Center for study of Southern painting. Nationally, the Morris Museum of Art is the only museum dedicated entirely to Southern art and artists. The museum's programs include gallery tours, artists' lectures, workshops, annual symposiums, and musical performances. In addition, there is a gallery devoted to the works of Robin Hill and a gallery in memory of Dr. Robert P. Coggins. This exhibition presents a number of rarely seen paintings by Wood and Cone, who painted together from the time they were in high school, developing over the years the ideas that became Regionalism.
