From the American South to Southern France, an artist comes home. Taking in an Alice Williams painting is a meditation; transporting, comforting, inspiring, and revealing. Alice's work is well-known for color play and thoughtful composition. Rhythmic strokes delightfully blur the sharp edges of reality and take the viewer into a lovely, timeless, secret world. This collection of oil paintings by master post-impressionist Alice Williams is both timeless and modern.

"The Best is Yet to Come" Exhibit @ Morgan County African American MuseumYou are invited to the opening reception of The Art of Charles Franklin on The exhibit will be featured in the MCAAM.
Artist Charles Franklin was born May 5, 1937 in St. Louis Mo. Raised by a single mother, Franklin moved to Harlem, New York when he was 7 years old. By that time, he was already exhibiting artistic ability drawing comic strips of the popular radio programs he listened to.
Franklin is known for his portrayal of African American life, he is a figurative painter that uses a vibrant palate with a folk-art style. Franklin excels in capturing images of everyday life that depicts family, community, music and dance. What makes Franklin’s work interesting is that the viewer can relate to the images. His characters show a sense of pride and familiarity that pulls the viewer into the art. From the dignity the character shows in his painting of “Aunt Aileen” to the relatability of daily life in the paintings “Pay Day” and “Quality Time”, Franklin’s work is more than just pretty to look at, but it also substantive.
Now in his 80’s, Franklin feels his best work is ahead and is thrilled to have his first solo exhibit at the Morgan County African American Museum. Franklin currently resides in Hampton, GA with his wife Coco and twin sons Omar & Jabari.

Introduction to Forest Therapy @ Hundred Acre FarmHundred Acre Farm, just outside of beautiful Madison, Georgia, is presenting an introductory guided forest therapy walk on their certified forest therapy trail. Forest therapy is a deep-sensory practice of taking in the forest atmosphere modeled after Japanese "shinrin-yoku" or "forest-bathing." The health benefits — lower stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and increased immunity — are supported by scientific evidence. Join us to learn how you can benefit!
Our walk will begin at 2 p.m. at the River Trail trailhead. Parking and restrooms are available at the Red Barn. Walk down from the Red Barn and turn right; the trailhead is on the left and marked with a sign. We will walk very slowly, stop often, and sit for periods of time, so it is a very low-intensity activity. Unlike a hike, we are not concerned with getting to a certain place by a certain time — we are interested in deepening our sense of presence and our connection to the natural world.
Important Notes:
* This walk is designed for adults or older teens.
* Wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the season and the temperature.
* Forest therapy walks continue in light rain unless the threat of lightning or hypothermia is present. Bring rain gear and an umbrella if rain is in the forecast, including waterproof shoes. Splashing in puddles is fun!
* Bring water, insect repellent, a hat/cap and a day pack large enough to carry these items (and rain gear, if needed). For more information Click Here

"The Best is Yet to Come" Exhibit @ Morgan County African American MuseumYou are invited to the opening reception of The Art of Charles Franklin on The exhibit will be featured in the MCAAM.
Artist Charles Franklin was born May 5, 1937 in St. Louis Mo. Raised by a single mother, Franklin moved to Harlem, New York when he was 7 years old. By that time, he was already exhibiting artistic ability drawing comic strips of the popular radio programs he listened to.
Franklin is known for his portrayal of African American life, he is a figurative painter that uses a vibrant palate with a folk-art style. Franklin excels in capturing images of everyday life that depicts family, community, music and dance. What makes Franklin’s work interesting is that the viewer can relate to the images. His characters show a sense of pride and familiarity that pulls the viewer into the art. From the dignity the character shows in his painting of “Aunt Aileen” to the relatability of daily life in the paintings “Pay Day” and “Quality Time”, Franklin’s work is more than just pretty to look at, but it also substantive.
Now in his 80’s, Franklin feels his best work is ahead and is thrilled to have his first solo exhibit at the Morgan County African American Museum. Franklin currently resides in Hampton, GA with his wife Coco and twin sons Omar & Jabari.
