Stories: Repeat After Me – Curated by Doug Baulos

Featured Artists:

Sara Garden Armstrong – Pinky MM Bass – Sarah Bell – Jillian Marie Browning – Aaron Sanders Head – Sarah Marshall – Kole Nichols – Tracie Noles Ross – Sheri Schumacher – Irasema Quezada

Gallery Opening Reception: September 28, 2023, 6pm-8pm

Exhibition dates: September 28 – November 16, 2023

This gallery exhibit is free and open to the public.

“Many of the artists in this exhibition use an expanded approach to materials and processes juxtaposed in un-conventional ways to subvert traditional categorizations of materials and embrace a wider transience and engage more deeply in the specificity of the construction of their narratives and identities. They use a highly personal range of materials to become an important part of the taxonomy and language of their work.

Many of the artists repeat, and create site-specific installations that combine, and organize lived experiences that create a truthful, complicated, and interactional-accomplished spheres of understanding.

Several of the artists use found and historical patterns to complicate place and how connections can be made across cloth, dye, and artistic traditions. Much of the work has a multitude of sources that create interesting relationships that through time and examination get more complicated than they first appear.

In the exhibition, powerful stories connect the viewer as an active participant in the organization and design of the pieces and the space they occupy by creating a narrative that foster a culture of community building – focusing on liberation and human connection while highlighting the relationship between state of mind and physical experience. “

His unique brand of R&B-infused rock and roll and onstage swagger propelled the group’s signature song, “Keep on Smilin” to the Top 10 on the Billboard singles chart in 1974. After seven albums with Capricorn Records, Wet Willie moved forward to Epic Records releasing the singles “Street Corner Serenade” and “Weekend.” Both singles hit the US Top 40 and five other songs were placed in the Billboard Top 100.

About the Comedians:

Jody Fuller (Headliner):

Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer, and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq.  He is also a lifetime stutterer.

Recently, Alabama Magazine selected Jody as one of Alabama’s top 40 men and women over the age of 40 whose lives and careers are characterized by great levels of giving and achievement. He was also named as “one of the 15 Southern stand-up comedians that will make you laugh ’til you cry” by “It’s a Southern Thing,” and GI Jobs Magazine listed him as “One of 15 Veterans taking the comedy world by storm.”

Ernie Kennamer (Feature)

With a career spanning over three decades, Ernie Kennamer has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the funniest and most beloved comedians in the industry. Hailing from the heart of Alabama, Kennamer’s unique Southern charm and wit have captivated audiences nationwide.

Sunny Brown (Opener and Emcee):

Sunny’s charismatic, bubbly blonde personality always comes shining through in everything she does to the delight of her audiences, readers and fans.  Even though as a child she was always making her family laugh, and they always called her “Gracie” (a nod to the great comedienne Gracie Allen), she was a “Late Bloomer” and did not actually realize her talent for comedy until she was 47 years old.  It was at this time that she had a life changing epiphany, an experience that changed the course of her life, and she took an unexpected pivot into comedy

Paul Thorn has created an innovative and impressive career, pleasing crowds with his muscular brand of roots music – bluesy, rocking and thoroughly Southern American, yet also speaking universal truths. Among those who value originality, inspiration, eccentricity and character – as well as talent that hovers somewhere on the outskirts of genius, the story of Paul Thorn is already familiar.

Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, raised among the same spirits (and some of the actual people) who nurtured the young Elvis generations before, Paul Thorn has rambled down back roads and jumped out of airplanes, worked for years in a furniture factory, battled four-time world champion boxer Roberto Duran on national television, performed on stages with Bonnie Raitt, Mark Knopfler, Sting, and John Prine among many others, and made some of the most emotionally restless yet fully accessible music of our time. He’s also appeared on major television shows, received numerous National Public Radio features and charted multiple times on the Billboard Top 100 and Americana Radio Charts.

Paul’s latest release, “Never Too Late To Call,” is seven years in the making and features all original material. The CD was recorded at Sam Phillips Studio in Memphis and produced and engineered by Grammy winning wunderkind Matt Ross-Spang.
