Pre-Formed Notes Zoom Presentation

I was proud to be the host of a Zoom presentation event May 12, 2021 in conjunction with Linda Matney Gallery titled, Pre-Formed Notes: Michael K .Paxton Reflects on Appalachia and Early Athens, Ga with Art Rosenbaum. This was a celebration of the life’s work of both Art and Margo and their current exhibition at the gallery. Here is the edited video of that Zoom.
