Beverly Babb created the entrance of Pittard Park

This month’s installment of Artists in Residence, a fundraising series of tours benefiting WUGA, drops into the interesting Crawford home of two local artists and longtime friends, Beverly Babb and Deonna Mann. Babb is a sculptor and metalsmith whose commercial ironwork can be found around town at Jittery Joe’s, Clocked, Little Kings and Winterville’s Pittard Park. Mann is a painter and performance artist who recently returned to Georgia after a decade or so in Brooklyn. During the open house, visitors can check out the carport where Babb creates her metal sculptures and the picnic table where Mann spray paints her colorful stencil works. RSVP by calling 706-542-9842 or emailing [email protected].
