Artists in Residence, WUGA FM's monthly series of house tours and radio interviews with local artists, invites guests into the wonderfully eclectic home and studio of multi-media artist and graphic designer Cindy Jerrell. Known around town for her beautifully crafted, slightly peculiar wooden puppet boxes and endearing animal portraits in vintage costumes—plus dozens of Flagpole covers over the years—Jerrell has been hard at work in the studio crafting up new projects. WUGA host Michael Cardin will broadcast a live interview with Jerrell on Thursday, Aug. 14 at 3:15 p.m., and the tour will provide an opportunity to witness her work first-hand. Let it Be Yoga, Rubber Soul's new venture housed in the big red barn in front of the house, will host an exhibit curated by Jerrell that features the works of over a dozen artists including Peter Loose, Michael Pierce, Jill Carnes, Michael Lachowski and Rosemary Mendicino. Event proceeds benefit WUGA, and reservations can be made by contacting Abbie Thaxton at 706-542-9842 or [email protected]. The Artist in Residence series will continue with ceramic artist Rebecca Wood on Sept. 20, mosaic artist Krysia Haag on Oct. 18 and painter Philip Juras on Nov. 15.

3–5 p.m. $10-15. 706-542-9842, [email protected]
