Art Exhibits Lyndon House Art Exhibitions All exhibitions are free and open to the public. Common Structures Too often, the utilitarian secondary structures of the rural landscape are overlooked in favor of the grander mansions and plantation houses, which tend to idealize the image of America’s cultural past. This exhibition in black & white offers viewers the perspectives of Tim Reilly’s large format photographs of common structures along with pen and ink drawings of Pete Muzyka.

These artists have found expression through fiber, photography, clay, painting, drawing, mixed media prints, design, and the written word. The artists invite viewers to recognize their own stories as they view these works. Artists include Margaret Agner, Diane Barret, Carole Chalmers, Madeline Darnell, Carol Downs, Kittie Everitt, Catherine Hartley, Mary Padgelek, and Katie Ramsey Ages: For all ages (children must be accompanied by an adult) Group visits may be arranged by calling (706) 613-3623 ext. 226 Dates: Friday, November 21 – Tuesday, January 13 Times: Gallery Hours are Tuesdays & Thursdays from Noon – 9:00 p.m. and Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Location: Lyndon House Arts Center (706) 613-3623 Fee: Free See also: Lyndon House Arts Center - Special Events - Art Classes - Instructors
