ABAC OFFERS TRIP TO GRAND OPENING OF HIGH MUSEUM

TIFTON - The Arts Connection at ABAC invites you to the grand opening of the new High Museum of Art in Atlanta on Dec. 12.

Participants will depart by chartered bus at 7:50 a.m. The trip’s package includes lunch, museum tickets and snacks, as well as a discount coupon for the gift store and an audio guide at the museum in one package. The cost is $65 for adults and $60 for students.

The museum’s inaugural exhibit will be Andrew Wyeth: Memory and Magic and a bonus exhibit, Celebrate Architecture, a Renzo Piano Workshop. Wyeth's exhibit surveys seven decades of his work, and includes approximately 100 rarely seen tempera paintings, watercolors, and drawings.

Renzo Piano is the architect who designed the three new museum buildings, which more than double the museum's size. The Celebrate Architecture exhibit showcases museum projects from around the country. It offers a unique opportunity to view Piano's models in an interactive studio environment.

Space on the bus is limited, so call to reserve a spot or a group block of seats for this trip. Contact Polly Huff, Assistant Director of the ABAC Arts Connection, at (229) 391-4818 or email her at phuff@abac.edu.
