Description
Athens is known for its vibrant music and arts culture. With public arts projects, murals throughout town, regular makers markets, concerts and music festivals, the Classic City is a beautiful place for artists to call home. So how do you support these unique aspects of our community and translate this to your business or organizational culture? We have invited these panelists to discuss the important partnership between the business and the arts.
This panel will be moderated by Wendy Cooper, Executive Director of Marketing & Engagement for the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation.
Panelists Include:
Linda Ford, Athens Downtown Development Authority
Linda works with businesses and property owners to maintain an economically vibrant Central Business District. She has long been involved in public arts projects, including the notorious bulldog statues seen around town.
Sheila Collins, Sheila Wraps Stones
Sheila Collins is a local artist and maker specializing in uniquely designed jewelry pieces. She is an active member of the Chamber of Commerce and is currently working with staff to develop resources for artist and maker members.
Kristen Ashely, KA Artist Shop
Kristen opened KA Artist shop in 2014 as an all-around art space in downtown Athens. They work with clients on creative projects and love helping artists share their work.
