Michael McCue-A History of Art in Tryon
Sunday, March 6th 3pm
A history of art in Tryon; a century of notable artists, collectors, patrons and galleries
Guest speaker Michael McCue will delight us with his extensive knowledge of local artists, art exhibitions and galleries. Location and artist highlights to include but not be limited to the Lanier Library, Pine Crest Inn, Blue Ridge Weavers, Rock House Gallery, Episcopal Parish House, TFAC, and The Upstairs Gallery. Artists discussed will include Amelia Watson, George Aid, Robert Pearson Lawrence, Homer Ellertson, Lawrence Mazzanovich, William Behrends, and Richard Christian Nelson among others.
McCue is a wealth of knowledge regarding Tryon's rich artistic history. Being a graduate of Harvard College where he studied art history, authoring two books on the subject of Tryon art as well as exhibition catalogs, curating numerous exhibits and running his own art gallery makes him an authority on this subject.

This not-to-be missed lecture will be on Sunday, March 6th at 3pm in the afternoon. Light refreshments will be provided. Mr. McCue will be available for book signings after the lecture.
