The town of Braselton has adopted its very first Public Art Master Plan. Now it’s seeking people to form the Braselton Arts Council.
Braselton has determined that its future will be one with public art at the center of its identity. The Braselton Public Art Master Plan lays out a vision for public art in the community that will be strategically executed throughout the entire Town. The framework in this plan is a strategy for the establishment and operationalization of the Public Art Program. The strategies contained in this plan propose ways to ensure public art in Braselton is transformational, unifying, and is representative of the spirit of the Town.
Residents who love art and want to get involved should read about the plan and the responsibilities of the Council and get a copy of the application on the website. To do so, visit: https://braselton.net/news_detail_T6_R117.php.
Stripers seek performers to sing the National Anthem
The Gwinnett Stripers are once again launching a virtual search for National Anthem performers.
All interested singers, vocal groups (five singers or less), and musicians can send a digital submission (video or audio) of their acapella or unaccompanied performance of the National Anthem to stripersinfo@braves.com by January 31.
Candidates will be judged on tone, pace (90 seconds or less), and clarity. Beginning in February, top candidates will be invited to participate in virtual auditions. No in-person auditions will be held. Those who have been chosen from the virtual auditions will be contacted to schedule a date to sing the National Anthem during the 2022 season.
The Gwinnett Stripers’ 2022 Home Opener at Coolray Field is set for Tuesday, April 12 vs. Nashville.
