On Display at Augusta, Georgia’s Morris Museum of Art Masters Week
Organized by the Morris Museum of Art, Fore! Images in Golf Art opens on Saturday, February 4, 2012. The exhibition includes more than twenty-five works of art—photographs, paintings, and drawings by such well-known artists as LeRoy Neiman, Will Barnet, Tim Clark, Ray Ellis, Lucy McTier, Dan Rizzie, Linda Hartough, Frank Christian, and Philip Morsberger, among others. It remains on view through April 15, 2012.
“Through a wide variety of traditional mediums and through subjects as wide-ranging as Dan Rizzie’s depiction of actor Bill Murray in character in Caddyshack to LeRoy Neiman’s dramatic oil portrait of Tiger Woods, from photographs of legendary players to a painting of the storied clubhouse at Augusta National Golf Club, the exhibition explores and celebrates the history of golf, its inherent beauty, and its place in our culture. This is especially true here in Augusta, Georgia, home of the Masters Tournament and Mecca to serious fans of the sport,” said Kevin Grogan, director of the Morris Museum of Art.

Historic preservation
On Thursday, Jan. 12, 5:30 p.m., Don Jones will present “Heritage Without Borders: International preservation and heritage development in the 21st century.” Since the Venice Charter and the creation of the International Council on Monuments and Sites, historic preservation has spurred economic development, sustainable tourism, community rebuilding and promoted cultural identity, but has the preservation community encouraged the best preservation practices? This presentation will examine how the international preservation community can engage in international development efforts across the world.
Donald G. Jones, Ph.D., was appointed director of US/ICOMOS in 2011. He joined US/ICOMOS in August 2003 as director of programs.

Roger Sherman is principal of Roger Sherman Architecture and Urban Design in Los Angeles. He is co-director of cityLAB, an urban think tank at UCLA, and has authored several books including "L.A.

Atlanta Dogwood Festival Announces Dates for 2012 – April 20 through 22
After a stellar diamond anniversary earlier this year, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival will take no time to rest on its laurels as organizers are already hard at work planning the 2012 spring event. Next April will bring back more fine art, live music, international performances, casual and gourmet food, kids activities, high school artists, competing dogs and … everyone’s new favorite, the Seattle Ferris Wheel.
There is no better way to celebrate spring and the blooming of the city’s favorite trees than at the 2012 Atlanta Dogwood Festival.
AT A GLANCE The 76th Annual Atlanta Dogwood Festival takes place in Atlanta’s beautiful Piedmont Park on April 20, 21 and 22, 2012. Festival attendance is free, although a few of the areas are ticketed. www.dogwood.org
ARTS The 2012 Atlanta Dogwood Festival Artist Market welcomes fine artists from throughout the country and includes a special section featuring Georgia artists. Selected from nearly a thousand entries, the juried Artist Market presents a variety of media, from oil painting to jewelry to sculpture and fiber. It’s an entire weekend worth of art.
Each year, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival is thrilled to sponsor the Atlanta High School Art Exhibition (AHSAE), which last year brought in almost 600 entries from talented young artists throughout Atlanta and Georgia. Providing winners with $40,000 in scholarships and supplies, the AHSAE is community-oriented feature of the festival that fills a growing gap in creative opportunities for youth. Held in the Community Center in Piedmont Park during the festival, the AHSAE highlights the variety and breadth of young Atlanta artistic talent and has received national recognition for its impact on young artists.
HOTELS Atlanta visitors and residents looking for a great spring “staycation” can get special Atlanta Dogwood Festival rates at these nearby Midtown hotels:
Hotel Midtown – $89 per night
Renaissance Hotel - $129 per night
Courtyard Marriott - $109 per night

This area also includes a culturally decorated golf cart competition, and it kicks off on Friday night with La Fête, a ticketed international food and wine tasting.
SPECTATORS Each year, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival offers entertainment throughout the weekend. As always, two live music stages feature performers from a variety of musical genres. Festival attendees can also enjoy the popular live disc dog competition and street performances.

The Pavilion pairs delicacies from top local restaurants with wines in a comfortable, exclusive setting. Tickets to Friends of Dogwood can be purchased in advance at www.dogwood.org.
BEING GREEN The Atlanta Dogwood Festival works in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council – Atlanta Chapter to include a Green Festival Initiative that diverts tons of waste from landfills, recycles cooking oil, runs stages on bio-diesel generators and allows vendors to use only compostable flatware, cups and serving plates. This initiative has been so successful, it has won national recognition and created a model other festivals are working to follow.
KIDS Designed just for the younger festival visitors, the Kid’s Village is always a festival favorite for families. This interactive zone comes complete with hands-on art projects, special kid-friendly displays and hours of entertainment for children. With anything from rock climbing to the popular spider jump, parents will find this area the ideal place for their children to let out some energy and have some fun.

These beautiful parks have lovely trees and paths and great visibility from one of Atlanta's truly historic avenues. This is a unique and wonderful opportunity for locals and visitors to appreciate the vision and legacy of one of America’s most celebrated landscape architects, Fredrick Olmsted, Sr., at an ideal location for one of the most enjoyable art shows of the year!
