There will be a special showcase of the Grace Johnson art collection and a fundraiser reception for the Friends of the Library from 4-6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16, at the Macon County Public Library in Franklin. 

Johnson spent much of her retirement years volunteering with the Friends of the Library. Her family is exhibiting some of the art she collected throughout her career, which took her to Vietnam, Korea, Germany, Grenada and Iran, as well as numerous stateside locations.

The art will be on display throughout the month of August and available for bidding to raise funds for the Friends of the Library. Refreshments will be served at the fundraiser reception.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
