Fostering the Arts in Franklin County

Art & Place: A Local, National, and International Conversation

Convened by Stacy Klein and Philip Arnoult, Double Edge Theater and local artists examine the role of "place" in their creative process, and in turn question the effect of their art on the community. August 6-8, an Art and Place Conversation will take place in four parts: Double Edge - a Case Study; Local Models; National & International Models; and a public meeting on Art and Place entitled A Rural Conversation. As part of the event's program, guests will also see performances of Double Edge's indoor/outdoor traveling spectacle the FIREBIRD. For more information about the weekend's events, click HERE.
