Left-Handed Liberty — Self-Taught Art from the Permanent Collection
On view through June 23

The self-taught North Carolina artists featured in “Left-Handed Liberty” sometimes
achieved recognition as innovative creative minds, but often started out exploring their
art in deeply personal ways. They made art in their homes, their workshops, or while in
prison; some were plagued by physical and emotional difficulties, and hard times. A few
sold their art on the side to admirers and tourists, and some even used their own homes
as their canvases or raw materials. The works exhibited in this show represent but a
small portion of the works by these inspired and courageous artists collected over the
years.
