In our 2nd part of this 4-part series, we feature local author and poet, Anastasia Lindsey, and the Barn Colony Artists! Admission is $10 per person. There will be a short intermission in between segments as well as light refreshments. After the event, all those in attendance will be able to tour the Homestead for FREE!
Anastasia Lindsey is an award-winning author & poet who published her first work of poetry, a book called OCEAN, in 2022 that explores topics of grief, the healing journey, pain, trauma, self-discovery, the transformational power of love, and is filled with many pages that include self-care activities for the reader to reflect and rest. She takes pride in launching herself into our unique and diverse world, to create poetic masterpieces that help us heal our hearts. Her soul is poured into her work and connects humanity, one poem at a time. She is also a photographer, singer, creative, and artist.
After Anastasia reads, we will feature three local student poets who won prizes during the first ever Decatur-wide high school student poetry competition in the fall of 2024.
The Barn Colony Artists have been going strong for decades, fostering the appretiation of art in our community. In the fall of 2024, Barn Colony Artists conducted a Plein Air event and painted local Decatur landscapes and landmarks. Those paintings will be on display at the Homestead and you will get to hear from some of the artists themselves!
