The Art and Legacy of Jarvis R. Boone
A special exhibition
Join us at the Catskill Creative Art Gallery in Wurtsboro, NY, on June 13th and 14th for a special two-day exhibition honoring the remarkable life and work of Jarvis Raymond Boone. Descended from the legendary Daniel Boone and born into the hardships of the Great Depression, Jarvis transformed his early experiences of simplicity and resilience into a rich visual memoir that brings to life nostalgic scenes of rural America.
This exclusive event, titled “The Art and Legacy of Jarvis R. Boone" captures his compelling journey from a young boy whittling small carvings with a simple knife in Paragould, Arkansas, to a master woodcarver, painter, performer, and entrepreneurial spirit in the Hudson Valley.
Notably, Jarvis Boone fostered local culture through venues like Tin Pan Alley and Bodles Opera House in Chester, New York. As a singer and storyteller, Jarvis created spaces for gathering and celebration, echoing throughout the Hudson Valley to this day. His vibrant energy shaped the artisan village of Sugar Loaf in the 60’s. The nearby Jarvis R. Boone Memorial Amphitheater at Larkin’s Green stands as a testament to his enduring impact in the community.
Discover the art and spirit of a man who lived an extraordinary life, from Depression-era woodcarver to beloved community icon. Whether you’re a fan of folk art, history, or storytelling, this event offers an intimate glimpse into the life of Jarvis Boone and the creative legacy he left behind.
This event takes place at Catskill Creative Art Gallery,110 Sullivan Street, Wurtsboro, NY
