Alabama Folk Art and Music Exhibition

In celebration of the Year of Alabama Music, Vulcan Park and Museum will mount a unique exhibition of art that depicts Alabama folk musicians at work and play. The works of art – on loan from the collection of Bill Arnett – are the creations of local self-taught visual artists who share similar backgrounds and artistic viewpoints as their subjects. Those represented include such acclaimed artists as Lonnie Holley, Joe Minter, Charlie Lucas, and Thornton Dial. Through the creations of these great artists, visitors to Vulcan Park and Museum will encounter another artistic world – the world of Alabama folk music. Alabama’s folk music tradition includes its own take on blues, jazz, bluegrass, country, and rockabilly. Folk Art & Music will present original research into Alabama’s amazing folk music tradition alongside the works of art.
