Coweta Artist Martin Pate at Fayette Art Center Jan 17
 
Watch An Artist Create a Painting of a Ballerina 
 
     Coweta artist Martin Pate has already made the news twice this month: when he gave a talk at the Dogwood Gallery and when one of his paintings on display there, Windwalker, was chosen as the cover art for the current issue of arts&expressions.  Now he is back in the news again for his upcomning appearance at the Fayette Art Center and Gallery.  Here is the notice which has just been sent out by the Fayette Art Center Director Kathaleen Brewer:
 
 
VERY SPECIAL EVENING WITH MARTIN PATE  THURSDAY NIGHT JAN. 17TH 6:30 pm  Observe and listen while Martin creates wonderful pastels of a live ballerina
Adults $10.00, Students $5.00 Members Free
                
 Martin Pate graduated from Ringling School of Art in Sarasota , Florida in 1981. His figurative works won acclaim in the Ringling and Sarasota area by such notables as Thornton Utz who declared a life drawing by Martin as the best work in the 1981 student show. His love of figurative works has led to many portrait commissions over the last 26 years by clients throughout the Southeast. Recent portraits of South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges children hung prominently in the Columbia , SC mansion during his term. Martin's ability to paint people has also led to more than 15 years of commissions by the National Park Service. Paintings of Native Americans, Civil War battles, The Battle of the Little Bighorn and many others have been used for educational purposes in books, posters and CD ROMs.   Local gallery affiliations include Panoply's Flint Gallery in downtown Newnan and The Dogwood Gallery near Tyrone , GA.   Martin lives with his wife in Newnan. He has a son majoring in computer animation at Ringling and a daughter majoring in architecture at Clemson University .

[Coweta Arts Tidbits] Coweta Publisher Goes National -- 25 Books Published in 2007

Coweta Based Etreasures Goes National
 
Twenty-Five Books Published in 2007
 
     This has been a great year for the literary arts in Coweta County. Eleven Cowetans had books published this year, a Coweta Authors Book Signing Extravaganza was held this year, and the Coweta based etreasures publishing company expanded its operations this year and began publishing books across the nation (and even in Canada). By mid-December the number of the books they published for 2007 reached a total of twenty-five. Almost all of this publishing work was done by etreasures founder and director Vickie Kennedy of Newnan. Recently Kennedy has hired several people to help her in screening and editing manuscripts. The secret of etreasures' success lies in its streamlined, heavily computerized operation which allows it to publish books quickly and to pay the authors higher royalties than most publishers.
 
     Coweta County will be receiving a lot of publicity in the Southeastern literary arts scene next year when the Southern Writers Conference (sponsored by etreasures) will be held in Newnan on April 5 and 6. Several hundred writers from Georgia and nearby states are expected to attend. Information on this Southern Writers Conference and on etreasures publishing company is available by visiting www.etreasurespublishing.com.
 
     In recent years publicity has been given to the accomplishments of Coweta's visual artists and performing artists but until recently scant attention has been paid to Coweta's achievement in the literary arts. The Coweta Authors Book Signing Extravaganza, the growth of etreasures, and the Southern Writers Conference are bringing these literary achievements to light.

Southern Writers Conference in Newnan on April 5 & 6
 
     The past two years have seen great accomplishments by Coweta County's writers: twelve books published in 2006 and eleven books published so far in 2007. And this year Coweta's writers also received some well-deserved recognition by the first ever Coweta Authors Book Signing Extravaganza, to which all Coweta authors of a published book were invited. And now the word is out that Coweta will be the site of the Southern Writers Conference, which will be held on April 5 and 6 (from 10 AM through 5 PM each day) at the Country Inn in Newnan. Several hundred authors from Georgia and nearby states are expected to attend.
 
     The Southern Writers Conference is also being organized by a Cowetan, Vickie Kennedy of Newnan, who has had four books published and who heads the Newnan-based workshop called the Writers Block. Kennedy is also the founder and director of the etreasures publishing company, which is sponsoring the conference. Information about the conference is found on the company's website www.etreasurespublishing.com. The conference registration form can also be downloaded from that website. The conference is also being co-sponsored by the West Central Technical College.
 
     Any writers who participate in any of the planned panel discussions will be able to attend the Southern Writers Conference free of charge. Conference registrants are not only entitled to attend any of the panels and talks, but also to conduct book signings there.

Portrait of Senoia Published By Photographer Gary Gruby
 
     Gary Gruby has made an invaluable contribution to Senoia by means of the exquisite photographs he took of people and places in Senoia.  These photographs adorn the walls of the Senoia Historical Society.  There now is another opportunity for many people to see them and that is the book which Gruby just published entitled Portrait of Senoia
 
     Gruby provides the following information about his book:
 
 
Portrait Of Senoia
unrehearsed perfection #1
By Gary Gruby, Photographer    
With these photographs, I am presenting a portrait of a small town. A community, at its heart, is made of people and in each portrait presented here, there is an individual with a life and story to tell.
The best portraits are given, not taken and this collection bears witness to the many gifts I have received as a photographer. Come meet the wonderful people that made and continue to make senoia so very special.
Therefore, it is appropriate that I dedicate this book to my town Senoia, and to the memory of its' people past, present, future, and to a small town or neighborhood stored away in all of our hearts. -gary gruby

Changes in Reception for Richard Scott Hill Art Exhibit in Carrollton:
 
Date Changed to January 4; Dinner Added
 
     Since the announcement of the Ten Year Retrospective of noted Southside artist Richard Scott Hill in Carrollton, there have been two changes -- the night has been changed to January 4, and a after-reception dinner has been added.  Also the Director of the Carrollton Cultural Arts Center, Penny Lewis, has written the following news release announcing this important arts event:
 
The Carrollton Cultural Arts Center presents "Ten-Year Retrospective" by Richard Scott Hill in the Roush Family Gallery, January 4 through 25 with an opening reception in the front lobby on Friday, January fourth from five until seven p.m.  
Richard has selected pieces for this exhibit to represent the last ten years of a lifetime of creativity that has consisted of over thirty thousand works. Gathering art from private collectors and friends, this exhibit will include sculpture, photography, and various mixed media, including some of his "useless tool" collection.  Richard will talk to guests about his work around six p.m. Taking the spotlight on the pavilion during the opening reception will be the "Rusted Rabbit," a 1927-T Hot Rod, encrusted with strange and memorable accents, including many rabbits and some serious rust, yet this object d'art  still runs and is considered road worthy.   Other pieces on exhibit will include "Spherical Timescape" a huge four foot diameter sphere made from the root of an oak tree.  "Totem Shield," a sculpture made of eucalyptus burl, walnut and leather with a Native American Indian flavor will also be displayed, on loan from a local private collector.
Richard Scott Hill is an internationally renowned artist who graduated from Atlanta 's Northside High School , attended West Georgia College and graduated with honors from the University of Georgia with a Master of Fine Arts degree. While attending the University of Georgia , his artwork was included in numerous prestigious exhibitions, including Drawings USA and the American Drawing Biennial.  As a senior at the University, Mr. Hill won the top award in painting during the Arts Festival of Atlanta.  His success continued when his work was selected by John Canady, art critic of the New York Times, to represent contemporary American art in a traveling exhibition sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute.  Hill was head of the Drawing Department at the Atlanta College of Art for 14 years, where he was tenured in 1981.  He was later invited to be the Artist-in-Residence in 1992 at West Georgia College
As a professional artist, Mr. Hill's artwork has been included in many national and internationally recognized exhibitions and in many corporate and museum collections, including the High Museum of Art, the Augusta Museum of Art, the Georgia Council for the Arts, the Atlanta Civic Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Olinda, Recife, Brazil, and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Russia.  His latest artistic achievement is the completion of a magnificent, spiraling tower that soars 80 feet in height for the Olympic Village in the Georgia Tech Plaza at the Georgia Institute of Technology. This sculpture is known as "The Kessler Campanile" and it remains a landmark, after the Olympic Games for the City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia .
Richard Scott Hill is active as a community leader and is chairman of the Banning Neighborhood Coalition, Inc.  Mr. Hill was the recipient of the Environmentalist of the Year Award in 1993, which was presented by the West Georgia Chapter of the Georgia Conservancy. In 1996 the State of Georgia, House of Representatives, passed a resolution commending Mr. Richard Scott Hill for his "outstanding artistic and environmental achievements."
The artist and author will be at the opening reception to welcome friends and guests.  Several works are for sale, with a few in private collections on loan for the exhibit.  For more information on the Richard Scott Hill visit: http://www.hillsculpt.com.
The Galleria of the Cultural Arts Center will display the 2008 University of West Georgia Student Art Exhibit , a collection of student works under the guidance and supervision of Clint Samples.  This annual exhibit shows what the students at University are doing, illustrating their imagination and development as young artists.  These works are often for sale, supporting and aiding the financial requirements of the students.  For more information on this and other upcoming events at the Carrollton Cultural Arts Center call 770-838-1083.

Venue Will be the Luttrells Family Restaurant on Main St.
 
     While the Grantville Railroad Freight Depot is undergoing renovation, the Grantville  Southern Country Gospel Sings are being held at other venues.  The Sing for December will be held at a type of venue never used before -- a restaurant.  Also unusual will be the fact that it has not even opened yet!  It will probably be opening in January.  This is the Luttrell's Family Restaurant on Main Street in Grantville adjacent to Sandy's Ice Cream Shop.  This sing will be held on Saturday, December 22 beginning at 7 PM.  The sings normally last about three hours.  There will be slight difference in the Sing because it will also include the audience singing Christmas carols. 
 
     But, like usual, the main thing will be the performance of the musicians. These will include the following:
 
Christianaires of LaGrance
Carter Trio of LaGrange
One Accord of Columbus  
(and several others not named)
 
 
For information on the Gospel Sings one can contact Roy Smith by phone at

"Chimney Sweep" Act  By Entertainer Todd Key At Newnan Library
 
     One of our nation's finest entertainers, Todd Key, lives right here on the Southside -- in the City of Grantville in Coweta County, to be precise.  He has performed various imaginative comedy and juggling acts in many places and for many audiences, including our armed forces under the auspices of the USO.  Last year in Grantville the audience at Calico Christmas greatly enjoyed his latest act -- a comedy involving a sweep who cleans out chimneys prior to Christmas so Santa will not get his suit dirty.
 
     Anyone wishing to see Key's performance of this Christmas Chimney Sweep Act can come to the Newnan-Coweta Public Library on Thursday December 13 at 7:00 PM.  This "Family Night" entertainment is suitable for the entire family.  Small children as well as adults love Key's style, and often children are even asked to come on the stage and be part of the act.  The act is a comedy involving juggling and stiltwalking, which are two of Key's favorite skills. 
 
     The Newnan-Coweta Public Library is located on Hospital Road in Newnan.  Information is available on its website www.newnan-coweta.org.  .

Newnan City Hall Announces Artist of Month
 
     The following announcement has just been released by Gina Lau Snider, the Public Information Officer of the City of Newnan concerning the new "Artist of the Month" whose paintings are currently being displayed at City Hall.
 
 
RICHARD DOSS NAMED CITY HALL'S 'ARTIST OF THE MONTH' FOR DECEMBER
  
RICHARD DOSS BIO
Call it fate or simply coincidence, but when   Clayton   State University 's art professor, Tommy Daughtry filled in for the school's traveling art history professor, the life of student Richard Doss was forever changed.  When Daughtry viewed Richard's assigned self-portrait, he encouraged the talented student to pursue a major in art. A tremendous influence, the  professor riddled his first year art students with drawing exercises, emphasizing its importance in the future of their art. When Richard became the events photographer for the school, he again found a mentor 
in Daughtry, who was also exploring photography as an art form. Later transferring to   Georgia   State , Richard achieved his Bachelor of Visual 
Arts degree with a major in photography and minors in art history, drawing and painting, printmaking and jewelry making. Richard later studied for several years at the Atlanta College of Art. Meeting Nancy Honea at the ACA in 1991 sparked his interest in the  art of portraiture. 
She guided, and continues to as a friend and mentor, Richard for several  years of study. A constant student, Richard has gone on to study with many regional and nationally known figures.
  
Richard finds great fascination with capturing the nobility and infinitely expressive nature of God's ultimate earthly creation, man. Richard has several themes that he continues to visit. One is the rendering of historical carousel horses, aircraft paintings of World Wars I and II, and other subjects with an old-time or historical significance. As well as subjects  that rekindle the memories of 
childhood innocence. Recently one of Richard's carousel horse paintings, 'Steed to Dreamland', won Best of Show at a Newnan-Coweta Art Association exhibition. Richard also occasionally paints subjects to which he gleefully assigns thought provoking titles to guide the viewer into the often secret realms of the image.
  
Richard is most at home using drawing media such as pastels, charcoal, and graphite, but is equally adept to painting. He explains, in picturesque speech, "Picking up a piece of charcoal or pastel is so immediate and direct. Maybe  even a bit primal, much like the first cave dweller who picked up a piece of burnt wood and scrawled on the cave walls his expression of the world around him."
  
The "biggest thrill" of Richard's art career came in 1994, when his pastel painting, 'Transformation', was exhibited at the Woodruff Arts 
Center in Atlanta in a show entitled, Interpretations of Angels, that was held in conjunction with a two-part play called "Angels in   America ." 
Stained glass design has been another successful outlet for Richard's creativity. The talented artist did some of the glass work for the Fox Theatre's restoration. Many of his designs grace homes and businesses in the Metro Atlanta area.
  
Richard has been challenged in recent years by health problems, but still he endeavors to be the best artist he can be. As workshops have become difficult for him, Richard has turned to concentrated study from books and demonstrations.
  
Richard has been in many shows, both group and one man, and also has won many awards over the years. He recently was featured in FOLIO, a magazine that caters to portrait artists and brokers nationwide.
  
In addition to this exhibit you can see more of Richard's work as well as other NCAA members by visiting the NCAA website and accessing the Artists Galleries page.
  
Richard is a member of the Newnan-Coweta Art Association. NCAA meets the third Thursday each month (from September through May) at the   Harriet   Alexander Art   Center on   Hospital Road at 7:00 p.m. Visitors and new members are welcome. An art demonstration is presented each month. Come and join the fun. NCAA website: www.newcaa.com
