Money exhibit open through October 11

Sep. 3—An exhibit opening Wednesday at the Doris Ulmann Galleries of Berea College showcases the work of two prominent regional folk artists from Laurel County.

"Lonnie & Twyla Money: 50 Years of Kentucky Appalachian Folk Art" will open with a reception and talk with the couple as well as author Karen Abney at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. This exhibit runs through October 11 in the Lower Traylor Gallery in the Rogers-Traylor Art Building on campus.

The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

Lonnie and Twyla Money were raised in Laurel County. Lonnie is a skilled woodcarver, and Twyla paints the pieces once Lonnie has finished them. The Moneys converted a milking barn on their property into an art studio, where they create animal sculptures inspired by the rural setting of their home. They have exhibited their work in galleries throughout the commonwealth, and Abney's book chronicling their body of work bears the same name as the exhibit, which was released last year.
