A section of Howard Finster’s Paradise Garden in Summerville, GA that has been closed for more than a quarter of a century will re-open to the public this Summer.
Tina Cox, Executive Director of the Paradise Garden Foundation, says that funds have been raised over recent months for the restoration of the World’s Folk Art Church. Upon completion of that restoration, the structure will be opened for visitors to explore.
The re-opening is set for late June, according to Cox.
The public is asked to assist with fundraising efforts towards the continuing restoration. To donate, visit www.paradisegardenfoundation.org and click on Visionary Capital Campaign.
Finster himself closed the World’s Folk Art Church in 1999. Cox anticipates worldwide media coverage of its re-opening.
