Prints & Prose

An Ode to Southern Appalachia

In collaboration with Knox Small Press Fest, Printmakers Anonymous invited artists and authors creating narratives about Southern Appalachia to this group exhibition hosted at Relay Ridge Gallery from October 4 – November 8, 2024.

This exhibition is a celebration of the everlasting relationship between our visual and written languages that help share our stories, history, folklore, and collective narrative of our experiences in this region. 

Prints and Prose: Ode to Southern Appalachia shares a collection of our stories – communicated in many ways – of chasing fireflies through cicada choirs, of these mountains older than bone, of miners seeking coal and marble, of small town porch light gatherings, of creeks babbling sweet nothings and of the faint echoes of song through our hills and hollers. Come gather to share our stories. Let’s look closely and listen carefully to the tales of Southern Appalachia.
