As Spruill Center for the Arts celebrates its 50th anniversary, a new organizational logo will be revealed at its 39th annual Artistic Affair on March 29.
The new logo, according to Spruill Center CEO Alan Mothner, “captures, under one umbrella, the classes at the education and the exhibits and shop at the gallery, while also creating distinctive branding for each location as well as any future endeavors.”
Artistic Affair will be held at the center’s new event space, 5339 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd., and will incorporate a ‘70s theme with its decor and music by DJ Bismark.
Attendees are encouraged to dress in their best funky attire from the decade, Mothner said. Along with the logo reveal, there will be other major announcements involving the center’s future.
The party will also focus on raising $50,000 for scholarships for those who are financially unable to take classes at the center.
In addition to the live and silent auctions, the evening will feature a competitive raffle where the winner will be determined by a rock-paper-scissors competition.
Spruill is experiencing record numbers of class participants since its facility expanded by an additional 8,300 square feet, which was completed last January.
Disciplines taught at the Spruill Center include ceramics, decorative arts, drawing, fiber arts, glass, jewelry, mixed media, mosaics, painting, photography, and sculpture.
The Spruill Gallery, which is located in an historic 1867-1905 home on Ashford Dunwoody Road in the Perimeter area, mounts four to six exhibitions each year in a variety of mediums, including its Holiday Artists Market.
The gallery’s exhibits promote emerging artists, established artists and the artwork created at the education center each year during the Spruill Student & Faculty Juried Exhibition.
Tickets for Artistic Affair, which are now on sale, include a full buffet, free valet parking, and an open bar.
