  • February 22,1996 AVestern Carolinian Features African-American Guitarist to Play at WCU Guitarist Algia Mae Hinton, one of North Carolina's foremost proponents of traditional African-American music and dance, will present a free program Sunday, February 25, at Western Carolina University as part of the campus- wide celebration of Black History Month. The hour-long program will begin at 3:30 p.m. in the Mountain Heritage Center. Hinton's playing "represents a proud heritage of creativity and artistic eloquence not often heard and only recently recognized," said Bill Mansfield, WCU folklorist. "She rarely performs in this part of the state, so her appearance at the Mountain Heritage Center is especially welcome." Hinton comes from the long tradition of African-American women guitarists, which produced such well-known artists as Elizabeth Cotton and Etta Baker. Her music began in the farming community of O'Neal township in Johnston County, on the eastern edge of the NC Piedmont. She learned to play guitar from her mother, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters, honing her music at dances, community gatherings and house parties. Folklorist Glenn Hinson brought Hinton's talents to the attention of a wider audience in the 1970s. She has since performed for the National Folk Festival in Wolf Trap, the Chicago Folk Festival, St. Louis Folk Festival, World's Fair in Knoxville, and at Carnegie Hall in New York. Examples of her music have been included on several albums, and noted folklorist Alan Lomax filmed a house party at her home for a documentary on black folk traditions. The concert will be preceded by the center's monthly children's program "Arti Facts!", a series of events designed to link old -time traditions of the past to the present. "Celebrating Black History Through Music" will begin at 2 p.m. For more information, call the Mountain Heritage Center at (704) 227 - 7129. Information contributed by OPI AMA MAI HINTON Cullowhee Arts Festival Brings Culture to WCU by Arch Stanton Staff Reporter The 1996 Cullowhee Arts Festival is currently underway. During the course of the week there have been several lectures, symposiums, performances and workshops. The Festival theme is "Arts and Politics." There will be an interdisciplinary workshop in the Belk Building lobby on February 23, featuring composer and performance artist, Patricia Ann Repar. Journalists Hal Crowther will present a lecture, "Unarmed but Dangerous," in the Coulter Building Recital Hall on April 17. In collaboration with the Arts Festival, a couple of exhibits have opened. The temporarily relocated Chelsea Gallery (now in the Mountain Heritage Center) is featuring the woven works of Elizabeth Billings and Catherine Muerdter. Meanwhile the Belk Gallery is exhibiting the Joseph Greenberg's "Retrospectives of Paintings of City Scenes." Greenberg's paintings are praised as able to "capture the tempo of the city perfectly." The Cullowhee Arts Festival will continue through the rest of this week featuring two "interdisciplinary workshops on creativity and collaboration" by performance artist/composer Dr. Patricia Ann Repar.
