The Franklin County Arts Alliance is sponsoring a combination Exhibit
Opening and Coffee House themed Open-Mic night Saturday, March 8,
beginning at 6 p.m. Several members of the In-Focus Photography Club of
Winnsboro are exhibiting their work in the main room of the Cultural Arts
building. Exhibitors include: Michael Alford, Jim Dyson, Eluria Holland,
Bonnie Moore, Joan Morris and Bob Williams. In-Focus is a teaching,
learning group that meets the last Monday of every month in Winnsboro and
welcomes new members and guests whether they are interested in family
snapshots or professional photography. Call Jim Dyson 903.365.2450 for
more info on the group.
Photos taken by MVISD senior student Kristen Decker will also be on
display in the Jack Cook Hall in anticipation of April Arts Student
Exhibits. Local artist, Tyler Roberts, has sketched Mozart, Bach and
Beethoven all with coffee cup in hand. His art will be displayed near
the Lake Country Roasters coffee table. These three composers were
coffeehouse enthusiasts. Bach is responsible for his famous “Coffee
Cantate” in which Lieschen broadcasts that “no wooer shall come into my
house until he has promised that when he goes to marry me I will be
permitted to cook my coffee as I will.” Beethoven recommended the
perfect cup of coffee be made using 60 coffee beans per cup. Captain
John Smith was probably the first person to bring coffee into the United
States.
Jim Cleveland will be the MC for the Open-Mic event starting at 6:30 p.m.
Anyone wishing to perform can sign up at the door. Both amateurs and
professionals are encouraged to showcase talents from poetry reading to
musical scores. During the coffeehouse themed evening the Lake Country
Roasters will have various flavors of coffee available and the FCAA will
provide desserts. Donations will be taken for the coffee and desserts and
will go to fund FCAA projects and facility expense. There is no other
charge for this event and FCAA directors are hoping the community will
turn out to welcome the Winnsboro photographers and enjoy the night
listening to local talent.
The coffeehouse is back. Come check it out Saturday evening at the
Cultural Arts Center at 100 Rusk Street one block west of the square.
Activity begins at 6 p.m. Call 903-305-8023 for more information or email
franklincountyarts@gmail.com.
Other FCAA activities in March include the March 29th “Novel Idea.” Three
local authors will give book reviews on recent releases and eat lunch with
participants. In April, local school welding classes will exhibit
projects for the FCAA “April Arts” Event and Audrey Norman’s High School
Art Class students will exhibit in the Jack Cook Hall. Cary Gable’s MVISD
Senior High School students will also have an evening devoted to poetry
reading in April.
