The Art of: Music


Art Rosenbaum

The Art of: Music will take place next Tuesday, October 20! Hosted by the Young at Art committee of the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art, the event will be at Stan Mullins Studio on Pulaski Street from 7 to 10 p.m., with parking at the Leathers Building across the street. Art Rosenbaum, a Grammy Award-winning musician and artist, will perform old-time and bluegrass music with the Around-the-Globe Sea Shanty Singers and Hawk-Proof Rooster, featuring Charlie and Nancy Hartness and Earl Murphy. Refreshments will follow the performance.

Art Rosenbaum taught at the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia for many years and was the subject of a retrospective at GMOA in 2006. Stan Mullins, local artist and former student of Rosenbaum’s, uses an old cottonseed oil refinery as studio space. The museum staff is excited to be working with Mullins and Rosenbaum as well as using Mullins’ studio as a venue.

“The Art of” series consists of entertaining and educational events that celebrate craft beyond the traditional fine arts. The series is also part of “GMOA on the Move,” which is keeping the museum active in the Athens community and beyond.

Today is the last day to RSVP! Call 706.542.0830 for reservations and more information. The event is co-sponsored by Stan Mullins and The Athens Blur Magazine. The cost is $15/person for Friends of GMOA and $20 for non-members.
