Traditional Artist-in-Residence at Auburn University
The AFA and Auburn University’s Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities are proud to announce the new Traditional Artist-in-Residence program to spotlight, support, and share the work of talented traditional artists in Alabama! Artists will spend one week in residence at Auburn, teaching their craft at free workshops in local surrounding communities and AU classroom visits.
Meet the artist!
Our first Traditional Artist-in-Residence is master artist Annette Jordan (left) of Eutaw, Alabama. Ms. Jordan learned the art of pine needle basket weaving from her mother, Mary Hicks (right), over thirty years ago. She is passionate about carrying on this tradition and her mother’s legacy through making, teaching, and creating “a long-lasting art from the natural environment.”
