These goals are supported through a wide range of activities that are overseen by a Board of Directors, an Advisory Board and a Curatorial Panel drawn from the Atlanta photographic community.

SPEAKING OF PHOTOGRAPHY:
"A Conversation between Chip Simone and Louis Corrigan"
Wednesday, July 20th, 7:30PM
Louis Corrigan is among the most prominent supporters of the visual arts in Atlanta, and was the most recent winner of the Nexus Award, presented by the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. Corrigan is the founder and president of the arts organization, Flux Projects. "Flux Projects is the only organization presenting a year-round public art program throughout Atlanta. Our goal is to bring innovative, fun, and thought-provoking projects to the places where Atlantans spend their daily lives: where they work, travel, and play. We are funding artists to do more ambitious projects and providing them greater exposure to the Atlanta community. " --fluxprojects.org
Corrigan is also the founder of the private, non-profit operating platform, Possible Futures. "The foundation provides grants to individual artists and writers, other non-profit arts organizations, and other associations or for-profit entities that write about, present or otherwise support a variety of artistic endeavors in the Atlanta area. " --possiblefuturesatl.org
In addition to his work with Flux Projects and Possible Futures, Corrigan is also a board member of Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialog. "Artadia's mission is to encourage innovative artistic practice and meaningful dialogue across the United States by providing artists in specific communities with unrestricted awards and a national network of support." --artadia.org
Come meet Louis Corrigan next Wednesday to learn more about his
arts organizations and how they can benefit you as an artist.
You can view Chip Simone's exhibit, "The Resonant Image: Photographs by Chip Simone" at the High Museum through November 6, 2011. Richard Ediger attended the June 18th opening and offers an insightful review of the exhibit, as well as Simone's related publication, "Chroma," in his article "Walls and Pages."

Show Dates: June 24 - August 26, 2011
List of Participating Photographers and More Information HERE
Excerpt from Jerry Cullum's juror statement...."As it is, I think I have chosen images of nature that seem to embody ancient anxieties or hopes or wishes (a.k.a. "dreams"); images of history transmuted into inner visions and wishes of what might have been (a.k.a. "dreams"); straightforward images of inner desires for outer objects (I shall henceforward stop with the a.k.a.'ing-you get the picture); images that mirror the dreams of popular culture in an almost uncannily similar emotional register; images of the uncanny that suggest the elusive link between the felt strangeness of certain moments of reality and the emotional tone of certain moments of our dream lives; and the list
goes on." Read more from the juror statement here...
