The Madison-Morgan Cultural Center (MMCC) will open its doors Aug.
26, for the premiere of its FARM 2022 exhibition, featuring original works of art from seven Georgia artists. The premiere night offers art lovers an opportunity to mingle with the artists 6-8 p.m., while enjoying light hors d'oeuvres.
A wide array of working artists was selected for the show, including Keith Bennett, Chris Cook, Lee Harper, Mollye Daughtry, Elizabeth Collins Hanes, Charmaine Minniefield, and Teresa Bramlette Reeves. Each was chosen for their distinct styles and personal experiences with rural farms in Georgia.
Curated by Mitzi Prochnow, each artist was paired with one or more local farms and asked to create an original artwork inspired by their locations and as an artistic expression of farms and lifestyles in our evolving rural economy and its changing aesthetic.
The FARM 2022 exhibit will remain on display in the MMCC galleries Aug. 26–Oct. 29, during regular hours. The MMCC is open Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.–5 p.m., and Sunday 2–5 p.m.
General Admission to the museum includes entry to the FARM 2022 exhibit. Admission prices are adults $5, seniors $4, students $3, children 6 and under free. For additional information, please visit online at mmcc-arts. org or call MMCC at (706) 342-4743.
