"From the Earth: Basketry" Museum Gallery Exhibition

"From the Earth" is a year-long celebration of artists who incorporate natural materials into their work. For generations, self-taught “folk” artists and traditional crafters from the American South have drawn inspiration from nature, incorporating natural elements into their work. While many artists continue to use naturally occurring materials out of necessity or to honor tradition, others are embracing these resources as part of a growing movement toward sustainability, creating art that also serves as individual efforts to support the environment.

This exhibition will feature basketry work from Sarah Bell, Will Holley, Andrew and Etta McCall, Miller's Baskets, and Robert Haygens.
