Coweta Arts Tidbits The Successor To Newnan-Coweta Arts Council News Releases Composed By: Forrest W. Schultz 770-583-3258 March 10, 2009 Next Themed NCAA Exhibit Opening Reception on March 26 at Espresso Lane
The Newnan-Coweta Art Association, despite its size, its longevity, and its many high quality art works does not have its own art gallery -- well, not what one normally thinks of as an art gallery, anyway. Its art gallery is the spacious wall surface inside the Espresso Lane Coffee Shop at 22 West Court Square in downtown Newnan. This is a great way to get the art out there where the people are, who can come in to see the art when they want without having to worry about art gallery hours, etc. And they can sit there and chat and sip their coffee while doing so.
From the outset of this great idea, the paintings there have been periodically changed out in accord with a schedule of themed exhibits. Until recently the theme changed each month. Now each exhibit lasts a bit longer, approximately 6 or 7 weeks. Each exhibit is kicked off with an opening reception where one can come and meet the artists whose works will be adorning the walls for the upcoming time frame.
The next exhibit has a somewhat puzzling theme title: "Seeing Snow" Challenge: "Dry Medium". Huhh?? Well, I guess the artists know what it means! To find out, come to the opening reception, which will be held at Espresso Lane on Thursday March 26 from 7:00 PM until 8:30 PM. Info on NCAA is available at www.newcaa.com. By clicking on "Espresso Lane" there one can get info on the upcoming exhibits and the forms needed to be filled out by the artists. The exhibit co-ordinator can be emailed at elgallery@newcaa.com. Information on Espresso Lane itself is available at http://expressolanenewnan.com or by calling 770-683-7290. |

| Coweta Arts Tidbits The Successor To Newnan-Coweta Arts Council News Releases Composed By: Forrest W. Schultz 770-583-3258 March 10, 2009 Main Street Newnan Spring Art Walk Set For March 27
One of the most popular and enjoyable (as well as educational) events presented by Main Street Newnan is is Spring Art Walk in which one can stroll around downtown Newnan to see art works and artists at the various participating businesses.

[Coweta Arts Tidbits] Wadsworth Concert Set For March 28
| Coweta Arts Tidbits The Successor To Newnan-Coweta Arts Council News Releases Composed By: Forrest W. Schultz 770-583-3258 March 10, 2009 Wadsworth Concert Set For March 28
For a long time now in Coweta County the most highly anticipated performing arts event of the year has been the "Wadsworth Concert" arranged by Newnan-native and world-renowned classical musician (and Spoleto administrator) Charles Wadsworth, who grew up right next door to the Auditorium which now bears his name in recognition for the great service he has performed through these concerts in promoting the restoration of the building to its original art deco grandeur and in outfitting it with the finest technology. "The "Wadsworth" is now regarded as one of the premier venues for the performing arts in the area, as was noted last year when it was selected by The Twilight Theatre for the production of Frank Wildhorn's The Civil War and by VOICES for the performance of its Christmas Mist Concert.
This year's Concert will be especially meaningful for it will also be the celebration of Wadsworth's 80th birthday. As in the previous concerts the musicians joining Wadsworth on stage are among the finest in the world. This year there will be five of them: soprano Courtney Budd, violinist Chee-Yun, flutist Angela Jones-Reus, cellist Edward Aron, and pianist Jeewon Park. And The Wadsworth Concerts are not only noted for their musical excellence but also for the humorous remarks (and sometimes even antics) which Wadsworth loves to make when he is back home in Newnan. It is anybody's guess just what he will do about his becoming an octogenarian!
Tickets can either be purchased at the door or at Scott's Bookstore in downtown Newnan, at Morgan Jewelry in Ashley Park and at the Bank of Coweta in Thomas Crossroads. General seating tickets are $20, and tickets for students and senior citizens are $15. Because of the special nature of this year's concert it would be advisable to purchase tickets in advance. |

[Coweta Arts Tidbits] Southside Arts Agenda Now Publishes Review of Books By Local Authors
| Coweta Arts Tidbits The Successor To Newnan-Coweta Arts Council News Releases Composed By: Forrest W. Schultz 770-583-3258 March 9, 2009 Southside Arts Agenda Now Publishes Reviews of Books by Local Authors
The Southside Arts Agenda is a weekly online news service covering the arts in the Southside counties which has now acquired a readership higher than any of the print media. As such it has played an important role in the burgeoning Southside scene, especially with respect to the visual arts and the performing arts. Recently the Editor decided that insufficient attention was being paid to the literary arts. He therefore introduced a new policy of publishing in each weekly issue a review of a recently published book by a Southside author. And, contrary to what most people probably think, for the past few years there has been a boom in the publication of new books by Southside authors.
The first of these reviews appeared in the February 9 issue about one of the most interesting books I have ever read -- The Melon Boys (by Mike Ottensmeyer of Palmetto, using the pen name Michael George) concerning how they used to pick and pack watermelons in the South in days of yore. The review published in the February 16 issue was about a book (her first) written by 91 year old Mary Busser of Newnan, who is almost blind but can still recite poetry with super-passion! The February 23 issue contains a review of a book (Precious) by Georgia's newest author, Sandra Novack, who lives in Whitesburg. The book reviewed last week (WOOF) was written by Mary Cunningham of the Carrollton Creative Writers Club. AND, the book reviewed in today's issue -- Eyes Of The Calusa -- is an award winner written by a former Coweta County Teacher of the Year, Holly Moulder from Sharpsburg.
The Editor, Andre DeLorenzo, is very pleased with these reviews, which have become one of the most popular sections in his publication! These are bona fide reviews, not just jacket blurbs, and are well written and interesting. To qualify for inclusion, the book must have been written in either 2007 or 2008 or 2009, and it must be by a Southside author. The books and authors are being located by means of either a writers group or library in each of the Southside counties.
If anyone has been missed, he should contact me, Forrest Schultz, at 770-583-3258 or by email at schultz_forrest@yahoo.com.
To see the reviews and/or to thank the Editor one can go to www.southsideartsagenda.com.
