The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Nellie Mae Rowe, the visionary artist, born on a farm in Fayetteville on July 4, 1900, will be celebrated this fall in a major show at the High Museum of Art, called "Really Free: The Radical Art of Nellie Mae Rowe."
The show will include about 60 pieces by Rowe, including works on paper, sculptures and dolls, along with photos of her work and life by Lucinda Bunnen, Melinda Blauvelt and others.
Support from the Art Bridges Foundation will allow the exhibit to travel to other museums through 2023.
