Spotlight on Art is in full swing

By Leisy Stevenson, Director of Spotlight on Art and Special Events

In the spring, we wrapped up an incredible Spotlight on Art season and 40th anniversary celebration. Thank you again to the more than 100 Trinity parents who helped make each event last school year such a success. Our volunteers’ hard work and the eagerness of our community to purchase original art after a one-year hiatus from our regular series of events resulted in a record-breaking $735,000 raised for Trinity School. We are extremely proud of the way Spotlight unites our community, especially after placing a hold on in-person events during the 2020–21 school year. We eagerly kicked off this year’s Spotlight on Art season with our annual Pop-Up Gallery at Neiman Marcus at Lenox Square, which ran from September 27–October 27. This month-long gallery featured the artwork of five preeminent contemporary artists: Shannon Coppage, Reagan Corbett, Emily Newman, Kristin Shearer, and Brook Soss. Their work features different textures and mediums, and the display included photography for the first time. The gallery concluded with An Evening with Neiman Marcus. Held at Neiman Marcus at Lenox Square, this annual event featured a runway show and a brief presentation on the latest fashion trends led by Neiman Marcus Public Relations Manager Rebecca Brodnan and artist Reagan Corbett. Attendees also enjoyed champagne and light bites while they viewed the Spotlight artwork displayed around the store. The Spotlight on Art season continued with the Pop-Up Shop during parentteacher conferences in early November. Open to current Trinity families only during conferences, the Pop-Up Shop featured jewelry, home décor, and other small gift items. New this year, we also included an evening Sip ‘n Shop event that was open to the public. The Pop-Up Shop is always a great time to purchase holiday gifts for family and friends. We are looking forward to the highly anticipated Artists Market that will take place Monday, January 30–Saturday, February 4, 2023. Welcoming thousands of attendees each year, the Artists Market introduces original work by the best emerging talent as well as new pieces by established artists. Inventory changes daily, so everyone is encouraged to stop by often. Also, mark your calendars for special events during the Market. Opening Night will be held on Monday, January 30, from 6–9 PM and Cocktails and Canvases will be held on Friday, February 3, from 6–9pm. Lastly, we will cap off the Spotlight on Art season with our annual Auction and Gala, which will be held at the Atlanta History Center on Saturday, February 25. Open to current Trinity parents, faculty, staff, Trustees, and Alumni Association Board members, the fun-filled evening will feature silent and live auctions, a seated dinner catered by Bold Catering and Design, and a DJ. This final celebration is a great way to bring the community together and raise a toast to another successful year. More details, including ticket information, will be sent to the Trinity community soon.
