Hey You #teamsiegmund

SEE YOU SOON!!

Come over to Athentic Saturday to see our next artist's art for auction. Joanie Williams was born in Manchester, England and received formal art training at English universities. She was recruited by the American carpet industry after finishing a degree in textile design, and received the “Young Designer of the Year” award from the British Prime Minister at the time, John Major. After several years as a successful textile designer Joanie redirected her skills following a family relocation, and became a watercolor artist, accepting commissions and selling her work in art galleries in Macon, Rome and Athens Ga.

Our annual Hey You Hoe Down is our primary fundraiser for the Carrie Fischer Siegmund Grant for Classroom Innovation, established in 2021 by Carrie's loving family, friends, and colleagues after losing Carrie, a gifted educator and innovator to brain cancer. The fund was created to continue Carrie's passion and work toward innovative public school classroom experiences that inspire through innovative, interdisciplinary, and meaningful learning that results in a long-lasting impact on students.

Our next artist in the spotlight with a piece up for auction is Dan Smith. Dan's art is tied to a personal, hierologlyphical, mythological, pseudo-historical account of his becoming an artist-teacher-skateboarder-punk rocker-father-etc. He approaches varied spaces (quadrants, strips, stripes, etc.) through the process of spontaneous monsterfication, where spaces are enhanced through the application of monsterfied space. Dan is intrigued by the quests we take in our lives and has found Moby Dick as an archetypal vision of questing.

Stay tuned for more pictures of the art you can purchase to benefit the Carrie Fischer Siegmund Grant for Classroom Innovation.

Generously donated by Carrie and Dana’s close friend Bryan Moore, this is an original Wes Freed poster for the Drive By Truckers’ annual Homecoming show at the 40 Watt club from 2013. It’s signed by band members Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley, Brad Morgan, Jay Gonzalez and Matt Patton. ‘Years ago, at another fundraiser auction, Carrie and I were battling one another for this item, which Carrie eventually won. When visiting her and Dana’s, I would good-naturedly poke fun about her “stealing” it. Recently, Dana gifted me this print, given my history with it. Moreover, it was given to me at a reunion of former Cedar teachers who were all part of the same tight group that knew Carrie, making it even more meaningful. As special as this is to me, it occurred to me last weekend that donating it to the auction would be a great full circle moment, so with Dana’s blessing, here it is again to help others in need.’ “If the recently departed make the sunsets To say farewell to the ones they left behind There were technicolor hues to see our sadness through As the Sun over Athens said goodbye” “Grand Canyon” - Drive By Truckers.
