Creativity and Arts Soiree

Emory College for Creativity & Arts invites you to get a taste of the 2011-2012 Arts at Emory season with dance performances, workshops, still-life drawings and music concerts.

The Soiree also begins a year-long exploration of water, curated by the Center for Creativity & Arts.  Through a series of arts performances, lectures and classroom activities, the Arts at Emory explore the many ways humans and water interact.  Water and sustainability-themed activities at the Soiree include sculpture building with recycled water bottles and plastic.  For a complete list of events surrounding water, click here.

The soiree will conclude with the presentation of the Creativity & Arts Awards, which recognize Emory and metro-Atlanta community members who have made significant artistic and administrative contributions to the arts in Atlanta.  The awards presentation begins at 6:45 in the Chase Upper Lobby of the Schwartz Center.  Friends of the Arts at Emory are invited to a wine and cheese reception before the ceremony.

Nominations for Creativity & Arts Awards are being accepted online until Friday, August 19 at 5:00pm.
