Augusta's resource for artists and arts lovers!
This week's featured member artists are Art and Je This week's featured member artists are Art and Jerrie Abdon! From Pax Bobrow: I had the pleasure of getting to know Arts Council member artist couple, Art and Jerrie Abdon, a little better this week. “Art the Artist” Abdon seems to be everywhere in Augusta, in person and online, and particularly online now that we live in the international world of Pandemicland. I see him live painting at nearly every event, and look forward to seeing what he has each year at Star Wars Reads Day. And since the start of social distancing and isolation from COVID-19 began, Art has been sharing his tips and tricks of the trade in live Facebook streaming events at https://www.facebook.com/art.the.artist.studios/.

A new Artist Emergency Relief Fund was initiated b A new Artist Emergency Relief Fund was initiated by representatives of a special consortium of local arts non-profits, who met to discuss the impact of Covid-19 and its negative effect upon local Gig-Artists, contracted, or self-employed artists of all disciplines including visual, musical, literary, performance, etc. The grants will allow artists to recover income lost due to the cancellation of a specified scheduled gig or business opportunity (commission, performance, contract) due to mandated Coronavirus/COVID-19 precautionary measures. Artists are encouraged to apply for up to $500 compensation for work that was scheduled and lost, due to Covid-19 shutdowns. The Augusta Arts Consortium was able to disburse $12,650.00 to local artists in the first week. The consortium will continue to receive applications and grant funds as funds allow.

Resiliency Grant Guidelines are Available Guideli Resiliency Grant Guidelines are Available Guidelines are now available for The Resiliency Grant. This grant is funded by Cares Act money appropriated to the National Endowment for the Arts for distribution through State Arts Agencies, such as GCA, to sustain the nonprofit arts sector. We believe that arts organizations are uniquely positioned to help our communities heal and remember as well as craft a vision for our future. To this end, the Resiliency Grant has been designed to provide an element of support for non-profit organizations that have felt the impact of COVID-19 and have begun charting the course forward to emerge stronger. The deadline to apply is May 26. For questions about the guidelines, please contact Tina Lilly, Grants Program Director, at tlilly@gaarts.org or 404-962-4827.

Editorial by Pax Bobrow about the 1970 Augusta Rio Editorial by Pax Bobrow about the 1970 Augusta Riot Observance: I was thankful to be included in the work of the 1970 Augusta Riot Observance Steering Committee for almost two years. The historians and researchers in the group performed the heart of the work, but all were welcome to contribute whatever skills and time that they had to the labor of shining a light on this community trauma that has been actively covered over and mis-told for 50 years. What do I feel this group accomplished in the work? It is changing the stories this City tells itself. We challenge the “Why would we want to remember that?” mentality. We have placed upon the table one more piece of truth that has been covered over with excuses and lies and contempt and shame for 50 years. The desire to ignore, compartmentalize, and forcefully forget is why the struggle for us all to live with respect and rights is ongoing. If you haven’t had the opportunity to learn about the events that unfolded in May 1970 here in Augusta, you can begin by visiting www.1970augustariot.com. What next? Bring this into school curricula. It is part of our history. Bring the arts to bear on this struggle, because it is through the arts that we open our hearts. For those of us who have no choice but to be in this fight because of physical appearance, I hope this work will help in the daily struggle for the rights and privileges of full citizenship and equal protection under the law. Every one of us who does not face automatic and daily peril due to the darkness of our skin, or the width of our nose, the shape of our eyes, or the texture of our hair, we must actively become allies in this fight. For every one of us, we must remember. Remember · not only Charles Oatman’s brutalized body, · not only the double-aught buckshot in the backs of 6 Black men and boys in the night of May 11, 1970, · not only that Augusta’s rulers flagrantly and actively defied the desegregation and equal distribution of resources to all schools for 18 years after Brown vs. Board of Education (an entire school generation), · and not only that the May 1970 Augusta Riot did NOT, as the dominant narrative has
Arts in the Heart: Updates for 2020 Artist Payment Arts in the Heart: Updates for 2020 Artist Payment & Refund Policy The COVID-19 pandemic has caused particular hardship for artists who make a living by selling their work at festivals. These artists create work all winter, and travel from spring through fall from town to town, setting up their 10' x10' world of hand-crafted wonders for a few days, one city at a time. To mitigate their professional risks, the Arts in the Heart of Augusta Festival has a payment/refund policy in place in case the festival must be cancelled. If we must cancel, all booth fees will be fully refunded; all jury fees paid this year will be applied to next year’s festival; and a portion of the marketing budget will be reallocated to directing people to the online shops for each of the festival artists, so we can still support them and find that perfect, one-of-a-kind work of art. In addition, the application deadline has been moved to June 10, 2020. Those juried into the festival will pay in two installments, with the final installment due right before the festival, to lessen the risk of confirming a place in Arts in the Heart. #augustaarts #loveaugusta #artsintheheartofaugusta #artsintheheart2020
