, clay, photography, wood, metal, fabric, etc). All work displayed must be family friendly. Deadline for entry is October 20. Selected artists' works will be due by November 25th and will be shown during the month of December.
