Dr. Robert Nix taught for many years at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, instructing students in photography and pursuing it on his own time as well. The University of Georgia Libraries and the art school will have a program and reception tomorrow (Friday, May 1, at 2 p.m., in the Hargrett, on the 3rd floor of the Main Library) recognizing Nix's life’s work as the Library celebrates the donation of his outstanding collection. This program is in conjunction with an exhibit in the Hargrett Rare Book & Manuscript Library featuring a selection of Nix’s favorite pieces.
Also, local artist Chatham Murray, who will be having an open house Saturday, May 2, from 11 a.m. to dark, is the subject of an Athens Banner-Herald article today.
We haven't really talked much about the Crafting Romance exhibition at ATHICA, which is co-curated by one of our former interns, Rebecca Brantley, who worked with ex-curator of decorative arts Ashley Callahan in the CURO (Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities) program, but the exhibition is interesting stuff and has a number of associated events, including "Showing the Seams," from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. tonight (April 30). "Showing the Seams" consists of three new performance art pieces: "Stitches," in which artists Brian Hitselberger and Jessi Wohl will be sewn into bed together for the evening; "Imaginatively Conceived," by Andrea Trombetta, which will focus on garment construction; and "Loveseat," by Kate Schoenke, which will feature modern dance. Admission is a suggested donation of $3.
This weekend, May 2 and 3, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., is the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation's artist's market as part of Southworks.
And don't forget about the Indie Craftstravaganzaa in downtown Athens, also this weekend. Whew.
