www.atownday.com –The largest outdoor community outreach awareness festival and concert in the city of Atlanta deemed by State Representative Kathy Ashe and given its‘ own House Resolution (1658) has partnered with The Spirit of Sweet Auburn. ”We made the move to the Historic Sweet Auburn District in an attempt to bring awareness directly to the community. We felt this would help us bring in additional donations to all of the charities involved. We do this event to convey awareness to the community; this move allows us to drop the prices on everything from tickets to vendor booths. We aim to make the entire city AWARE. We do not want anyone to miss out on the AWARENESS messages because the ticket prices are too high, eventually A-TOWN DAY will be a free event for the city of Atlanta,“ excitedly states the founder of A-Town Day, Brian Glasper.
Children 6 and under are free and general admission is only $5. Organizations taking part include: Diabetes Association Of Atlanta, Atlanta Fire Department, The Red Cross, Fulton County Voter Registration, Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau, Fulton & DeKalb County Health Departments, Fulton County Human Resources with McDonald’s, Wal-Mart and Bally’s Total Fitness as sponsors of the event. Entertainment will include performances from artists in every type of music genre – rock, gospel, R&B, spoken word to Hip-Hop who will share health care and environmental statistics before each performance.

Of Shine, Bling, and Bixels: Toward a Post-Soul Art History | March 13, 2010, 2 p.m. | High Museum of Art Atlanta
March 1, 2010
Krista Thompson, Driskell Prize Winner and Associate Professor of Art History at Northwestern University
In 2003, artist Satch Hoyt, created an art piece of an afro-pick, featuring the iconic clenched black power fist, inlaid with diamonds. The work, From Mau Mau to Bling Bling, speaks to changes in the politics and aesthetics of blackness from the Black Power movements in the 1970s to the present-day emphasis among black youth on bling, on jewelry, on shiny material things.
Through an investigation of the work of leading contemporary artists and black popular photographic practices, Krista Thompson will present what might be described as a post-soul art history, exploring the new meanings of representation and black politics in contemporary society.
This program is free and seating is limited. Seat reservations are required.
