ARTvision-5: "XL: Style & Substance"

Announcing ARTvision-6's Official Theme:
"restoreartive: creative therapy"

(ATLANTA :: 21 June 2011) Welcome once again to ARTvision Atlanta, the sixth-annual fund-raiser for Positive Impact, featuring approximately 15 to 20 of the nation and world’s most accomplished artists. We are proud to announce our theme this year:

“restorearttive: creative therapy”

This 2011 theme celebrates art’s wide-reaching therapeutic properties, drawn from all artistic platforms. All artists will be tasked with donating and creating works that support the idea that art can heal, instruct and expand one’s thinking and feeling. Works will include photography, painting, mixed-media, jewelry, pottery, metal sculpture and much more.

What’s new this year? Here are some of the first details:

  • New date/location. Our event, usually held at the home of Will Pollock on New Year’s Eve, will now be held on 1 December 2011, at The Phillip Rush Center on Dekalb Ave. Details about time to follow, but please mark your calendar for that date, which commemorates World AIDS Day.

  • Expanded collector donations. We are happy to announce a call to collectors who would like to donate a photography, painting or other piece of art for the purpose of raising funds for PI. For more on this great opportunity, please contact Will Pollock or Michael Baker.

  • Program advertising and artist exposure. In conjunction with this event, Will Pollock and Stone Four Media will produce a program with artist bios, donated piece information and advertisements from local businesses. Please stay tuned for more on this great opportunity.

  • Suggestion box. If you have an idea or would like to suggest an artist for this event, please contact us for more.

More information and artist announcements coming soon!
