Holly Lynton Exhibition Reception

The Do Good Fund

Thursday, October 19 - 6:00PM to 8:00PM
Do Good Fund 111 12th St., Suite 103 Columbus, GA

Holly Lynton is an artist working primarily in photography with a multidisciplinary, research-based practice that includes writing, historical research, and collaborative works in other media. Her background in psychology inspires her to explore core aspects of humanity, filtered through local contexts. Her photographs are made in rural communities in the United States with a focus on their agricultural history, current industry, and ritual. Through her images, she underscores the importance of having unmediated experiences with nature and explores issues of sustainability. Currently, her work is investigating the intersection of spirituality, labor, and the environment. By incorporating recognizable symbols and allusions, Lynton highlights how cultural visual memory influences what we see in photographs.


The Do Good Fund, Inc. is a non-profit organization founded in 2012. The fund is focused on building a museum-quality collection of photographs taken in the American South since World War II. The collection ranges from works by more than twenty Guggenheim Fellows to images by lesser known and emerging photographers working in the region.


Do Good's mission is to make its collection of more than 800 images broadly accessible through regional museums, nonprofit galleries, and nontraditional venues and to encourage complementary, community-based programming to accompany each exhibition.
