ABAC TRIP TO HIGH MUSEUM OF ART DECEMBER 4

The Abraham Baldwin Arts Connection is accepting reservations for a trip to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta on Dec. 4, Polly Huff, Assistant Director of the Arts Connection, said. The first 20 people to sign up for the trip will receive a special holiday surprise.

The cost of the trip is $60 for adults and $50 for students. This price includes a round-trip bus ride, lunch in Atlanta, tickets to the museum, and refreshments. Since seating on the bus is limited, anyone interested in the trip should register early.

The bus will leave Tifton at 8 a.m. and return before 5:30 p.m. People who live in Tifton will be picked up at the Tifton Museum of Arts and Heritage. Those from Cordele will be picked up at the parking lot of Cordele’s Ramada Inn.

Museum visitors will see two exhibits for the price of one. The first exhibit will feature Verrocchio’s “David Restored” from the National Museum of the Bargello in Florence. The statue, which was created in the mid-15th century, underwent a restoration. Visitors will observe new discoveries made during the in-depth, technical examination and cleaning of the sculpture.

The second exhibit, “After Whistler: The Artist and His Influence on American Painting,” will feature the single most famous painting by an American artist, “Whistler’s Mother.”
