. . . With the sound -- and sight, smell, taste, feel and motion -- of art!
Being overwhelmed with all the art opportunities in Morehead is not all that unusual.
Last night, on two different floors of the Rowan County Arts Center, groups were working on art book designs and writing 10-minute plays for performance at the end of the month.
Tomorrow afternoon, two authors of poetry and children's books will discuss publishing with MSU students, professors and community writers. Later in the evening, they will read from their works publicly.
Then, Thursday evening, a one-woman play which has been performed in NYC and around the country will be staged at the art center.
Saturday will usher in a day of arts, crafts, music and culinary arts at the Arts and Eats festival.
And all this is occurring in the shadow of the Poppy Mountain bluegrass festival, also held this week.
If all that is not enough art for you, just wait for next week's Cave Run Storytelling Festival.
We are a couple, Fannie and Alvin Madden-Grider, who started walking our Main Street from one end to the other in 2004. We picked up the rare pieces of trash we found, intending to throw them away. But as we walked and talked about what we had found, we began to create stories about what the lists and bills and receipts meant in someone's life. We eventually realized these pieces of life were destined to be art and got a Fuse the Muse grant from the Rowan County Art Center to create collages.
Come join us on our walks
Come join us on our walks down Main Street in our beautiful college town of Morehead, Kentucky, in the Daniel Boone National Forest. We will tell you stories, show you treasures we find, and share the art we make with our found treasures. We'll also share art jewelry we make, photos we take, and inspiration we find along the way. There may also be the occasional piece of flash fiction, a short play and poems. Like us on our daily walks, you will be surprised by what you find!
