DESCRIPTION:
Athens Clarke County Leisure Services Arts Division in pleased to announce Arts Summit 2022 to take place at the Morton Theatre in downtown Athens GA.
A special keynote speaker, Charmaine MInniefield, who will give a presentation Friday, August 5 at 6:30 pm, kicks off this event. Doors open at 6:00 pm. This is a free event open to the public NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
Charmaine Minniefield’s creative practice is community-based as her research and resulting bodies of work often draw from public archives as she excavates the stories of African American women-led resistance, spirituality and power. Minniefield recently served as the Stuart A. Rose Library artist-in –residence at Emory University and through a collaboration with Flux Projects presented her work Remembrance as Resistance: Preserving Black Narratives in Atlanta’s historically segregated cemetery to honor the over 800 unmarked graves discovered in the African American Burial Grounds. She was recently awarded a National Endowment of the Arts Our Town Grant to present her Praise House Project in three locations in the metro Atlanta area to celebrate the African American history of those communities.
