The Athens-Clarke County (ACCGov) Leisure Services Arts Division invites artists to submit proposals for a temporary light sculpture for display during the “Flight of the Fireflies” Lantern Parade in Dudley Park, which will take place on March 8, 2025.

The goal is to select up to four (4) sculptures for display in various sites around Dudley Park. The selected artist(s) will work with government staff to create temporary light art that enhances the participant experience during the event.

The Globe is hosting a Market and Mingle event on August 11th from 1:00-6:00pm. We encourage new and returning students and faculty to stop by! We would love to share our space and give artists who are interested a tour of the upstairs, and allow them the opportunity to talk to someone about hanging their artwork up for a month or joining a future market (both free to do!). Vendors keep 100% of their profits.

The Lyndon House Arts Center is seeking volunteers! There are ongoing opportunities to volunteer at the Arts Center, including:

ELEVATE is dedicated to showcasing the filmmaking talent of minority student filmmakers, specifically looking to highlight diversity with regards to race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, disabilities (acquired or developmental), and/or religion. 

We are currently searching for judges who belong to a racial, ethnic, religious, gender, or sexual orientation minority. 

Our submissions are all handled online, so all you need is an internet connection and a love of film! The deadline to submit film is March 19 so the judging process will start immediately after that. 

Seeking volunteers to help with painting two murals at the Bigger Vision Community Shelter. We need volunteers the morning of January 16th, 17th, 19th, and 21st. Please sign up for whatever day(s) and time(s) that work best for your schedule. We will be figuring out carpooling and shuttling due to limited parking. This is a great chance to help the community of Athens off campus and get mural painting experience. Previous painting experience is not needed.

Period Project Art Night is an exhibition of local artwork. Our second annual Period Project Art Night will be on Friday, December 2nd at 6:30 to 8:00 PM. It will be held at the same location as last year: Rabbit Hole Studios (1001 Winterville Rd.)

Instead of charging an entrance fee, we ask that attendees donate period products. These will be delivered to our community partners (local mutual aid groups, nonprofits, high schools, etc.) A $3 optional ticket fee will also be requested at the door and all proceeds will go directly to our organization.
