MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Bonnie Householder

Our 50th Anniversary Year is going really well, and hope you had an opportunity to see one of our most

fun events of the year – the Retrospective Art Exhibit of our first 50 years has so many wonderful items many

from folks who are no longer with us, but are represented by their artwork provided by those who currently

own the works. It will remain up until May 31. If you have pieces in the exhibit and are not available to pick

them up or do not have a friend who can pick yours up for you, please let either Mary Stock or me know as

soon as possible. With more than 90 pieces in the exhibit, we need to get them all out in a timely manner that

evening so we can set up the June exhibit the next morning.

As you have no doubt heard, JIAA is planning to have a Summer Art Camp for Kids – information is on

our website, and in the current edition of the Golden Islander – the Jekyll Island newspaper. The Brunswick

News did a piece on it a couple weeks ago, and we hope to have enough elementary students who want to

learn some new art techniques.

The photo on the following page is of an exhibit of Athos Menaboni art work in the Georgia Governor’s

mansion currently. If you look closely, you’ll see the two items with red covers – if they look familiar, they

should…the one on the bottom shelf is our program from our February program – A Valentine from Athos

Menaboni and the one on the top shelf is our Gallery Guide from the March Menaboni exhibit. The Gover-

nor’s wife, Mrs. Deal, is an Athos Menaboni admirer. The exhibit also includes first and revised editions of

Menaboni’s Birds, a menu cover (1944) from Rich’s Department Store featuring Cotton Blossoms and Butter-

flies,. Visitors are welcome each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The exhibit

is located in the foyer on the State Floor. If your schedule allows you to spend time in Atlanta this month, be

sure to visit this exhibit in the Governor’s Mansion.

This will be the last Newsletter until the fall, but make no mistake – we will be busy all summer, planning

classes, as well as our remaining two months of programs for our 50th Anniversary in September and October, Continued on page 2…

plus the Merry Artists Show and Sale, which starts the day after Thanksgiving and runs through December. If

you have not already started working on the items you will include for sale, this is a great opportunity to show-

case your arts!

And while we’re not doing anything else, your Board is revisiting how we publicize our events and market

our activities. If you have a PR background and are interested in helping, please let us know. So stay tuned,

and have a great summer!

Athos Menaboni Exhibit in the Georgia Governor’s Mansion

A Note from D. Russell Clayton, Curator of our March 2017 Menaboni exhibit Dear Menaboni Friend, I am excited to let you know the Governor’s Mansion has a new exhibit honoring Athos Menaboni. First Lady Sandra Deal is an admirer of Athos and his work, and she has created a nice tribute to one of Georgia’s most prominent artists. Thank you, Mrs. Deal The exhibit includes first and revised editions of Menaboni’s Birds, a menu cover (1944) from Rich’s Depart-ment Store featuring Cotton Blossoms and Butterflies, and a program and gallery guide from the most recent exhibition at Jekyll Island.

The JIAA Festival Committee of 2018 invites you to summon your creative spirit to produce a graphic

design for marketing your 2018 Arts Festival.

Selection criteria checklist:

● Bold graphic shapes

● Bright colors

● Six color maximum

The design must be suitable for reproduction on posters, T-shirts and other promotional items to be sold dur-

ing the festival.

Only one entry is allowed per artist. All entries must be the original work of the submitting artist.

The words “JIAA ART FESTIVAL 2018” will be added after design selection is made.

and advertise the Festival, but is not poster ready, may be submitted as photograph.

Entry process: Deadline for submitting – September 30, 2017

Email a photo of the entry to: [email protected]
