Art in Freedom Park Update

Art in Freedom Park debuted on Sunday May 1 with the unveiling
of twenty sculptures and site specific installations.  In
addition to the installations, opening day celebrations included
nine performances.  The day started with a May Day dance by the
community and students from The Waldorf School of Atlanta around
Corrina Mensoff's Maypole. An afternoon of performances by One
People Voice Company, Z-Axis, Nu South Subterraneans, Kevin
Dunn, Brad Michalove Andrews & MB, Beacon Dance Company, Lowlife
Puppet Theater, films by Neil Fried and the lighting of the
Tunnel of Transformation on Freedom Park hill kept everyone
entertained into the evening.

The official opening of Art in Freedom Park is scheduled for
Sunday June 5 when the final 13 installations will be unveiled.
Festivities will again include many exciting performances that
will run from 2:00 =96 9:00 on the hill east of Moreland Avenue
near Druid Place.  Please come out to help us celebrate the
successful initiation of Art in Freedom Park and also to enjoy
both the installed pieces and performances.  A detailed schedule
of performances along with a map of installations and pictures
of the artworks and the May 1 events can be found at

Art in Freedom Park is the first of a series of public art
installations within Freedom Park.  It was made possible through
the hard work of the Art in Freedom Park task force which is a
committee of the Freedom Park Conservancy.  Members of the task
force have put in many hours to make this event possible and are
looking for individuals willing to volunteer to help with the
exhibition as we move forward.  We need people that are able to
help raise funds, perform public relations, write grants, and
maintain the areas around the installations.  Persons interested
in getting involved should contact the Art in Freedom Park task
force at artinfreedompark@yahoo.com
