Flame azaleas at Hooper Bald<\/p><\/div>\n

By Gina Malone<\/p>\n

In celebration of a rare stand of native flame azaleas on Hooper Bald in the Nantahala National Forest, Graham County hosts the annual Flame Azalea Festival, in Robbinsville. This year\u2019s event happens Saturday, June 14, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Robbinsville High School, and organizers are promoting the family-friendly day of activities with the help of artwork by a Cherokee County artist.<\/p>\n

The festival goes hand in hand with Robbinsville\u2019s official recognition in 2018 as an Azalea City by the Azalea Society of America. (Wilmington is the only other Azalea City in North Carolina.) \u201cThe Flame Azalea Festival is important because it continues to kindle local interest and investment in not only protecting that rare native stand on Hooper Bald but also the ecosystem that causes them to flourish,\u201d says Amber Benton, assistant director at Graham County Travel and Tourism. \u201cIt\u2019s also important because we have a goal to increase the number of private and public plantings of azaleas in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a first this year, organizers commissioned a promotional poster for the festival, rendered by Anna Rose Garrett. \u201cI was drawn to Anna\u2019s work the first time I saw it, before I knew anything about her or had even conceived of the idea of the Flame Azalea Festival poster commission,\u201d Benton says. \u201cAs I became more familiar with her work and style, I felt like she was a natural fit for this project.\u201d Plans are to continue this relationship between regional artists and festival promotion.<\/p>\n

Garrett is a printmaker who lives in Andrews. \u201cI\u2019ve been drawn to process-oriented mediums from my earliest memory, but found myself particularly captivated by lino print in 2016, when taking a printmaking class at Berry College,\u201d she says. She graduated with a degree in Art Education and pursued other mediums before returning to printmaking in 2020. \u201cAt the time, my husband and I lived in Laos, Southeast Asia and I was inspired by the skill of Lao artisans and their love of their traditional crafts,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

For its symbolism and storytelling tradition, Garrett chose a quilt as a motif for the poster\u2019s design. \u201cWe intentionally chose flora and fauna that were regionally significant and set it in the framework of the quilt design so the two concepts could interact,\u201d she says. Garrett\u2019s husband Graham, who works with Mainspring Conservation Trust, helped with suggestions that would depict not only the place but a particular season as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what the Flame Azalea Festival celebrates,\u201d Benton says, \u201ca place and a season which has not only nurtured those amazing blooms but also cultivated a resourceful and creative culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

The festival includes a range of activities, including a demonstration of propagating azaleas through cutting, a river cane walk by a Cherokee artist who will discuss harvesting and using cane for weaving and instrument making, and a ceremonial azalea planting as well as art and music. A limited number of prints of Garrett\u2019s artwork will be available for purchase.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key thing we want people to experience, however, is Hooper Bald,\u201d says Benton. \u201cWe hope everyone will either take a self-guided or guided tour.\u201d Guided tours will be held Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Sunday, 1\u20134 p.m.<\/p>\n
