Crawford W. Long Museum Receives Arts Council Grant

Jefferson, Georgia, December 2007--The Crawford W. Long Museum has been awarded a grant by The Arts Council, Inc., Gainesville, though Georgia’s Grassroots Arts Program (GAP).

The $840 grant will provide 80 per cent of the cost of a program entitled “Words and Music: Stories through Folktales and Song,” was held for March 29 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Club House in Jefferson, Georgia on Old Swimming Pool Road. Admission is $1.00.

The purpose of the program is to showcase the arts of storytelling and folk music as “everyman’s” history and entertainment in the small towns and rural areas of the Georgia Piedmont.

The program will be given in two sessions; one geared toward younger children and another for teens and adults.

Jackson County storyteller Donna Butler and Athens trio the Solstice Sisters performed. The artists will also speak about their respective crafts, placing them within an appropriate context in the cultural history of this region. What a great show!

The concept for the program was developed by the City of Jefferson’s museum consultant, Lesa Campbell. Campbell said that this project “is a natural successor” to the museum’s and Better Hometown Jefferson’s oral history project for the town’s Bicentennial in 2006: “Jefferson: A Journey Through Stories.”

GAP grant funds are provided annually by the Georgia General Assembly and awarded regionally to create opportunities for community-wide access to the arts, target underserved populations, and/or contribute to activities that have a positive impact on community development.
