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:
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)
In a bold return to ARTvision, Delia Cochran offers “Alchemy” - a moody, magical and emotional work of photography shot in Dahlonega, Ga. “Being able to donate a photograph to Positive Impact knowing that all the funds raised make a difference in the life of someone is a fulfilling way to make a small impact,” she says. This piece was framed by previous ARTvision Artist JD Isaacs at Rose Squared Gallery & Framing in Decatur, an ARTvision sponsor. (more)
Vicki rejoins ARTvision for a second year in a row with “Secret Garden” and “There’s No Place Like Home” - both terrariums with fully planted and growing flora, ready to brighten up your room at home. (more)

After the announcement of season seven for ARTvision Atlanta, "Uncharted: Travel to Enchanted Lands", fund-raising for Positive Impact officially starts after the Labor Day weekend. And we’re in need of re-signing existing sponsors, finding new companies and people, and finding a suitable gallery to house our even in early December.
In other words, we want you!
ARTvision presents a unique opportunity for an Atlanta-area gallery to give back to the community and allow some great works to be shown by national and international artists. From Zurich to California and New York to Denmark, we display works from all over the world that fit the year's theme. We want these pieces to shine in the best light possible. (read more)
ARTvision Atlanta - its artists, volunteers and beneficiary, Positive Impact - are proud to announce the theme for its seventh consecutive year of fund-raising and advocacy.
“This year you’ll see original works that challenge the consensus idea that travel is only a change of physical location,” says Will Pollock, ARTvision’s founding director and curator. “I am deeply proud of all that our artists have done, and will continue to do, when they accept this year’s theme as an artistic challenge.” (read the full press release)
