Martin Pate's "Windwalker": Cover Art of arts & expressions

     The works of Coweta artist Martin Pate have graced many different venues and have received various forms of recognition. His most recent honor was the selection of his "Windwalker" painting as the cover art for the Winter Season 2007 - 2008 issue of the Southern Arc magazine arts & expressions. The legend under Pate's painting indicates that it is now being displayed at the recently established Dogwood Gallery in Tyrone.

 

     This issue of a & e also includes an article about the Dogwood Gallery on pages 6 through 8, which shows another painting by Pate, "Portrait of Salem". This same article also shows paintings of two other Coweta artists: "Three Hills In Spring 2007" by David Boyd, Jr. and "Sunflower" by Renae Barton, who recently established the Renae Barton Gallery inside the Shops of Beard and Co. at 20 Jefferson Street in Newnan. And on the list of artists whose works are displayed in the Dogwood Gallery we see the name of Richard Scott Hill, who recently retired (after many years of faithful service) as the Chairman of the Art Department at the East Coweta High School and as the Head of the Georgia High Photography organization, which encouraged a number of Coweta students to achieve excellence in the photographic arts.

 

     Other Coweta arts scene events are covered in this issue. On page 20 are found some brief notes about the latest plays scheduled at the Legacy Theatre, which is owned and directed by Mark and Bethany Smith of Newnan. On page 13 are the November and December offerings of the Centre for Performing and Visual Arts of Coweta County, which include two photography exhibits, a Masterworks Choral Concert, and a performance of "The Nutcracker". It has become a tradition for this famous holiday classic of Tchaikovsky's to be performed there by the Georgia Youth Ballet. A more detailed description of this performance and of the Georgia Youth Ballet is found on page 22.

 

     Information on arts & expressions magazine is accessible on its newly redesigned website www.galleriaconnection.com. Marilyn Haas deserves high praise for the excellent quality of her magazine and the coverage it has given to the burgeoning Southside arts scene. Free copies of the magazine are available at local public libraries.

 

     Information on the art of Martin Pate is available on his website www.pateart.com.

Masterworks Chorale and the Art of David Boyd in Newnan-Coweta Magazine

 

     The Newnan-Coweta Magazine has been doing a commendable job of including informative and interesting articles on the arts among its bi-monthly portraits of the county.  The current issue, November-December 2007, provides a good example. 

 

     An article entitled "Greetings!" discusses the artwork of David Boyd with an especial emphasis on his Redneck greeting cards which have made him known all over the world.  The text is written by Alex McRae, and Bob Fraley provides a good photograph of Boyd as well as excellent pictures of three of these humorous cards.  You will find this on pages 11 through 15.

 

     Pages 62 through 67 are devoted to Coweta's premier chorus -- The Masterworks Chorale, which is about to begin its new season.  Pages 62 and 63 provide a group photograph of the Chorale dressed up and ready to sing.  The remaining pages include shots taken during rehearsals, including one showing the Director Kathy Bizarth and Pianist David Kinrade.  The author of the article is Elizabeth Richardson and the photographs are by Bob Fraley and Alicia Freese Photography.

[Coweta Arts Tidbits] Legacy Theatre Celbrates First Anniversay

Legacy Theatre Celebrates First Anniversay
 
     Mark and Bethany Smith have beeen very busy people since they moved to Newnan and established the Legacy Theatre in Tyrone, which has been a significant feature of the renaissance of the Southside arts scene.  The current issue of the Southside Arts Agenda, which is an online news service which has done a commendable job of documenting this renaissance, has provided the following information concerning this Anniversay:
 
 
 
 

 

A few days ago, the cast of It's A Wonderful Life:  A Live Radio Play was discussing the major themes that they would want to relay to the audience each night from the stage.  Not surprisingly, the themes they kept coming back to were the importance of friendship, family, and self-sacrifice.  As Mark Smith, Executive Director, left the theatre that night, he began to think back on the past year and the short history of The Legacy Theatre.  He realized that these fundamental things are precisely what have seen the Legacy through their first season.  

 

There are too many exciting and incredible memories to put into one news article, but here are a few that Bethany and Mark Smith feel encapsulate The Legacy Theatre's premiere season. MORE

 

Click MORE above for a photo gallery of highlights from The Legacy Theatre's first year!

                                                                                                                                                                      ;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Stephen Ball from Doris Russell School of Performing Arts never took "no" for an answer and worked tirelessly through sickness as he helped orchestrate all the contractors, town council members, banks, and sponsors who would make the theatre a reality.

The City of Tyrone welcomed Bethany and Mark with open arms and believed in the importance of live theatre. Bert  Clark, Chip Smith and the architect, Jim Finney, said "A live, professional theatre in Tyrone? Sure, why not! Let's make it a 'little Fox'. Ted Davis and dozens of workers who sweated through a hot, dry summer and chattered through a surprisingly cold October and November to open the theatre on time. Their friend, Dustin Lewis, who traveled the world as a performer, decided to relocate to Tyrone, Georgia and gave his heart and soul to the theatre.

Bethany and Mark's family and friends, who ate Thanksgiving Dinner 2006 with them in the lobby of the theatre, and who worked all the way through opening night to make sure the theatre was clean, beautiful, and ready for Legacy's patrons. Dozens of volunteers, many of them dear friends, who took a whole weekend to help construct a set in an unfinished theatre. Founding Members filled every seat on opening night on November 24th and each and every audience member who has laughed, cried, and even danced on stage since then.

The amazing cast of A Christmas Survival Guide, truly special friends or the Smith's, who put up a show without knowing whether they would have a space in which to even perform it. There were dozens of volunteer ushers in black and white who swept the lobby, vacuum the theatre, and lovingly scrub the bathrooms. They saw the first sold out audience while Dustin, Mike, Cleve and David—The Legacy "Plaids"—gave one of the best ensemble performances seen at a theatre on the South side of Atlanta.

Hundreds of kids participated in Broadway Workshop performing scenes all in green from The Wizard of Oz, The Wiz, and Wicked for full houses.

Over 500 kids walked through the doors to audition for Disney's High School Musical and Todd Key on stilts, entertained them.
Bethany was able to perform one of her dream roles in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Song and Dance for a live audience. Twenty-one sold out shows for Disney's High School Musical and as a cast of 65, ages 7 and up, danced, sang and light up the stage for over 4,000 audience members.

Bus after bus drove up to the front doors for the hilarious Miss Nelson Is Missing!

ReGen church opened the doors for their first Sunday morning worship.


As The Legacy Theatre approaches its one-year anniversary, Bethany and Mark are excited and look forward to what is in store for The Legacy and for the community. They are committed to continue to bringing south Atlanta great entertainment as well as educate children and influence a new generation of theatre-goers. The Legacy Family would like to thank everyone for sticking by them and realizing that a
community truly needs the arts.

GREATER TUNA

Perfect timing, practically impossible costume changes and a script that portrays just about every eccentric Southerner you've ever met made this a night of live theater better than anything on the TV.

This was acting at its best! Mark and Dave created the residents of Tuna, Texas, as individuals with
personalities, manner of speech, tone of voice, accent and temperament that is unique to each. Not easy to do by any means!

We'd love to see Mark and Dave team up again in "The Odd Couple!"

There were two more stars in this show - never seen on stage until the final curtain. Zack Speir and Levi Throckmorton. They were the 'dressers' who kept the costume changes straight. I don't know how they managed it, but they did an outstanding job considering the number of changes and the speed in which most had to be made.

The production was nothing less than we have come to expect from the "Best Place to See a Play."  Artistic set design by David Utley; flawless sound from Cashion Bennett and Dustin Lewis; really right-on costumes by Jenny Robinson; and lighting design by Chris Shellnut.
