Folk Art by Willie Tarver
Willie Tarver of Wadley, GA is the son of a share-cropper, a welder, and self-taught artist. His unique sculptures and paintings are reactions to life in the South including religion, slavery, farm life, and the struggles of the working man. His pieces are welded and crafted primarily from found scrap metal, though much of his recent work is exploring the 2D realm of painting and mixed-media. In recent history, Mr. Tarver has been in good company, exhibiting along side of Georgia folk legends, R.A. Miller and Howard Finster. His work is widely collected and has been exhibited at the Telfair Museum and is also on permanent display in Atlanta as part of the 1996 Olympic celebration.
Opening Reception July 3, 5-9pm.

Fly Over the Marsh
Photographs by Junko Muta
"Over the last 2 years I have watched the marsh from my apartment window,
everyday, with my different emotions. The marsh view was always there for
me and healed my mind. I stand in my room, and my mind flies over the
marsh. I am about leaving this apartment. These images are a record of my emotions."
Opening Reception July 3, 5-9pm.
