DAHLONEGA — “Affrilachia in Words and Images,” a series examining the African-American experience in Appalachia, continues at North Georgia College & State University this fall with an art exhibit featuring Marie T. Cochran, who will be in Dahlonega throughout September working on her installation. Cochran creates mixed-media pieces that are often grounded in community-based collaboration. She will be working at the Dahlonega Arts Council’s Olde Cannery during September and guests are welcome at the studio from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.
