Join HMA Membership and Programs Manager, Kate Garvey, and artist, researcher, and collector, Barry Huffman for a docent-led tour of BRAHM and, more specifically, the exhibition Honoring Nature: Early Southern Appalachian Painting. This exhibition includes a significant loan of artwork from the collection of Allen and Barry Huffman as well as extensive research about the topic and artwork by Barry Huffman.

"The mountains of Southern Appalachia have long offered artists compelling subjects. Honoring Nature: Early Southern Appalachian Painting brings together expansive mountain vistas, intimate woodland scenes, and depictions of rural life by artists who visited, returned to, or made their homes in the region during the early and middle decades of the twentieth century.

The exhibition traces connections between Southern Appalachia and wider artistic communities, including Brown County, Indiana, and the urban centers of Chicago and New York. Through varied approaches to color, atmosphere, and form, these painters interpreted the region’s landscapes while developing relationships with fellow artists and local communities."
