SUMMARY:A Sharecropper's Daughter: Folk Art by Jessie Lavon
DESCRIPTION:The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough and Mike’s Art Truck are pleased to present a collection of paintings by self-taught folk artist Jessie Lavon. The exhibit\, “A Sharecropper’s Daughter: Folk Art by Jessie Lavon\,” is on display from August 25\, 2023 through October 2\, 2023 at the Alexander Dickson House\, the historic building which houses the Hillsborough Visitors Center. \nArtist Jessie Lavon speaks of herself as a sharecropper’s daughter. She remembers that sharecropper\, her mother\, as the best friend she ever had. She remembers a lot about the old days when she was a child on the farm in southern Alabama. She remembers details about the old ways of getting things done back then\, and she remembers the simple pleasures that brought joy to her as a child. These are the memories that she shares with us in her paintings and her stories. \nLavon hasn’t always remembered. Years ago a cerebral hemorrhage wiped out a large portion of her memory. At first she only recognized her mother. When she started to recall her childhood\, she began to paint what she remembered. As she painted\, she remembered more and more details of her early life. \nToday Lavon has no shortage of stories and she continues to paint every day. She has relearned many basic skills\, though not at her prior levels. A cheerful grandmother of many\, she spends her time gardening\, canning\, painting\, and enjoying life. \nExhibition artwork is available for purchase directly through Mike’s Art Truck. Contact Mike’s Art Truck for information by email at mikesarttruck@centurylink.net\, or visit their website at www.mikesarttruck.com. \nHeldover from June 2023\, this exhibit runs concurrently with “Low Country Memories: Paintings by Irene Tison.” \nThe Alexander Dickson House and Hillsborough Visitors Center is located at 150 E. King St.\, in downtown Hillsborough. Admission to the exhibit is free and open to the public during regular visitor hours. Free parking is available. For more information about Historic Hillsborough\, including the Visitors Center\, please visit http://www.visithillsboroughnc.com. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:"More Outsider Art in the Visitors Center"
DESCRIPTION:The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough and Mike’s Art Truck are pleased to present another special exhibit of folk art at the Alexander Dickson House in Hillsborough\, NC. Highlighted by the work of Savannah artist Rudolph Bostic\, “More Outsider Art in the Visitors Center” is the second in a series of shows featuring “outsider” art from a variety of self-taught artists. The collection is on display August 30 through November 28\, 2019\, inside the historic building which houses the Hillsborough Visitors Center. \nThe centerpiece of the current exhibit is a group of paintings by Rudolph Bostic\, a proud artist with a big smile. Painting on scrap cardboard\, Bostic has established a distinctive style illustrating Biblical and mythological scenes with rich\, fluid lines. Although his work has found its way into museum collections\, this is the debut of these three paintings acquired directly from the artist. The Bostic paintings are accompanied by art from eight other Southern folk artists: Charlie Lucas\, Myrtice West\, Ab the Flagman\, bailey jack\, Dede Spitz\, Eric Legge\, John Henry Toney\, and David Bryant.  \nArtists like these who create “outsider art” have developed their own styles and techniques without regard for – or regard from – the artistic establishment of galleries\, museums\, and critics. After being “discovered” by collectors\, some outsiders have gained a degree of acceptance\, even fame\, but rarely fortune. An internal spark drives them to keep making art\, even when art does not pay the bills. Known or unknown\, each artist is unique\, as are each of their creations. \nExhibition artwork is available for purchase directly through Mike’s Art Truck. Prices have been reduced for local sales. Contact Mike’s Art Truck for information by email at mikesarttruck@centurylink.net\, or visit their website at www.mikesarttruck.com. \nThe Alexander Dickson House and Hillsborough Visitors Center is located at 150 E. King St.\, in downtown Hillsborough. Admission to the exhibit is free and open to the public during regular visitor hours. Free parking is available.

SUMMARY:"Outsider Art in the Visitors Center"
DESCRIPTION:The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough and Mike’s Art Truck are hosting a summer exhibit and sale of folk art at the Alexander Dickson House in Hillsborough\, NC. “Outsider Art in the Visitors Center” is a diverse collection of art from nine self-taught artists. The show is on display now through August 29\, 2019\, inside the historic building which houses the Hillsborough Visitors Center. \nThe artists who have brought forth this variety-pack of work are not well-known\, and their art is not widely recognized. They have created their art without regard for – or regard from – the artistic establishment of galleries\, museums\, and magazines. For these reasons\, they are truly outsiders. Starting from unique motivations and circumstances\, these the artists developed their own styles and techniques. \nThe exhibit contains portraits by j.d. Sipe\, the artist known as “theartist”\, and Jim Shores\, as well as social observations from “The Reverend Johnny Ace.” Artists Alyne Harris\, Annie Wellborn\, and Bennie Morrison pay tribute to memories of old ways and hard work\, while Dede Spitz and Floria Yancey express aspirations and dreams of the future. A museum poster signed by Reverend Howard Finster represents a former outsider whose work was eventually recognized worldwide. \nExhibition artwork is available for purchase directly through Mike’s Art Truck. Prices have been reduced for local sales. Contact Mike’s Art Truck for information by email at mikesarttruck@centurylink.net\, or visit their website at www.mikesarttruck.com. \nThe Alexander Dickson House and Hillsborough Visitors Center is located at 150 E. King St.\, in downtown Hillsborough. Admission to the exhibit is free and open to the public during regular visitor hours. Free parking is available.

SUMMARY:"Art from the Holler" Folk Art by Cher Shaffer
DESCRIPTION:The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough and Mike’s Art Truck are proud to present artwork by North Carolina artist Cher Shaffer at the Alexander Dickson House in Hillsborough\, NC. “Art from the Holler by Cher Shaffer” is a new selection of unique creations by one of our state’s best-loved self-taught artists. The show is on display now through May 30\, 2019\, in the historic building which houses the Hillsborough Visitors Center. \nAt her home “down in the holler” in rural Appalachia\, Cher Shaffer draws\, paints\, sculpts\, or assembles art every day\, as she has done for more than four decades. Over the years\, her art has followed her life’s meandering path\, growing and changing with her own self-awareness. As a young mother of three\, Shaffer first painted rural landscapes in a traditional folk-art style\, work that was charming\, yet constrained. Gradually\, as she and the children grew\, her art became more fluid and introspective. Now in her senior years\, Shaffer feels liberated and open as an artist\, free to express her emotions\, and receptive to enlightenment from any source. She works quickly\, spontaneously\, and relentlessly\, completely consumed by creative forces. Reflecting her own optimistic energy\, Cher Shaffer’s fanciful paintings and assemblages are infused with joy and humor. \n“Art from the Holler” is Cher Shaffer’s second collaboration with the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough and Mike’s Art Truck. The artwork was chosen by the artist herself\, especially for this show in Hillsborough.  \nExhibition artwork is available for purchase directly through Mike’s Art Truck and can be picked up after the conclusion of the show. Contact Mike’s Art Truck for information by email at mikesarttruck@centurylink.net\, or visit their website at www.mikesarttruck.com. \nThe Alexander Dickson House and Hillsborough Visitors Center is located at 150 E. King St.\, in downtown Hillsborough. Admission to the exhibit is free and open to the public during regular visitor hours. Free parking is available.
