Abandoned Rural America Show at the 2014 Cotton Gin Festival

November 1, 2014 Cotton Gin Festival Show

On November 1 the ARA artists displayed for sale some of the work that reflects the Abandoned Rural America Project. We also showed an ARA video version throughout the show in the lobby of the Lucy Agnes Hotel in Bostwick, GA. It was an uncharacteristicly cold and blustery day. Many of the visitors who came to see the parade didn't stay long for the other aspects of the Festival.

In this newest version of the ARA show we included the work of Kate Lebherz-Gelinas. Kate is an artist-craftsman with a focus on fiber arts and hand carved tools. Kate has created crochet hooks from a variety of materials. She lives on a small homestead in Middle Georgia with her husband and daughter and there, she harvests many of the materials for her hooks.

Below are some images relecting the show set-up and some photos of the show visitors.
