Dixie Art Colony
The Dixie Art Colony was an art colony in Alabama from 1933 to 1948.
History
[edit | edit source]The Dixie Art Colony was established by John Kelly Fitzpatrick (1888-1953), Sallie B. Carmichael and her daughter Warree Carmichael LeBron in 1933.[1][2][3][4] The idea was to establish an artist colony to paint and train burgeoning artists in the South.[1]
From 1937, they met at Poka-Hutchi, a small cabin on Lake Jordan.[1][5] Later, Frank W. Applebee, the Chair of the School of Art and Architecture at Auburn University and a painter, joined the colony, as did Genevieve Southerland, Anne Goldthwaite and Lamar Dodd (1909-1996).[1][5]
The colony last met in 1948.[1]
Dixie Art Colony Foundation was founded in 2015 to reintroduce the art world to Kelly Fitzpatrick and Poka-Hutchi.[6]
