Featured Author and Artist Events Archives

To celebrate the completion of each issue of Appalachian Heritage we have a little reception, reading, and art showing on the Berea College campus. It is an occasion for readers to meet writers and artists and vice-versa and for everyone to rejoice at the completion of a lot of important work. The tradition started with an event in November of 2006, which highlighted a reading by three of the year's featured authors.
