The Directors, Marie and Willoughby Marshall, embraced my art as a teaching opportunity, encouraging community involvement.\u00a0<\/em><span class=\"collapseomatic \" id=\"id9913\"   title=\"Artist review continues...\"    >Artist review continues...<\/span><span id='swap-id9913'  class='colomat-swap' style='display:none;'>Read Less<\/span><div id=\"target-id9913\" class=\"collapseomatic_content \">During the weeks of the show, February 8-March 15, 2013, several well attended events were hosted at the Museum including a festive opening night, several public forums, artist talks, and a closing reception. I collaborated with the Marshalls organizing school tours and coordinating events with local leaders and teachers. Visitors of all ages and walks of life found the museum experience to be a friendly interactive event.<\/p>\n<p>Many artworks were sold supporting my work as an artist as well as the venue itself. Inspired, I wrote a book and created two videos to accompany the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>The Museum was established in the historic Conter Fry house in Apalachicola, Florida, due to the efforts of Marie Marshall and her husband, Willoughby Marshall, the noted architect who led the restoration of this wonderful building. This location is now the St. Vincent Island National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center, however, the Apalachicola Museum of Art will long be remembered.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p>Visuals created by the artist for this exhibition include:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bethappleton.net\/?page_id=798\">Cut and Paste A Scrapfish<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bethappleton.net\/?page_id=798\">Gently Down the Stream \u2013 The Movie<\/a><br \/>\nGently Down the Stream \u2013 The Book<\/p>\n<p><em>To view slides, click\u00a0numbers on bottom bar below:<\/em><br \/>\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-3452\" style=\"max-width: 700px;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-108-0 metaslider metaslider-responsive metaslider-3452 ml-slider has-dots-nav ms-theme-default\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"AMOA\" data-height=\"600\" data-width=\"700\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_3452\">\n        <ul id='metaslider_3452' class='rslides'>\n            <li aria-roledescription='slide' aria-labelledby='slide-0'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bethappleton.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/AMOA-Appleton-Exhibit-1-1-700x600.jpg\" height=\"600\" width=\"700\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-3452 slide-3587 msDefaultImage\" \/><div class=\"caption-wrap\"><div class=\"caption\">was established inside an historical landmark by the efforts of Marie Marshall and her husband, Willoughby Marshall, the noted architect leading the restoration.<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n            <li style='display: none;' aria-roledescription='slide' aria-labelledby='slide-1'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bethappleton.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Crowd-at-AMOA-B.-Appleton-1-700x600.jpg\" height=\"600\" width=\"700\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-3452 slide-3589 msDefaultImage\" \/><div class=\"caption-wrap\"><div class=\"caption\">Opening night filled to capacity.
