Join us in celebrating the official opening of The Athenaeum, the University of Georgia's newest contemporary art space located at 287 West Broad Street. The exhibition, "Trevor Paglen: Vision After Seeing",  features a series of primarily large-scale landscape photographs and video by the innovative artist who uses contemporary technology to deftly interrogate ways of seeing in the 21st century. The New York Times calls Paglen one of our "foremost artists drawing attention to the power and ubiquity of surveillance technology." 

Art Education graduate students Gabriella Victorio, Meghan Holcomb & Sarah Livant will be teaching embroidery, basic sewing & quilting directions to participants who choose to join the workshops. Linnentown first descendants will be present to tell stories about their experience being pushed out of their homes by UGA and the city of Athens in the 1960's. All are welcome to stop by and learn about what happened to Linnentown and create a quilt square that will be incorporated into the community-based quilt.
