 The Arts Development Council of Georgia (ADCG) will hold its next General Membership/Open Meeting at The Georgia Music Hall of Fame, 200 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Macon, GA 31202 on Wednesday, October 3 at 10:00 a.m. The ADCG is continuing it's membership drive and hopes many new members will attend. The ADCG three-point mission is cultivating a thriving economic environment for the creative expression and appreciation for the arts through entrepreneurial development, education and marketing.
The successful ' Two Minutes of Fame' show-and-tell introduction exercise will be held again. Artists are asked to bring a piece of their art (that they can hold in one hand) and should be prepared to give a very brief talk on their art. The first ten artists to register before the meeting will be called up at the meeting. Please contact Tina McCullough at (706) 783-4665 to book your time in the spotlight. Even if you are not presenting your work, please feel free to bring an example of your creativity along with you for possible critique and discussion during the breaks and networking time. "This is just a great way for us to get to know each other," Chair Bill Ronay said. "And a chance to show fellow artists your work, is always interesting." ADCG Guest speakers will include Lisa Howard, President of the Middle Georgia Art Association (MGAA) and Lynn Cass, Executive Director, Macon Arts. The MGAA is a non-profit dedicated to the promotion of the visual arts in Middle Georgia sponsoring scholarships, art classes, festivals, invitational exhibits and their gallery displays of members works.
Lynn Cass will describe the in-depth roll Macon Arts fulfills in the community.
