What an honor it was for my husband and me to finally see a bit of the “workings” behind Appalshop’s tremendous contributions in connecting this region and the world beyond in such an authenticating and beneficial way for all parties! To be greeted and guided by Filmmaker Elizabeth Barrett herself and have her autograph one of her most famous films was an unexpected blessing! The flagship for so many smaller, but needed efforts,—such as our own Butler County Arts Guild—Appalshop is to be applauded for its 50 productive years!
