Kate Freeman Clark's Art fills the Gallery

When Kate Freeman Clark returned to her ancestral home at Freeman Place in Holly Springs, few knew that she had spent 29 years in New York studying and socializing with world-class art masters of the day. She had becomed an accomplished painter, especially with her plein aire landscapes, and was recognized with exhibitions in impressive venues in the Northeast. What townspeople found out within months of her death would be hard to fathom – that the spinster they knew as a typical Southern lady had created over 1,200 paintings and drawings and they were being given to the enjoyment of Holly Springs along with her home and funds to build a "museum of fine and social arts" to house them. Thus began the Kate Freeman Clark Art Gallery.
