The Great Folk Parade


Curated by artist Peter Loose, “The Great Folk Parade” is one of the largest exhibits of works by self-taught and vernacular artists of the South displayed within the recent past. Late and great Georgia artists like Howard Finster, RA Miller, Bennie Morrison and Annie G. Wellborn will be highlighted alongside contemporaries including Tex Crawford, Harold Rittenberry, Clyde Jones and Miz Thang. Drawn from local collections and from the artists themselves, works range among paintings, textiles, pottery, sculpture and mixed-media. An additional exhibit, “Crescent Lane Rug Hookers,” showcases both contemporary and traditional rugs created by the local guild’s members. Both shows will remain on display through Friday, Feb. 20.
