The Summer heat rolls on, but you can enjoy a cool evening reception and enjoy beautiful art at the same time. The Veranda Historic B and B Inn opens it doors on Tuesday, July 26th from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. for a reception honoring local artists who are members of Fine Arts and Crafts Entrepreneurs (FAACE).

She works predominantly in oils and currently has two art series on display, “Documentations of Clarity” and “Painting Senoia,” a charming, romantic view of the historic town. She is also co-owner of The Art Escape in Senoia, offering classes in painting.
Debbie Frost, owner of Wynsong Art and Design, uses oil paints to create beautiful, realistic portraits of dogs, horses and of wildlife in their natural settings. Frost’s love for her subjects shines through in her work, and her paintings have been honored in national and international art shows.
Victor Dallas is a professional artist who specializes in both painting and sculpture. His carved wooden sculptures function as furniture as well as art, and his expressive paintings have been featured in many local and regional art shows.
The reception at The Veranda is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be served. The gallery also contains a shop, Verbena, displaying the work of many FAACE members. At the FAACE receptions, voluntary donations are accepted for Our Father’s House, an after-school mentoring program for at-risk youth.

Gray's Reef Fantastic Fishes Award
For the seventh year, Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary sponsored a separate category in the festival. The Gray's Reef Fantastic Fishes Award seeks to encourage student artists to find inspiration in the marine environment. With an emphasis on whimsy and biologically accuracy, Gray's Reef promotes art as another way to engage the public on marine issues through non-traditional educational means.
The 2011 award was won by Adela Kang, an illustration major from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Judges thought her image of a little girl listening to the ocean in a shell captures the spirit of love and stewardship for the ocean.
The image will be used by Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary to represent the 2011 Ocean Film Festival.

Life in the Park- World Premiere in Atlanta
June 3– June 26, 2011
Wednesday‐Saturday at 8 p.m. and Saturday‐Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
$42-$56
Making its world premiere in Atlanta this June, Life in the Park is a new work of genius in the genre of musical plays. It’s the timely story of Humphrey and Constance (a homeless man and woman) and the people they encounter in their lives as they endure another winter in a city park.
Audiences will experience an emotion‐filled journey from laughter to heartfelt moments, the experience of life in the park. Opening June 3 at the 14th Street Playhouse, Life in the Park runs through June 26 with a possible extension until July17.
Written by Gary W. Heath and directed by Atlanta native Allen Worthy, Life in the Park offers audiences an up‐close personal look into homelessness not seen in the typical representation of this all‐too‐possible condition. Heath has taken the situation of the two main characters and mixed it with music to expose the inner emotions of Humphrey, Constance and their acquaintances.
Taking place during one day, this story is of every man in any unexpected or unavoidable condition that could affect any individual in his or her lifetime. The show is highly theatrical even as it entertains with remarkable musical numbers.
Life in the Park was showcased to the public in a professional staged reading under the Actors Equity Backers Audition Code at the famed Stella Adler Theatre in Hollywood, California with extremely positive response from the audience. Director Worthy is thrilled to debut the production in front of an Atlanta audience. He graduated from North Atlanta High School Center for the Arts before moving to New York City to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and pursue a career in theatre. Heath and Worthy previously partnered on Ginger and ME and Speakeasy.
Following its Atlanta run, Life in the Park will head to San Diego in August.
