The Gadsden Museum of Art will be featuring a new exhibit through Aug. 27, focusing on the natural beauty of Etowah County. Mountain Thinking will be on display beginning this weekend
Amanda Agricola, curator for the exhibit, said she wanted to do something to commemorate the gift to the City of Gadsden by Agricola Properties, and her father, Jack Agricola, in the form of a triangular piece of Hensley Mountain.
Hensley Mountain is located southeast of Clubview Heights, and Agricola said the particular section that is being given to the city is a monadnock, defined by Britannica as an isolated hill of bedrock standing conspicuously above the general level of the surrounding area.
Two new exhibits went on display Tuesday at the Gadsden Museum of Art, located at 515 Broad St. downtown.
According to a news release from the museum, “A Presentation by the One-eye Opera Company and OEOCO Press” by Mary Ann Sampson will be on display in the main gallery, and “Portraitude” by Tony Reddick will be on display in the second-floor gallery.
Both exhibits will run through April 30. No in-person reception is planned because of COVID-19 guidelines, according to the release, but there will be a livestream hosted on the museum’s Instagram account and Facebook page.
Simpson, of Ragland, calls her work ““a personal stage and a memory stick for a life lived … a field for random thoughts and imagination.”
