September 15 through the end of the semester

Coke is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. In honor of this iconic southern company, the Center for the Study of the American South will be exhibiting selections from Stephen and Sandra Rich's personal Coke memorabilia collection. Stephen Rich is a former executive of the Coke Corporation and has a very large and eclectic private collection of Coke artifacts.  We will be bringing a portion of his collection over to the Love House and Hutchins Forum for display, including a painting by acclaimed folk artist Howard Finster.  It will be hanging in the Center's gallery from September 15th through the end of the semester.

The exhibition will be open to the public 9 to 5 Monday through Friday.
