A 1999 Oklahoma newspaper clipping that described a man’s final moments before execution inspired Julie Green to begin their series “The Last Supper.”
“He asked for a final meal of three fried chicken thighs, 10 or 15 shrimp, tater tots with ketchup, two slices of pecan pie, strawberry ice cream, honey and biscuits and a Coke,” they read aloud in a short documentary about the series.
You can see 377 plates Green painted with these last meals at the Georgia Museum.

Museums don't build job skills. That's what many people think. But our newest experiential learning program is not only preparing these #UniversityOfGeorgia students for their next step, it's also building bridges between campus and community.
