Welcome to the Funky Chicken Art Project. Our hopes are that we can provide enough information and directions for you to want to come visit us. We are located about an hour's drive north of Atlanta in the North Georgia foothills. Of course, if you are simply too far away, please enjoy our gallery from afar. The gallery just received new work in June, 2008, by Luon St Pierre from Tucson, Arizona. She again brought along Daria Pigg who left with us a generous display of her delightful stained glass inspirations...still very difficult for me to photograph well I'm afraid.... Also, new in June, 2008, we have more handmade boxes by Richard Wilson, and some new pottery pieces by Jeanette Bottari, new paintings by Tina Kirk with soulful women's portraits in very moody settings, and two new heart stone sculptures by Barbara Rheingrover. Kim Rowland is our newest painter introduced to the gallery in June, 2008. Her work has brought yet another bright, colorful style with such wonderful potetial, that I feel her contributions will be well received. We have introduced Ronnie Pettit as an artist in residence, and we will be helping set up a studio for Ester Lipscomb, a local potter in the next few weeks. Our two new artists have fresh ideas and new projects every week. Attention woodcarvers in the area. We are sponsoring a Woodcarvers Gathering here at the Funky Chicken Art Project on the third Saturday of each month. We meet from noon until about 3:00. So, if you are an experienced carver, or have an interest in learning to carve wood, let me know. No agenda, no cost. Just fun. Please feel free to bring a project you are working on. The next "Gathering" will be July 19th, 2008. Our area has lots of nearby sites, and you may want to plan on a visit to the nearby Kangaroo Farm about 4 miles from here, stop in at Larry Greenway's woodturning studio at the corner of Hwy 52 and Hwy 9, or go horseback riding at one of the livery stable on our road alone. Of course, there is always Amicalola State Park about 4 miles down the road too. Come up and see us and help support the arts. The site is not secure for charge card purchases, but if you see something you cannot live without, or if you went home without something after visiting the gallery and it is haunting you now, call us and we can ship it to you. Our gallery has been featured in Southern Living Magazine again (July, 2006) in the Georgia edition. We were featured on GPTV on November 11th, 2005 on their "Best of State of the Arts" review program. That was fun, and brought in some new faces to the gallery. On November 27th, 2005, we were featured in the Gainesville Times Newspaper in the Lifestyles section. Another interest of ours is renovating vintage travel trailers. We have a new page on our web site featuring these fun pieces of American recreational history.
