As we gather tonight to move some art and raise some cash for Atlanta’s own Positive Impact, it occurred to me: December makes sense as a month of contemplation and desire to do some good works to commemorate the close of each year. What other reason is there for parties seemingly happening every day this month?
But in the case of ARTvision, we started this event as a “movement” befitting the year’s ultimate culmination: the annual New Year’s Eve Gourmet Pizza Extravaganza. Even though ARTvision has now earned its own positive as a standalone event, it nevertheless maintains the spirit of closing the year with those aforementioned “good works” - where artists generously give of their talent so that we may support the great effort of PI. - WP (more)Tags: general posts

We whipped Stone Four Studios into great shape for ARTvision-7. HUGE, mad props to our hanging-party volunteers: Delia Cochran, Randy Chumbley, Kimber Herndon, Vicki Duke Proano, Jim Hayes and Michael Baker, among others. Our electricians, Ron Nelson and Mike Davis, put in major work to make the event happen, too. Have a look below at our photoshow as we got the studio ready for the big two-day event:

“I am fascinated by the natural world around us and how, if we look close enough, we can more strongly sense both its beauty and harshness,” she writes on her website. “My camera lens allows me to explore, embrace, and share my emotional connection with nature. What I most want people to take away from my photographic work is to have sensed one small slice of their environment in a new way: to see something they have not experienced before in quite the same way.” (more)Tags: new ARTvision Artists, photography, carolyn meltzer, jd isaac

While meandering around William Buter Yeats’ favorite home in Ireland, Thoor Ballylee, I found myself so transfixed that my co-travelers had to drag me away from the site. I don’t usually think of names while shooting, but in this case, it came very quickly. (read more)Tags: photography, will pollock, atlanta, artvision, positive impact
