Join Tryon Arts & Crafts School in celebrating the opening of a new gallery exhibition! Bayard Wootten is celebrated as one of North Carolina’s most remarkable, versatile, and productive photographers. While she photographed throughout the state from her home base in New Bern, she spent time in the 1930s documenting life and nature in the western Carolina mountains, including Tryon. Her compelling images of our region’s past, as well as a few other locales, will be on display at Tryon Arts and Crafts School from August 24 to October 18.
The photographs presented consist of archival pigment prints made from digitizing the original negatives in the Mary Bayard Morgan Wootten Photographic Collection in the North Carolina Photographic Archives at UNC, Chapel Hill.
The opening reception, on August 23, will highlight some favorite foods of North Carolina. There will also be future lectures on Wootten by her collection’s archivist Stephen Fletcher and Dr. Lili Corbus who will re-present a lecture on women photographers in Tryon from 1890 to 1950 (including Wootten).
This exhibition is sponsored by New View Realty. Other sponsors include Biltmore Wines and Cinda Austin of Mill Spring Farm Store.
Grace, Support, Love.
