TODAY’S FOCUS

Georgia’s Hudgens Art Prize finalist exhibit will open Aug. 10 

By Heather Loveridge

DULUTH, Ga.  | The Hudgens Center for Art and Learning has announced two upcoming exhibitions: The Hudgens Prize Finalists Exhibition, and Chrysalis: 2018-19 smART Honors Program Exhibition. The exhibition features the works of Darien Arikoski-Johnson, Benae Beamon, Paul Benjamin and Michi Meko.

Both exhibitions will debut with opening receptions, free and open to the public, on August 10 from 2-4 p.m. The community is also invited to attend artists’ talks: Darien Arikoski-Johnson and Paul S Benjamin on August 24 from 2-4 p.m. and Michi Meko and Benae Beamon on September 14 from 2-4 p.m. Both exhibitions will be on view from August 10-October 26. 

The Hudgens Prize Finalists Exhibition is the final stage before The Hudgens Prize winner is announced at The Hudgens’ pARTy: Club Tropicana on October 5 at 7 p.m. Tickets to the pARTy are available at thehudgens.org

With a coveted cash award of $50,000 as well as a solo exhibition for one talented Georgia Artist, the Hudgens Prize is one of the largest awards given to an individual artist in the nation. Open to entrants 18 and up, the Hudgens Prize visual arts competition is intended to elevate the arts in Georgia and to offer a transformational opportunity to one Georgia artist.

The Hudgens Center hosted the first $50,000 competition for Georgia artists in 2010 with award winner Gyun Hur’s solo exhibition in 2011. Atlanta artist, Pam Longobardi was the 2013 Hudgens Prize recipient and Bethany Collins was the winner in 2015. Lauri Stallings is the most recent recipient and her work was on display in 2018.

Since its inception, The Hudgens Prize program has been generously supported by an anonymous donor who has provided $500,000 to not only fund the prize, but a significant portion of the administration, exhibitions and process.

In The Hudgens Prize’s 10 year history, The Hudgens has engaged 15 jurors from the global arts scene, highlighted 19 finalists and will recognize the fifth Hudgens Prize recipient this year. The 2019 Hudgens Prize jury panel consists of: Glenn Adamson, Senior Scholar at the Yale Center for British Art; Anne Ellegood, Senior Curator, Hammer Museum; and Amber Esseiva, Assistant Curator, Institute for Contemporary Art, Virginia Commonwealth University.

The 2019 Hudgens Prize Recipient will have a solo exhibition in The Hudgens galleries from August-October 2020.

THE EXHIBIT of Chrysalis: 2018-19 smART Honors also opens August 10 and offers visitors the chance to experience the transformation of young artists as seen through their work. The Hudgens smART Honors Program develops the minds of young artists through skill-building and research into contemporary art for a better understanding of the creative process. 

Students are challenged with the task of creating a cohesive body of work, culminating in this final presentation of multiple works based around process and material or thematic concept. Like the transformation of butterflies, from pupa to maturity, students underwent an evolutionary process of growth and emerged as confident artists.

EEB PERSPECTIVE

We put another nickel in the ways we now constantly hear music

By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum

AUG. 6, 2019  | It’s amazing to me how much many of us spend on recorded music. From listening to individual tunes, to buying instruments to play these songs, to providing a few cents to the individual composers, not just Americans, but people all over the world shell out a lot of money for music.

Recorded music is more universal than it has ever been. It is virtually everywhere, overwhelming us at every turn.  Though more prevalent today than ever, it’s been a larger part of our lives since radio began in the 1920s.

Each succeeding generation has had more music around them. 

However, think back before the recording industry.  In much earlier times, music was often associated with traveling minstrels. You could not get music just anywhere. More normal, music was part of a church service. 

Think back to the key classical composers: where would we be without the legacy that Beethoven, Brahms, Bach and others gave to the world. Yet most people were not privy to such performances at a time when they were first composed.

But think, too, of how few people routinely could even hear music as part of the everyday turn of events. They might sing, or hum, a tune.  But hear as we do today? Didn’t happen.

As radio became more common, first it was live performances in the studio of radio stations, the early celebrities of their day. Then recorded music became more common. Radio stations soon found out that it was easier, and also cheaper, to play recorded music over the airways than it was to bring in paid performers. And eventually, in the late 30s, 40s, 50s and into the 60s, disc jockeys filled the airways of many of the nation’s radio stations, eager to fill the time between commercials with something that people would stay with. (Television cut into the radio audience later on.)

Entertainers from many venues, from gospel to hillbilly to popular and onto classical music, spread across the United States. (That’s from my experience in the USA; wonder what was happening in other countries, probably similar formats, but of that particular culture.)

Meanwhile, individuals started listening to music on new machinery, with Thomas Edison’s phonograph being the first in 1877. Then came a procession of new instruments, each better than the previous one, as a way to distribute music, each finding people willing to shell out money for the latest craze.

First came the wind-up Victrola (1896), and eventually electric radios (1920), record players (successively 78, 45 and 33 rpm), the transistor radio (1954) and audio cassettes (1963).  Then onto 8-track tapes (1965), compact discs (1983), MP3 players (1998) and finally, in 2001, the first IPod. 

(Besides Edison, blame also Emile Berliner, a German-born American inventor, working as an accountant to make ends meet.  His Gramophone was the first to play a disk of recorded music in 1887. The Victrola was the first commercially available record player.)

Happy as ever, music enthusiasts always seemed eager to shell out cash for each new development, which often was a new way to hear music.

As the equipment changed, so did the size and in many ways, the complexity of new gadgets. Look how tiny the devices we plug into our ears are now, podcasts, etc. Compare that, particularly, with the size of a Victrola.

We have progressed from one era to another in music, from acoustic (1877), to electronic (1925), to magnetic (1945) to digital (1975). Where will it lead next?

We want our music always available, many wanting it with us all the time!

City of Snellville seeks ideas on improving T.W. Briscoe Park

By Brian Arrington

SNELLVILLE, Ga.  | What would make T.W. Briscoe Park better?

Snellville leaders will be looking for answers to that question at two public meetings as part of Phase III of the T.W. Briscoe Park Master Plan update.

Nearly $4 million was set aside in 2014 Special Local Option Sales Tax funds for renovations at the park, possibly including a multipurpose building.

Parks and Recreation Director Lisa Platt says: “A new multipurpose building would give us better ability to provide more diverse programming, better meeting and activity rooms and better offices. It’s about being able to offer more options to visitors to the park. It opens a lot of options we haven’t been able to provide.”

The first meeting to discuss this will be from 6 to 8 p.m. August 15 at the park office at 2500 Sawyer Parkway. The second meeting is from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Sept. 19 at City Hall, 2342 Oak Road.

This would be the fourth round of SPLOST improvements at the park. The first three – dubbed Phase I, IIa and IIb – started in 2008 and included additional restrooms, additional sidewalks, a multipurpose field, parking lot improvements and a softball complex.
The meeting is open to the public. Citizen input will help determine the needs of the community which will shape the future use of the park. For more information call the parks office at 770-985-3535.

Objects being put in a category according to definitions online

Editor, the Forum:

The term “white nationalism” has been tossed around extensively lately and I never thought I could be put in that group.   I believe God is an equal opportunity creator, making beautiful, creative and intelligent people in all flavors.   

I have been amazed by the history of European dominance for 500 years over 80 percent of the other people in the world.   But if one objects to millions migrating at will into the European countries and North America,  one is a white nationalist according to definitions online.  We can’t migrate anywhere in the same way.  I object.

Snellville readying to spend $762,000 in new year on public works

Residents may not always see all the work Snellville’s Public Works Department does. That’s because much of it is underground and done before issues become visible.

During the 2018-2019 fiscal budget year, Public Works crews took on four emergency projects totaling $172,516. Though these projects may not be seen on the surface, they saved streets from collapsing and stormwater infrastructure from failing, stopping potential woes city officials are eager to prevent.

City Manager Butch Sanders says: “People should know, while the consequences of these issues are not dire, certainly the fixes helped prevent potential injury and damage to homes and vehicles in the street.” 

Public Works’ largest emergency repair last fiscal year took place on Bennett Ridge, where a hole more than seven-feet wide and eight-feet deep opened up. A sinkhole occurs when pipes, some of which can be more than 50 years old, are badly deteriorated. When water pressure increases during a storm in the pipes, rainwater siphons dirt into the pipe, wearing it away, according to Allan Snipes, assistant director of Snellville Public Works. The hole, which was big enough to swallow a car, took two weeks to repair.

This fiscal year, which started July 1, Public Works is taking on 11 capital projects totaling $762,000. Stormwater projects are expected on Greenturf Drive, Classic Drive, Summit Chase Drive, Valley View, Harbor Oak Drive, Riverbend Drive, Grand Central and Classic Drive.

Also during this fiscal year, Public Works is slated to spend $696,000 on 2.96 miles of resurfacing on 15 city streets. Along with city funds, these projects will be paid for with state Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant monies and Special Local Option Sales Tax funds. The streets include Scenic Drive, Lanier Drive, Lanier Way, Vail Valley Court, Aspen Ridge Court, Heavenly Lane, Beaver Creek Lane, Brooks Court, Valley Drive, Valley Way, Twin Springs Drive, Deer Valley Court, Summit Turf, Timberline Trace and Zermatt Way.

American Lion by Jon Meacham

From John Titus, Peachtree Corners:  This Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Andrew Jackson concentrates on his years as president. It follows his life from his being orphaned through the White House on to his final years. Those early orphan years had a profound effect on him in adulthood as he came to place an extremely high value on family. His role in the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812 catapulted him into the national spotlight and was the beginning of his political career. He created the presidency as a center of power separate from the legislative branch. His biggest crisis was fighting to preserve the union in the face of the nullification challenge in the early 1830s. Meacham draws on newly discovered family letters and papers to paint a vivid picture of Jackson. Jackson was a man who could be harsh, but sentimental; astute, but blind; frank, but calculating.

GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA TIDBIT

McMichen was respected early fiddle performer

Clayton McMichen became one of the most successful and respected fiddlers to gain experience and exposure at the Georgia Old-Time Fiddlers’ Conventions, held in Atlanta from 1913 to 1935.

McMichen was born on January 26, 1900, at Allatoona, in Cobb County. With a father who played fiddle and a grandfather who played banjo, he showed an interest in music at an early age. By the time he was 11 years old, he was playing the fiddle and eagerly learning the ancient tunes that had been handed down in his family. His first documented appearance at the Atlanta fiddlers’ conventions was in 1922, when he won second place for his rendition of “Arkansas Traveler.”

On September 18, 1922, a mere six months after Atlanta’s first radio station, WSB, went on the air, McMichen and a group of his musician friends, calling themselves the Home Town Boys, made their broadcast debut. They soon became one of the most frequently appearing acts on the station, and their programs, featuring a mixture of fiddle tunes, popular jazz numbers, and familiar ballads, provided entertainment for WSB listeners over the next four years.

In 1923, at a fiddlers’ contest in Macon, McMichen won first place with his fiddling ability, and a newspaper reporter covering the event dubbed him “The North Georgia Wildcat.” The epithet stuck, and McMichen’s future fiddle bands became known as the Georgia Wildcats. 

Between 1926 and 1930 McMichen recorded with Gid Tanner‘s famous Skillet Lickers, an influential Atlanta-based old-time string band. Modern critics have given McMichen much of the credit for the success of the Skillet Lickers, citing his jazzy but polished fiddling. McMichen himself criticized some of his fellow Skillet Lickers band members for being “about 30 years” behind the times in their musical styles and repertoire.

On January 13, 1931, McMichen made what was apparently his last appearance on Atlanta radio with a broadcast over WSB. He subsequently worked on various radio stations in Pittsburgh, Penn., in the Midwest, and in Nashville, Tenn.where he was a member of the Grand Ole Opry. McMichen settled in Louisville, Ky., where, for many years before his retirement in 1955, he was heard regularly on local radio and television stations. During the last ten years of his professional career, McMichen led his band in Dixieland jazz arrangements that met with enthusiasm among his audiences.

McMichen was rediscovered during the 1960s folk music revival, and for several years he made appearances on college campuses and at bluegrass and folk festivals around the country. Although known primarily for his performances on stage, radio, and records, McMichen was a songwriter of considerable talent. Some of his compositions that gained wide acceptance among country musicians were “My Carolina Home,” “Dear Old Dixie Land,” “Peach Pickin’ Time in Georgia,” and “Georgiana Moon.” He died in Battletown, Ky., on January 3, 1970.

MYSTERY PHOTO

Classical structure welcomes your ideas as to its whereabouts

Sitting somewhat on a hill, with classical columns, and looking distinguished, where is this building? Figure out where today’s Mystery Photo is located, send in your idea to elliott@brack.net, and be sure to include your hometown. 

Apparently a lot of people from these parts (and others) visit Pensacola, Fla., and its National Museum of the United States Navy, the subject of the last Mystery Photo. We say that since so many people recognized the photo that Jerry Colley of Alpharetta sent in. 

First in was Lynn Naylor, Atlanta, saying: “I think this Mystery Pix is The National Museum of the United States Navy…or U.S. Navy Museum for short. If so, this is the flagship museum of the United States Navy and is located in the former Breech Mechanism Shop of the old Naval Gun Factory on the grounds of the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. The Blue Angels displays are in several aviation museums, but I believe the photo today is from their home base in Pensacola at the National Naval Aviation Museum.”

Now see how many others recognized it, including Ann Serrie, Lawrenceville; Bob Forman, Grayson;

Patti Clemmons, Lawrenceville; Jo Shrader, Suwanee; David Will, Lilburn; Eddie Copeland, Peachtree Corners; and Theirn Scott, Lawrenceville; and Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill, who said:  “It calls itself the largest naval aviation museum in the world and boasts more than 150 restored aircraft representing the Navy, the Marine Corps and the Coast Guard Aviation. (And admission is free!)”

Others contributing the right answer: Jim Savadelis, Duluth: “I have been to many air museums across the U.S. being an aviation enthusiast, including both buildings of the Smithsonian. The Pensacola museum is one of the best.”

Lou Camerio, Lilburn: “I first saw the Blue Angels fly when I was five years old at Pensacola. We were visiting my sister and brother-in-law when my first niece was born.”

George Graf of Palmyra, Va. provided: “The museum’s collection includes the handwritten letters of Henry C. Mustin, the Naval aviation pioneer who established an air training base at Pensacola.In a Jan. 21, 1914 letter to his wife, Mustin describes the conditions at the Pensacola base: “The whole place is in a scandalous condition and I surely have a job on my hands. It looks as if it had been abandoned 50 years ago and since then had been used as a dump,” he wrote.  Later in the letter, he detailed his plans for flight training.  “It will take two weeks hard work before we can start the flying school for we have to build runways and do a lot of grading; I have 200 blue jackets on that kind of work and they seem to enjoy it.”

Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex. “Established in 1914, all Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard aviators and Naval Flight Officers must pass through the NAS Pensacola gates as part of their aviation training. The station also serves as the home base for the world-famous Blue Angels Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, a display of which is featured in the mystery photo.

“The National Naval Aviation Museum is one of the most-visited museums in the state of Florida. More than 150 beautifully restored, historic and one-of-a-kind aircraft are displayed both inside the Museum’s 350,000 square feet of exhibit space and outside on its 37-acre grounds. The ceremony center of the Museum is the Blue Angels Atrium, a 10,000 square foot, 75- foot tall exhibit space that is surrounded by generations of naval training aircraft, and has the four, blue McDonnell Douglas A-4F Skyhawk jets hanging majestically from the ceiling as if frozen in time while flying in a forever perfect diamond formation. The familiar blue and gold high-gloss paint recalls the Blue Angels Skyhawk era (circa 1974) and all four of these planes saw combat in Vietnam.

“If you are interested in seeing the Blue Angels fly, but are unable to attend an airshow where they are featured, you can see them practice over the museum on select days throughout the year. Practices last about 55 minutes, and admission is free and open to the public (but parking is limited, so be sure to arrive early!).”

LAGNIAPPE

Lawrenceville native became heavyweight champion of the world

Situated on the lawn of the Historic Courthouse in Lawrenceville sits this tablet in memory of Ezzard Charles, a Lawrenceville native born in 1921, with a photo taken by Roving Photographer Frank Sharp. Known for his slick defense and precision, Charles is considered one of the greatest fighters of all time. Charles defeated numerous Hall of Fame fighters in three different weight classes. He retired with a record of 95 wins, 15 losses and 1 draw. He left Lawrenceville when a youth, and grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was known as “The Cincinnati Cobra.” He won the heavyweight title when he outpointed Jersey Joe Walcott over 15 rounds on June 22, 1949. The following year, he outpointed his idol and former World Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis. Successful defenses against Walcott, Lee Oma and Joey Maxim followed. Later in life he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Charles died on May 28, 1975, in Chicago.
