ARA at the Lyndon House in Athens GA Through OCT 20th

The Abandoned Rural America exhibit is being hosted by the Lyndon House Arts Center in Athens, GA through October 20th.

Visitors mingle and discuss the exhibit during the reception

17 artist members of the ARA group as well as 8 of its writers are presenting their 5 year anniversary exhibit at the renowned Lyndon House Arts Center this month through October 20th. Our artistic group pays homage to the American farming tradition through visual and written works representing everything from old abandoned farmhouses, landscapes with farm animals, pottery representing often rural farm produced fare, and handmade models of rural structures, to poetry and anecdotal stories about rural life. Also exhibiting is an excellent representation of artistic fiber works entitled TEXTILES: The Sense of Touch in the upstairs galleries.

Below are some of what is on display at the Lyndon House Arts Center:
