Upcoming Events:
The University of North Carolina's Southern Folklife Collection will be hosting a Casey Burns and Ron Liberti Retrospective Poster Exhibit in March of 2008. I will be flying in for the event, and Ron and I will be guests on a panel discussion about poster art and the North Carolina music scene. More details as they become available. This is shaping into quite an event already. Live music is in the works, as well as a collaborative limited edition poster for the event by me and Ron Liberti. Ron and I both have large bodies of our work in the permanent Southern Folklife Collection.
