Collector’ s Showcase
The Brown County Art Gallery’ s“ The
Spirit of Stonehead: Our Brown County Icons” Collector’ s Showcase 2017 will be held September 15 through October 30.
When vandals took a hammer to the 160-year-old Stonehead marker on State Road 135 South and spray painted the historic Bean Blossom Covered Bridge, folks felt both anger and concern. The Brown County Art Gallery will present a series of events and exhibits to highlight some of our iconic locations.
The annual Showcase exhibit will be combined with a fundraiser to install a new marker at the Stonehead site. Other icons featured are: the Bean Blossom Covered Bridge, the Brown County Courthouse, the Old Log Jail, the T. C. Steele State Historic Site, the Brown County State Park, and the Brown County Art Gallery.
Their stories will be told through paintings by the early masters, etchings, and Frank Hohenberger photographs. There will also be work for sale from current artists and Norberto Nunes, a photographer
The Showcase is in collaboration with Peaceful Valley Heritage and Preservation, the Brown County Historical Society, and the Brown County Democrat. Continued on 61
