He had a vision to return to Georgia and create PASAQUAN, the word-famous folk art compound. The site is a multi-cultural blend of influences from around the world. Atlantans may know his artwork from the downtown Olympic folk art park that recreates part of the compound.
Poets will be presenting works reflecting the struggle and triumph of the outsiders and visionaries in our community. Readings will be at 2 and 4 pm on Saturday, November 2nd. Want to read? Some spots still available.
