Welcome to the Funky Chicken Art Project. Our hopes are that we can provide enough information and directions for you to want to come visit us. We are located about an hour's drive north of Atlanta in the North Georgia foothills. Of course, if you are simply too far away, please enjoy our gallery from afar. Each month, we host a Woodcarvers Gathering here at the gallery. The third Saturday, this month that will be March 21st, from noon until 3:00, woodcarvers are welcome to come by and carve for the fun of it. We have no dues, officers or agenda, just carvers gathering for a few hours of sharing ideas, and having a good time. Summer classes are now being scheduled. Visit the classes page on our web site or e-mail to Christina White for more information. In 2008 we introduced Ronnie Pettit and Ester Lipscomb as artists in residence with working studios here at The Funky Chicken. Pettit is a painter who paints in a reverse style on glass as well as the more traditional style on wood or canvas. His talents also include black and white photography, woodblock prints, and primitive wooden spoon carving. Lipscomb is a potter who not only has functional pieces, but has also done some very successful pit fired pottery, and a wonderful selection of raku fired pottery. Our area has lots of nearby sites, and you may want to plan on a visit to the nearby Kangaroo Farm about 4 miles from here, stop in at Larry Greenway's woodturning studio at the corner of Hwy 52 and Hwy 9, or go horseback riding at one of the livery stable on our road alone. Of course, there is always Amicalola State Park about 4 miles down the road too. Come up and see us and help support the arts. The site is not secure for charge card purchases, but if you see something you cannot live without, or if you went home without something after visiting the gallery and it is haunting you now, call us and we can ship it to you. Our gallery has been featured in Southern Living Magazine again (July, 2006) in the Georgia edition. We were featured on GPTV on November 11th, 2005 on their "Best of State of the Arts" review program. That was fun, and brought in some new faces to the gallery. On November 27th, 2005, we were featured in the Gainesville Times Newspaper in the Lifestyles section.
