Crimson Laurel
Gallery in Bakersville, NC, Offers Two New Exhibits
Crimson Laurel Gallery in Bakersville, NC, is presenting two new exhibits including: Lost Crossings: A Contemplative Look at Western North Carolina's Historic Swinging Footbridges, a collaboration between photographer Shane Darwent and author Katey Schultz and Sharing, featuring original regional pottery made for entertaining. Both exhibitions are on view through Oct. 31, 2009.
In our upper exhibit
space we will feature Lost Crossings: A Contemplative Look
at Western North Carolina's Historic Swinging Footbridges
which is a collaboration between photographer Shane Darwent and
author Katey Schultz. The work includes a 60-page book with essays
and color photos, an interactive map, a gallery exhibition, and
a public presentation.
There are 23 swinging bridges in North Carolina, 13 of which are
in Mitchell and Yancey Counties - including the oldest swinging
bridge in the state, dated to 1947. The exhibit focuses on the
swinging bridges of Mitchell and Yancey counties.
