Tucker Arts Alliance Holds First Public Meeting OUR TOWN DEKALB STAFF
A
bout two dozen Tucker residents attended the first public meeting of the fledgling Tucker Arts Alliance on Monday night, March 21. Attendees explored ways to communicate with each other, promote current arts programming, and secure support for local arts programs from city government and civic organizations. The variety of performing and visual arts pleased all the participants, who planned to spread the word to their contacts. “I was thrilled about the city’s enthusiasm [for] an arts alliance,” said fiber artist Roxanne Brown. Claire Hayes, one of the meeting organizers, called the meeting “astounding and energizing – so much creativity, experience and commitment in one room.” The next public meeting of the Tucker Arts Alliance is Monday, April 11, at 7 p.m., at First Christian Church of Atlanta, 4532 Lavista Road. The agenda will include plans to staff the organization’s tent at Tucker Day, as well as a first attempt to define the mission of the organization. The Tucker Arts Alliance Tucker Day tent will be located at the end of First Avenue on Saturday, May 7. There will be opportunities to meet members, network with many working artists, and offer opinions on what the alliance can bring to Tucker.
