NC Arboretum
in Asheville, NC, Offers America's Largest Collection of Small
Folk Art Houses & Structures
The
NC Arboretum in Asheville, NC, will proudly present the exhibit,
Building Small: American Folk Art Houses and Structures,
from the Collection of Steven Burke and Randy Campbell, on view
from Nov. 14 through Jan. 3, 2010, at the Baker Exhibit Center.
A magical gathering
of American folk art buildings reveals much about culture, clever
craftsmanship, and our architectural history. Houses and churches,
Ferris wheels and factories, castles and carousels - over 200
structures from the country's largest collection made largely
by anonymous persons from about 1890 until about 1950. The visually
rich temporary exhibit, loaned by North Carolinians Steven Burke
and Randy Campbell, shows the remarkable imagination with which
Americans have rendered small the places of their community, history,
or personal vision.
Exhibit support was provided by our Community Partner, Smoky
Mountain Living, and our Education Partner Asheville Buncombe
Technical Community College.
The mission of The North Carolina Arboretum is to cultivate connections between people and plants. The North Carolina Arboretum is located next to the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance at Milepost 393.
