Last night was the opening for the\u00c2\u00a0Quinlan Arts Center’s<\/a> ‘Sound Off’, a juried exhibition of about sixty works of art inspired by music. In operation for more than 60 years, the Quinlan began as a sketch club in 1946 and has grown into a renowned regional arts organization. The exhibit will be up until August 13th.<\/p>\n

The arts center is located on historic Green Street and while I didn’t get shots of the area, I found these lovely photos on Flickr by Robert Lz.<\/a> Worth an hour’s drive north, just don’t go at rush hour.<\/p>\n

Here are some shots from the opening. I spent some time talking to a few artists and one of the curators, art historian Ana Pozzi-Harris. The other curator, John Amoss, happened to be playing guitar in the band.<\/p>\n

my painting Blues for Ravel<\/em>, oil on canvas panel, 11″x14″. Inspired by Maurice Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Piano<\/a>, a late composition from 1923-27. He experimented with the jazz influenced second movement ‘Blues. Moderato’ and was himself influenced by American Blues and George Gershwin’s work.<\/p>\n

My favorite piece in the show was Joseph L. ‘Doc’ Johnson’s Bango Drum<\/em>. Mixed media. I talked to Doc at length about not just art, but his archaeological findings of early artifacts in the area. A\u00c2\u00a0 limestone kiln<\/a> was discovered in 2007 near Gainesville and this comprehensive article<\/a> defines archaeology and\u00c2\u00a0describes the challenges of protecting Early Georgia sites. This\u00c2\u00a0link<\/a> offers information on the timeline of early human activity in the Southeast.<\/p>\n

Another interesting work was Marsha Richter’s Garden Mandala Quartet<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First prize winner Hyoungsesk Kim and his painted plywood sculpture, Embryo<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00c2\u00a0HoboHemians<\/a> played backup to the crowd’s hum with Django Reinhardt’s Hot Club renditions and other bouncy tunes.<\/p>\n
