TAILOR MADE Family Business Sets the Standard for Modern Men’s Style
STORY BY JENNIFER COLOSIMO PHOTOS BY AUSTIN STEELE
T
he evolution of the men’s suit is a pretty consistent visual. What is still recognized as a typical suit today looks a lot like what it did when it was first invented in the early 1800s. In that same century, a New York City sewing machine salesman with a long heritage in the art of tailoring made his own mark on the suit design timeline. That man was Abe Zeeman, and the company he started in 1898, Barry’s Menswear, is still dressing men in quality suits today. It began with suit separates crafted on rent-

to-own sewing machines for patriarch Abe, but as business boomed it became a wholesale business of fine suits and separates sold in specialty stores and high-end department stores nationwide. A family business, Barry’s Menswear assumed its current name when secondgeneration owner Harold Zeeman moved the company (and his family) to the Deep South and opened a factory and storefront with hope his grandson would one day take over. Today his grandson, fourth-generation owner Barry Zeeman, carries on the legacy.
Gainesville has been home to Barry’s Menswear since 1964, enabling the company to offer both longtime and new customers an enormous inventory of classic, quality-made products. “It’s interesting how the company ended up in the South, but if you think about what was going on in the big cities back then, it makes sense,” Zeeman said. “You had to deal with the mob, with risky labor union disputes and other serious crimes in New York City. The South provided an easier way to run a business.”
Clara Chambers, right, an employee at Barry’s Menswear, assists a customer.
Zeeman was only 3 when he moved to Georgia, and loves the kind community Gainesville offers his family — and the business. “The business is just part of my blood,” he said. “We operate on an old fashioned, specialty store concept where professionals wait on you, take the time to make sure something fits properly and have the skills to make sure it’s altered properly. That’s why we know our customers by name — they keep coming back.” Providing a quality product that’s going to look good even after a client goes home and dresses themselves is the principle that Barry’s stands on. “We’ve always been about quality products — quality fabrics and suits, sport coats and formalwear that are made well, so they fit well, naturally. Then, at the hands of highly skilled wardrobe consultants and tailors who fit a suit to a man’s individual body type, they can guarantee a suit that looks and feels good — and, of course, one that will never go out of style,” Zeeman added. “When a suit is classic, it can be versatile, too,” explained Zeeman. “With the right pieces, you can buy one suit and wear it four different ways.”

“We know that a suit is a big purchase for anyone, and so we want you to feel your best and get the best, whatever that means for you.” — Barry Zeeman Even if not trained in tailoring, staff members have still been around long enough to know what they’re doing. Boone Strickland was the first store manager Barry’s hired locally in the mid-1960s. He remained with the company for more than 50 years until his retirement. Clara Chambers started working for Barry’s in 1965 as an office manager, but found her calling on the sales floor once they landed in their current location, where you’ll still find her today. “I’ve worked for Barry, his father and his grandfather, and it’s always been a great company with great service and a quality product,” Chambers said of her 53 years with the company. “Not only have I been here for a long time, but I haven’t wanted to do anything else, or work with anyone else. The brand is so good, the way we do business is invaluable and I love that I
know our customers so well. Some of them have been with us for a really long time, too, and I know exactly what they like or what they need. That’s when you know you’re in a good place — when you’ve got a long list of loyal customers and new ones coming in.” More than 100 years in business translates to an impeccable selection at great prices. Barry’s has combined an elite class of customer service with enormous access to an unmatched quality product. “Being classic is what makes us unique,” said Zeeman. “We know that a suit is a big purchase for anyone, and so we want you to feel your best and get the best, whatever that means for you. Quality craftsmanship and nice fabrics are made to fit well, so looking great is automatic.” H

BRINGING LOCAL ART INTO THE HOME STORY BY AMBER TYNER

illing your home with local art is easier than ever before, especially for people in North Georgia. “It’s an amazing time we live in where original art is so accessible,” interior designer Maggie Griffin said. “Now, we don’t all have to have mass-produced art. We can have something that is original and handmade from someone right here.” Griffin, who owns Maggie Griffin Design in Gainesville, gave some tips for how to pick out the best local art for your home. “My advice is to shop before purchasing,” she said. “Take your time, and maybe visit multiple galleries or look online at inventory that gallery owners or art dealers may have so that you can better hone what it is you’re looking for.” Eventually you’ll come to know what you like, she said. “You’ll see what you’re drawn to and then you can start narrowing down what pieces best reflect the direction that you want to go.” And while you should definitely follow your own taste, the art you select should also depend on the current style of your house.

“When it comes to more traditional homes, it is a great balance to have a modern piece of art in a traditional setting,” she said. “It brings a very current look that’s very stylish and a bit more collected.” Abstract art is very popular, too. “My younger clients do lean toward more of a modern look, say an abstract or paper piece,” she said. “Depending on how that client’s furnishings are, we may do something like a modern floral versus antique reproduction botanicals.

We have beautiful abstract florals that we can do now that give us the best of both worlds.” But where exactly can you find local pieces of art like this? Galleries throughout the area — including the Caroline Nix Gallery in Griffin’s office — showcase and sell works by local artists, but you can also buy pieces in small stores and even restaurants. In Gainesville, for instance, Main Street Market has started to hang local art for sale on the walls and hallways of the building. “I think visually interesting art is the way to go,” said Arianne Hernandez, building manager at Main Street Market. “For homes, I know abstract art is great.” She said the store houses a lot of photography and graphic design by artists in the Gainesville area.

VISUAL ARTS CENTER GREEN STREET’S ‘HIDDEN GEM’ SHOWCASES ART, THRIVES ON OUTREACH

STORY BY J.K. DEVINE PHOTOS BY SCOTT ROGERS
N
o matter the circumstance, Amanda McClure is always a little surprised when she hears someone say they didn’t know about the Quinlan Visual Arts Center. “I’ve heard people say, ‘I’ve been here 15 years and I’ve never come into the building,’” said McClure, executive director of the Quinlan, which is located less than one mile from the downtown square. “We are in the middle of historic Green Street. We are the hidden gem.” Defined as a jewel or an item prized especially for great beauty, gem seems a fitting description of the Quinlan. It is a self-sufficient art gallery that offers quality art education opportunities for all ages and stages of artistic development, special events for the community, summer art camp programs for children and fine art exhibitions throughout the year featuring solo and group artists. A staple of the yearly exhibition is the Members’ Exhibition in the fall. In August, the exhibition will celebrate its 72nd anniversary and showcase hundreds of members from across the region. “It is our biggest and most varied and most fun event, because every member gets to submit a piece,” McClure said. And the Quinlan owes its birth to its members. The Quinlan initially was founded by nine people in December 1946 as the
Gainesville Arts Association. Four months later, they became a chartered group and started meeting in the old Castleberry home. The members met daily in the evening to paint. In November 1947, the art association held its first members’ show. From then on, the Members’ Exhibition has showcased all of its artists ranging from painters and sculptors to photographers and mixed-media artists. And that was only the beginning. As the art group grew, the members started to solicit professionals to exhibit their work in Gainesville. They also began teaching art classes. Other artists came to Hall County to lecture to the burgeoning art community. After 72 years, a name change and finding a permanent home at 514 Green St. N.E., the Quinlan is continuing to fulfill its mission of “Bringing visual arts to life, and to the life of the community.”
Quinlan Visual Arts Center Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays; closed Sundays Address: 514 Green St., Gainesville Phone number: 770-536-2575 Email: info@qvac.org Website: www.quinlanartscenter.org
Quinlan has nine workshops scheduled for 2019 along with 13 classes now enrolling students. Workshops range from still life and portraits to oils and pastels. Classes for beginners to advanced students include drawing, painting and photography, to name a few. The Quinlan also has developed programs for local children and senior citizens. For example, it has partnered with Boys and Girls Clubs of Lanier and The Guest House to provide opportunities for old and young to learn about art and practice it. “Our outreach programs are what I’m most proud of because they have grown most,” McClure said. “And if someone has an idea that might be a good fit, we have options to provide for them. If it’s education, we have portable art classes or we have our studio space here.” Developing, implementing and supporting all of the services the Quinlan offers is its 18-member board of directors. Handling the daily operations is McClure as executive director and Paula Lindner as assistant director. Together, they find the different artists and art groups to exhibit throughout the year. “We rotate them every six to eight weeks,” McClure said. “It keeps things here relevant, interesting and sellable.” This rotation allows the Quinlan to advocate for its artists. Through February 2019, the Eastern League of Professional

“...If someone has an idea that might be a good fit, we have options to provide for them. If it’s education, we have portable art classes or we have our studio space here.” — Amanda McClure Artists, John Guernsey, Marea Haslett and Hoschton Heritage Group are on display as part of Quinlan’s Winter Exhibition and receiving the benefits from it. “(The Quinlan) invited collectors to a pre-show for us,” said M. Camille Day, a founding member of the Eastern League of Professional Artists. “For any arts association to have the confidence to reach out to collectors and say come look at these, that’s pretty special.” The Quinlan’s commitment to regional artists is a bonus. “The Quinlan has brought such special artists into the area so the community can
enjoy works that they might not have the opportunity to see otherwise,” Day said. “And the Quinlan is an important part of the culture in Gainesville and surrounding area.” In order to provide such exhibits, the Quinlan funds its activities through multiple revenue avenues. They include membership, artist community, local and regional corporations and foundation support. It also holds fundraisers throughout the year including the annual Gala, which is the first exhibition and fundraiser of a new year. “It’s such a great way to kick off a new
year,” McClure said. A panel of artists, curators and collectors will review Gala 2019 submissions and accept 100 pieces for the auction. The deadline to participate in the auction is Feb. 18. “We only try to bring things here for the Gala that are exceptional,” McClure said. “It brings in people who may live a little further out. And it’s started to bring in collectors who are interested in starting their own collections.” All of this makes the Quinlan stand out as an unhidden gem of Gainesville. H

REGISTER NOW AND LEARN TO LOVE ART ALL SUMMER LONG STORY BY J.K. DEVINE
W
hile many summer activities center on outdoor activities such as swimming, playing sports and exploring nature, the Quinlan Visual Arts Center offers camps for budding artists. Every week in June and July, children from elementary to middle school may pick a week or two to participate in the various art-related activities. “Our art camp program is very popular. We are always at capacity,” Quinlan Executive Director Amanda McClure said. “It’s been going on so long that there are people who are sending their children here who went to summer camp here themselves.” The traditional art camp runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. It is geared for rising firstthrough fifth-graders, who are divided by grade level. Projects vary from week to week, with even and odd weeks having similar projects. If a child wants to attend two weeks, choosing an even and odd weekly session will assure different projects. Classes complete between five and 12 projects per session, depending on grade level. Weekly costs vary for Quinlan members and non-members. Discounts are available for a family membership. Parents may now register their children online through the Quinlan’s website, www.quinlanartscenter. org. Each year of the traditional camp has a theme. Previous themes have been “The Art of Illustration” or “Pop Art.” Last year’s theme was “Imagination Unleashed.” Participants focused on folk art, using unexpected materials such as glass, tin, carpet samples, homemade paint and recycled object to experiment and create. Children ranging from first- through fifth-graders are not the only ones who
experiment with art at Quinlan during the summer. The art center established a fairly new program for teenagers. “For years, we’ve been trying to figure out a camp for the in-between kids,” McClure said. “They are too old for the traditional art camp but too young to get summer jobs. Now we have a big kid camp.” Art Camp Level 2 is for children ages 13 and older, who learn more challenging and involved projects. They include mixed media, drawing, painting and building. Deemed “big kid camp” by McClure,
it isn’t the first new art camp the Quinlan started. A couple of years ago, the center launched a little Clay Camp for children ages 4 and younger. It is one day a week during the eight weeks of summer. “We use a combination of air-dry clay and other elements,” McClure said, explaining it is not enough time to turn around a traditional clay project. “We had to find new ways for them to get their hands dirty.” Now all children young and old can learn a little about art and take home a project just like any other art camp.

Rooster’s Perch stops and says hi to Shore as he works, smiles and chats with them as if they were all longtime friends — a bright, charismatic and spirited soul. A Gainesville native, Shore has created art for more than 19 years, both locally and abroad. After graduating from Piedmont College with a degree in studio art, he traveled all over the world, visiting more than 80 countries, until he decided to return to

hose who walk past the corner of Academy and Bradford streets in downtown Gainesville will notice something new on the side of Rooster’s Perch Coffee and Book Co. — two murals, one promoting Resource Brokers in sky-blue acrylic, and the other a black background with swooping white letters spelling CShore, the logo for local artist Chad Shore, his full name in glittering gold-speckled crimson lettering underneath. At first glance these murals may seem
solely commercial, but they are symbolic of something more important — the connection that artists have with their community, and how art helps cities grow. “When there’s an art scene in a city, it’s big and everybody comes out. You need a community of artists — everybody can feed off one another, and that’s a good thing,” Shore says. Shore loves to be out and about, even if it is painting murals on a chilly winter day, bundled up in layers of sweaters and coats. Every person who walks or drives by
“The city is still thriving, but we could really revitalize it, and I want to remind people that we are the Queen City.” — Chad Shore

noses — the recognizable traits — and leaving the lips. People started buying those pieces because it could be any woman, whoever they wanted it to be. It became more a piece of artwork than a depiction of someone doing something.” As for Shore’s future projects, he has a special mission in mind: to bring back Gainesville’s nickname of the Queen City of Georgia, a distinction oftentimes forgotten by its residents. “Atlanta, being the capital of Georgia, is the King City, but Gainesville was named the Queen City because it was an exciting place that drew in people from all over. Lake Lanier draws in 7 million people every year, and I’d love those people to know how awesome Gainesville is.” One can see Gainesville’s royal moniker in a few select places, such as on the street sign for Queen City Parkway and on manhole covers stamped with the honorary title. However, Shore plans to make the title even more prominent with murals displaying the lofty designation around Gainesville, encouraging people to “eat local, live local.” his hometown. When asked where his favorite places to travel have been, he says, “Anywhere by the beach” — apropos for a man who goes by CShore (seashore). “Everybody should travel and meet new cultures,” he says. “I feel like Gainesville needs to bring culture to the city; that brings different food, different arts, different music, and that’s what makes a city work. Doesn’t matter if the city is big or small, if you have that it brings people out. It makes the town feel good, look good and have fun.” Shore’s handiwork can be spotted elsewhere in Gainesville, including the mural on the outside of the Georgia Chair Factory, once a wooden furniture manufacturer, now an event venue. His art has been featured in various solo exhibitions and fashion shows in Atlanta and major cities across the country. From 2006 to 2012 he ran his own fashion line, Sixtus, and he still prints T-shirts, designs clothes and architects interior design. He currently works out of his art studio in Rabbittown, where he paints, sculpts, metalworks, pho24 | HOME | February 2019
tographs, graphic designs and creates in mixed media. He is also involved in Vision 2030 with the Quinlan Visual Arts Center to increase awareness in public art around Gainesville. Perhaps his most notable works are his pop-art pieces, which he started back in 2005, featuring black-and-white female forms accented by radiant red lips and brilliant blue backgrounds. “My Angel,” one of his most famous pieces, was selected as a design for the 1800 Tequila Essential Artists Series in 2010, chosen from 15,000 design entries in a nationwide competition. The facial ambiguity of his subjects — as one notices that eyes and noses are curiously absent — has an interesting psychological effect on the viewer: one can imagine just about anyone in the faceless forms, whether it be a celebrity, a friend or even oneself. “When I painted realistically, people weren’t interested because they didn’t want a picture of someone they didn’t recognize,” Shore says. “So I started painting in a pop-art style, taking out the eyes and

or those experiencing a touch of cabin fever thanks to the volatile ups and downs of this winter’s recent wacky weather, a routine trip to the grocery store isn’t going to quite cut it.

Farmers markets will come later, once spring has sprung, but what we’re suggesting is an actual farm market — the kind that features fresh fruits and vegetables in season, unique gifts, homemade pastries and ice cream, and even flea market style products like rocking chairs, bird houses and metal chicken sculptures. ABOVE: We may be in the middle of the winter season, but it is still possible to get fresh veggies, and the Tomato House Farms in Murrayville offers a wide selection not just from their own, but from other local farms. LEFT: As its namesake implies, at the Tomato House Farms you can purchase… well… fresh tomatoes.

These charming outlets proliferate in these parts and more are popping up all the time, but a couple fall into the “not to be missed” category, not only for their wide diversity of offerings, but because they’re open all year long. One of the luminaries in this genre is the highly recognizable Jaemor Farms, located along Ga. 365 in Alto, just north of Gainesville. The market on the hill is an
ideal stop for thousands of Gainesville-area day visitors and Atlanta and Florida travelers headed to Asheville-Gatlinburg-Highlands vacationland. Fruits and vegetables — some of which you can’t find in the grocery store — grace the shelves of Jaemor. Homemade cakes and fruit pies (they make 250,000 a year) are baked on site in a dedicated pie kitchen. Jaemor-produced ice cream is a favor-
ite any time the temperatures seem warm for a winter day and boiled peanuts are available any season. Judah Echols, in charge of boiled peanut production for decades, cooks about 22 tons of boiled peanuts per year. The smells of Jaemor are quite simply delectable and the flavors support the smells. While vegetables and fruits this time of year are mostly Florida-grown, Jaemor

maintains a dedication to all things homegrown, and is determined to procure produce locally when possible. Sourcing from Florida when possible, explains farm manager Drew Echols, results in a fresher product for Jaemor’s customers than produce shipped from California or Mexico. Winter in the farm market business is also time for evaluation and making plans. “Some of our best ideas to expand and grow the business come from hourlong conversations this time of year,” says Drew. “Like how to expand the U-Pick aspect of our business, and deciding that we need a new donut machine.”
One exciting piece of the Jaemor business has been the realization that the market is becoming social media, T-shirt and country music famous. “Country singers are wearing our Jaemor shirts in YouTube videos,” says Drew. “That’s pretty cool”. Close to North Georgia wine country and vacation getaways like Lake Burton, farm market Tomato House Farms is located on Ga. 52 about seven miles east of Dahlonega. During summer much of the fruit and produce shows up at the front door of Tomato House on local farmers’ trucks, with
commerce sometimes conducted right there in the store’s expansive parking lot. This time of year, owner Jeff Grindle sources from big markets in Atlanta and Asheville, N.C. — resulting in produce that’s still fresher than most you’ll find. Mike Byrd, a Tomato House butcher, says the business has become like a small supermarket for people in the region, with fresh fruits and vegetables, an extensive array of sauces, meat rubs, jams & jellies, a retro throwback candy aisle, and an impressive collection of local and regional wines and ciders. In addition, there is a prime cut butcher shop at the back of the

MAKING YOUR OWN
MASTERPIECES STORY BY AMBER TYNER
A
t Masterpiece Mixers Paint & Party Studio, amateur artists have a chance to get their creative juices flowing in a variety of classes and group parties. The studio attracts participants to instructive painting workshops in an enjoyable setting. “The most common phrase we hear when someone walks in the door for the first time is, ‘I can’t draw a stick figure,’” said Krista Goodrich, founder of Masterpiece Mixers. “And our answer is always, ‘Well good, because we’re not drawing stick figures today.’” She said the classes help people discover they don’t have to be “born artistic” to create something great. “Most of us are not born artistic,” she said. “I wasn’t born artistic — I became artistic by practice.”

All photos provided by Masterpiece Mixers Paint & Party Studio.
The studio has 15 locations throughout the Southeast United States, including one in Gainesville, to give people that kind of practice in a fun environment. Kacie Landers, a regular customer at Masterpiece Mixers, said taking classes at the studio was her first artistic endeavor. “I have no artistic abilities at all,” she said, mentioning that all of her paintings still turn out great. “It’s just a fun environment — a safe place where you can have fun, be creative and do something you don’t normally do.” Since the clientele are usually people who are inexperienced, instructors are at every event. “Ninety-nine percent of our people have not painted or picked up a paintbrush or done anything of the sort since grade
school,” Goodrich said. “But the whole way through, we’re walking them step by step. We’ll say, ‘Go 3 inches this way on the canvas’ and ‘Use the big brush and this color.’” Kerri Stidham, another regular customer, said she likes the help. “All of the instructors that I’ve had have been very helpful each time I’ve gone,” she said. “The paintings aren’t super hard. It’s just easy and fun.” Goodrich said the routine of every class is pretty similar, with each workshop lasting two to three hours. “The instructor will do her intro, and that’s where she introduces herself, talks about what they’re painting and kind of the process of the class,” she said. “And then we get started. We’ve got upbeat, fun music, and we start teaching the background.
“It’s just a fun environment — a safe place where you can have fun, be creative and do something you don’t normally do.” — Kacie Landers Once we finish the background, we’ll break and let everyone dry their background with blow dryers.” She said the group then plays a few games. “It varies based on the instructor which games,” she said. “They’re usually fun, silly games involving painting. Then we go back to painting and they finish their project. At the end, we do a big group picture.” And while the routine of each workshop might be similar, Masterpiece Mixers offers a variety of classes for those with different interests.

where it was just my husband and I with a bunch of people we didn’t know, and we’ve done it where we had a group date where several of us couples went. It’s something different to do with your spouse or boyfriend.” Goodrich also mentioned the company hosts several types of parties. “We do a significant amount of team building, kids’ and adults’ birthday parties, bachelorette parties, bridal showers and other group events, church events, sports teams and so on,” she said. But there’s more than just painting when you make a visit to Masterpiece Mixers. The studio in Gainesville is BYOB, so guests can bring their own alcoholic beverages as well as food. “Adults can bring beer and wine and then of course in any class people can bring soda, snacks, sweet tea — whatever they want to bring,” she said. Goodrich said a class or party at Masterpiece Mixers is something everyone can and should do. “You only live once, right?” she said. “It’s good to do something outside of your box.” H
“The guests can paint on canvas — that’s our primary component that we offer — but we also offer painting on wood cutouts, like wooden door hangers,” she said. “We offer do-it-yourself pallet workshops where people make pallet signs, and then we also offer wine glass decorating.” She said one of the most popular trends is the pallets. “When we do those workshops we actually start with raw wood, and they (the participants) sand it and they drill and they hammer it down and they use nails 32 | HOME | February 2019
and everything,” she said. “People walk out of there and they’re just amazed with what they created.” The studio also has several other specialty classes that draw some attention, including a Date Night. “You paint one canvas and your date paints the other,” Goodrich said. “When you put the two canvases together, they create one large masterpiece.” Landers said those classes are very fun. “They always turn out really cute,” she said about the projects. “We’ve done it

Sloan admits that the public nature of elected office was an adjustment. “Once your name is on the ballot ... all bets are off,” he said. “It took me a while to get used to that.” Sloan was elected in 2006. Sloan plans to continue his work at Chestnut Mountain Church, which has seen large growth in the last two years.

AROUND TOWN VETERAN REMEMBERED
Candice Easton, daughter of Cornelius Cornelssen VIII, hugs retired Maj. Gen. Marvin Back during a celebration of life for Cornelssen, a World War II veteran, at Flowery Branch Masonic Lodge 212 in December. “Ever since I stepped into my father’s life — remember, I was just this little girl, so I wasn’t somebody he told a whole lot of stories to — I realize every time my dad was with veterans or veterans are together, they have a certain, very strong, bond and camaraderie,” Easton said. “There’s a brotherhood, and it matters. They matter to each other,” said Easton. Cornelssen died Dec. 17 at age 93.
