The Art of the Georgia Review
This informal exhibition aims to show some of the breadth of the visual art the Georgia Review has published. Tearsheets from the journal have

words. Other artists whose pages are on display include filmmaker and former UGA instructor James Herbert, oil painter Terry Rowlett,
mixed-media artist Thomas Allen and painters Margaret Morrison and Gaela Erwin.

CATTYWAMPUS: Printmaking Exhibition
Mar. 1 - 26, 2010, the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation (OCAF) in Watkinsville, GA proudly presents CATTYWAMPUS. This exhibition
features the artwork of Faculty and Graduate students from the University of Georgia's Printmaking and Book Arts program. The artists in this
exhibition cite printmaking as their primary artistic medium. However, the application of mark and material deviates from the traditional norms
of what a print is, or could be.
Included in the exhibition are the sculptural and book art works of An Pham, Helen Farmer and Grace Zuniga, as well as prints and drawings
from Melissa Harshman, Jon Swindler and Andy Burkitt. Although executing various media and strategies in their work, the exhibition
collectively functions within the visual and conceptual language of printmaking. "Catawampus", the title for the exhibition refers to the abnormal
and various interpretations, of printmaking, presented by these artists.
A reception will be held on Friday, March 5th, 6-9 PM.
Gallery hours are 10am-4pm Tuesday thru Saturday.

UGA Opera Ensemble presents The Merry Widow
Hugh Hodgson School of Music
The University of Georgia Opera Ensemble will present a fully-staged performance of Franz Lehar's romantic comedy The Merry Widow in
Hodgson Concert Hall at the UGA Performing Arts Center. Though officially an opera, The Merry Widow has the lightness of an operetta while
playing like a musical.
The UGA production features a large cast with 10 leading roles and a chorus ensemble of 15, all of whom will share the stage with a small
chamber orchestra, conducted by Gary DiPasquasio. The opera's multiple dance scenes are choreographed by Denise Posnak, a visiting lecturer
in the UGA department of dance.
The Merry Widow is the story of a fictional country whose financial fortunes rest on the romantic whims of a recently widowed character
cavorting with potential suitors in Paris. Multiple story lines intersect around the romance between Hanna Glawari, the title role played by UGA
master's student and opera regular Monica Murphy, and Danilo, the male lead played by Asher Payne, who will be making his UGA opera debut.
TIME: 8 p.m.
TICKETS: $15 for adults and $7 for UGA students.

Atlanta Gay Men's Chorus
University of Georgia Performing Arts Center
Macy's presents The Atlanta Gay Men's Chorus on tour. "The Road Leads Back: Georgia On Our Minds" features the 100-voice chorus
performing a wide range of musical styles from jazz to classical music, satire to spirituals, and love songs to Broadway. The first part of the
concert, "Journeys," includes highlights from the chorus' past three seasons, including Wagner's "Pilgrims Chorus," selections from Daniel
Pinkham's "Sinfonia Sacra," as well as classic tunes like "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," Billy Strayhorn's "Take the A-Train," and the
timeless "Georgia On My Mind." Part two of the concert will feature AGMC's critically acclaimed original production of "Shaken, Not Heard:
Stories of Gay Men, Faith and Reconciliation"--a powerful glimpse into the tenuous relationship between gay men and organized religion.
Theatrical in structure, "Shaken, Not Heard" has been lauded for its wisdom, power and potential for healing and is a must see for anyone who
has ever felt at odds with the teachings of their church.
TIME: 8 p.m.

A Live Jazz & Silent Film Event, presented by Robert Osborne's Classic Film Festival
Classic Center Theatre
Bandleader/composer/guitarist Dan Nettles has woven a stunning sonic tapestry that fits alongside Buster Keaton's classic silent film "Steamboat
Bill, Jr." Although well steeped in the American jazz tradition, the music manages to defy complete classification. Rather than focusing on
long-winded soloing, the emphasis is always on the total band sound, melody, texture, and solid grooves. The event is designed to have
something for everyone: It's a jazz concert it's a film, it's a chamber ensemble, it's a comedy, it's a rock band, it's all these things rolled into one.

Deluge Exhibit
ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art
ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art presents its spring exhibition, Deluge, which features artists' explorations of our relationships
with floods, their aftermath and the weather leading to them. Deluge is a study in how humanity reacts to the impacts of environmental forces
beyond our control. A thought-provoking exhibit of paintings, photography, conceptual embroideries and a large sculptural installation, it
consequently addresses global warming and land use issues. The works will be enhanced by a 3' high water line painted directly on the gallery
walls, designed to simulate the feeling of wading in the gallery. ATHICA's 35th exhibit will be accompanied by a catalog penned by guest
essayist Ben Emanuel.
Following the record-breaking floods of this past fall and winter--which followed an historic, severe drought--Deluge is timely in North Georgia.
Yet the exhibit also explores fundamental and timeless questions of how people inhabit the natural landscape, both literally and emotionally. The
works encourage audiences to look intently at the circumstances and scenes of floods--some exhibiting an intense sensitivity to the natural
environment and the social impacts of a flood, and some created at an intentional remove. Curated by Lizzie Zucker Saltz. Guest Essayist, Ben
Emanuel. Featured Artist, Tom Berenz (Oshkosh, Wisconsin).
AFFILIATED EVENTS:
5/29: Washed: An evening of flowing song and sound; 8 p.m.; $6-$9 suggested donation
Local experimental musicians performing continuously: Box Devils, The Subliminator, Tunabunny.
5/30: Closing Day Events; 3:30-6:30 p.m.; No admission charge
Panel Discussion with visiting and local artists moderated by curator Lizzie Zucker Saltz & guest essayist Ben Emanuel, Discussion of natural
extremes and manmade mistakes, rain barrel demo & porch barbecue.

FLUKE Mini-Comics Festival, 9th Annual
Ciné
FLUKE is a mini-comic festival that has been organized by Athens-area comic artists, underground publishers and their enthusiasts since 2002.
Conceived as a venue for the discussion and exchange of timely ideas related to mini-comics, zines, and other independent publications, FLUKE
is not a large comic convention or merchandising-saturated extravaganza. This isn't to say we don't like our share of stuff--'cause we do.
However, we have kept the organization of the event as simple as possible to ensure that it remains focused on work and ideas rather than
merchandising.

location to the one where they are found now. Did you know our own Georgia peach originally came from China? Each team (no more than five)
will work together to complete a list of Garden explorations, finding plants and forests treasures and documenting their uses and native regions.
Teams must stay together during the hunt. Prizes will be awarded to the first five teams to finish. This program is designed for families but others
are welcome as well. Meet in front of Visitors Center.

Gary Allan
Classic Center Theatre
It's raw and emotional. It's freight-train-to-nowhere lonely. It's hard-rockin', no-apologies country music that has traded in its twang for a gravelly
growl millions of fans recognize as the voice of Gary Allan. And with Living Hard, his latest release from MCA Nashville, Allan once again
proves that, though times may change, the thread of truth at the center of his music remains the same. Gary has a number of well known radio
hits and you will not want to miss this one night only show in Athens!

Premiere of Russell Library's Oral History Film: "Lorena Weeks, Trailblazer for Equity"
The Russell Library at the University of Georgia is proud to present the premiere screening of "Lorena Weeks, Trailblazer for Equal
Opportunity," an oral history of an amazing Georgia woman who played a pioneering role in overturning unfair labor practices towards women
in the United States in the 1960s.
Dr. Kathleen Clark, Associate Professor of History at UGA will introduce the screening of the oral history film of Ms. Weeks. In the 1960s,
Weeks courageously challenged the discriminatory practices of her employer, Southern Bell. After a several-year long struggle, Weeks won her
case, successfully arguing that Southern Bell's longstanding practice of excluding women from many higher-paying positions was a violation of
Title 7 of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Her case, Weeks v. Southern Bell, rendered a precedent-setting decision that helped to overturn "protective
legislation" and related policies that had long excluded women from desirable and well-paid work. Following the program there will be a light
reception and time for questions and discussion. Ms. Lorena Weeks will be a special honored guest at the event.

rated programs in the network's history. His appearance at UGA is part of his "3 Balloons" tour in support of his album of the same title.
Lynch has made appearances on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," "The World Comedy Tour," and "The World Stands Up." He has also

Tour de Farm
Tour de Farm is a three-day, approximately 100-mile bike ride to many small local farms in and around Athens-Clarke County.
In 2007, Justin Ellis organized a unique event that combined his love for cycling with his love for local agriculture to create Athens Tour de
Farm. Tour de Farm is a three-day, approximately 100-mile bike ride to many small local farms in and around Athens-Clarke County. In 2009,
with the blessing and guidance of Justin, PLACE assumed the responsibility of organizing Tour de Farm. The 2009 Tour de Farm was a huge
success, as both riders and volunteers alike connected to and formed relationships with the agricultural landscapes of Northeast Georgia, the food
grown locally and seasonally in our region, and the people working hard to produce this food sustainably.
It is now with much excitement that we announce that PLACE has once again chosen to put on this great event, organizing the 2010 Athens Tour
de Farm! The 2010 Tour de Farm will follow the basic format of the 2007 and 2009 rides and visit 8 farms in three days, covering between 30
and 35 miles a day. Riders will depart from the State Botanical Gardens on the morning of Friday, April 30 and will return to the Botanical
Gardens the evening of Sunday, May 2. As in past years, we will visit diverse local farms representing unique aspects of our local food culture.
Guest chefs will prepare the dinner Friday and Saturday night, while breakfast, lunch and snacks each day will be comparatively simple, but
hearty. Riders will also camp on a farm each night, and will be responsible for their own tents. Tents and all other gear will be transported by van
to each of the overnight destinations.
COST: $150 per rider; includes all meals and snacks, insurance for each rider, compensation to each farm for their hospitality, and a T-shirt.
More than 40% of each registration goes directly to the farmer while 50% goes mostly to food, much of which will be purchased from the same
local farmers.
Registration for the 2010 Athens Tour de Farm is on a first come, first serve basis, as the Tour is limited to 30 riders for logistical reasons. To
reserve a space please email Tim and Ellison at athenstourdefarm[at]gmail[dot]com. You will then be sent a registration form and payment
details that must be received by March 22nd to confirm your participation.

Beverly "Guitar" Watkins: Hot Corner Blues
Morton Theatre
If you've never seen a blues lady who can play her guitar behind her head, belt out songs, and roll over to sweet gospel, you've never been in the
house when Beverly 'Guitar' Watkins was on stage. As the years add up, musicians can get a bit softer, toning down the show and settling into a
deep steady sound. For Beverly 'Guitar' Watkins that's a back door she's not taking. Watkins set fire to the stage with Piano Red in the 1950s and
1960s, worked with James Brown, B.B. King, and Ray Charles, and kept the heat going in Atlanta blues clubs for decades. Backed by an equally
legendary all-star band including Albert White, Eddie Tigner, Lil' Joe Burton, Ardie Dean, and Ulysses Grant, Ms. Watkins will deliver "hard
classic blues, stompin' blues, railroad smokin' blues." A night fit for the sizzlin' Hot Corner!
This event is in conjunction with the Hot Corner Association's 10th annual street festival full of fun, food, music, and art to commemorate the

Song of a Child
What began as a casual conversation between theatre majors Thomas Wynne and Katelyn Foley has turned into an original collaborative
performance including its own writer, designers, composer, and live 15-piece orchestra. Song of a Child invokes childhood imagination while

Grant from the New Georgia group, all of the people involved have been extremely excited about the performance's process and its completion
into a full-fledged production.

manipulation of the proceeding for their own benefit causes it to go askew and finally leads to the public lambasting they so richly deserve.

Classic City Rollergirls vs. Soul City Sirens (Augusta, GA)
Classic City Rollergirls
Athens own female flat-track roller derby league takes on Augusta. Roller derby is family friendly, so plan to bring the kids! For those unfamiliar
with roller derby, a recent movie "Whip It" with Drew Barrymore showcased this newly revived hard-hitting sport. Although roller derby has
countless rules much like baseball or football, the general objectives are simple. Two teams of skaters race around a track to get their point
scoring skater, or jammer, past the opposing team. As jammers compete for points, skaters use strategic blocking, power moves and speed to
outscore opponents creating a fast-paced, competitive, all-female contact sport on wheels.
Training three times a week year round, CCRG is comprised of a committed group of amateur athletes from a diversity of backgrounds that
includes a fire fighter, a librarian, a hair dresser, small business owners, and several UGA students. In addition, the league also includes a host of
volunteers including referees and non-skating officials.

"Dancing Naked Under Palm Trees" Art Exhibit
State Botanical Garden of Georgia
This exhibition marries the writings of the Harlem Renaissance Poets with the watercolors of Par Ramey to create 2010 stories from Ramey's
heart specifically focusing on 'poem' references to nature, plants, flowers, and landscapes. Ramey, who was an English major in a former life, has
a fondness for the seldom read poetry of this 1920's period in American History. The 'invisible people in America,' a group of Black dislocated
artists, writers, poets and theatrical performers, left southern states to congregate in Washington, DC, finally settling in Harlem, New York to tell
stories from the heart. Ramey, an Athens native, is a former police detective, news reporter, school teacher and singer--who is now a Master
Gardener and one course away from receiving her Certificate in Native Plants. All work is original and for sale. On display in the Visitor Center
Lobby.

Great American Dawg Jump
Over 100 dogs are expected to participate in the Great American Dawg Jump which will attract hundreds of people to the Oconee Veterans Park
to watch and participate in dog dock diving competitions. Anyone can enter their dog in competition. Come watch dogs jump or be there for the
jump-off between Douglas County and Oconee County K9 units.
Also known as dock jumping, the sport of dock diving is a rapidly growing sport in the United States. Most competitions are held in a regulation
dock diving pool, while some competitions are in a natural body of water. Big Air is the most popular discipline, as this is what most people
think of when they hear the term dock diving. In Big Air, the dog runs down the dock and jumps out for a toy that has been thrown into or out
over the water. The measurement is taken at the point at which the base of the dog's tail (where it meets the body) hits the water.
Times vary on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Attendance to watch is free; registration costs are available at
