Bacon contributor Mary Jo Shankle recently wrote a beautiful post on Welty’s Delta Wedding and wanted to share an unusual opportunity. From Mary Jo:
A note to Welty fans in the middle Tennessee area…the downtown branch of the Nashville Public Library is featuring an exhibition of 36 of her photographs taken in the 1930s and ’40s. Welty was a prolific photographer and her work includes portraits, landscapes, and scenes
The Nashville exhibition runs through November 9th and is made possible through support from the Eudora Welty Foundation. The non-profit, volunteer-run Foundation helps fund a Welty scholar, celebrates the arts, develops teaching resources, assists in the preservation of the Welty home and garden, and hosts seminars, competitions, and festivals for young writers, established authors, and the public.
The Nashville Public Library is open Monday-Friday 9-6, Saturday 9-5, and Sunday 2-5, and is located at 615 Church Street, Nashville, Tennessee 37219. For more information, call (615)862-5800 or click here. See this article in the Tennessean for more information about the exhibit.

Many thanks for posting about the Eudora Welty exhibit. I very much enjoyed viewing it when I visited Nashville last weekend.
I’m so delighted to hear that you saw it! Thank you so much for being in touch! All good wishes to you!
If ever in Jackson, MS can visit her home…. https://eudorawelty.org/the-house/
I would love that! I will keep that in mind! Thank you so much for mentioning it.
