It's #DawgDayOfGiving at the #UniversityOfGeorgia. This annual fundraising campaign builds community as we all pull together to support students and focuses on the total number of gifts rather than the amount raised.

Want to learn more about how artists in Soviet Ukraine found a way to express themselves against the odds? We're hosting a symposium on Ukrainian art next week, inspired by our current exhibition of Soviet-era Ukrainian paintings. This collaborative program with the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia, is a great example of how classes in all areas can help us inform us about the world today. https://georgiamuseum.org/gmoa_blog/symposium-on-ukrainian-art-investigates-cultural-and-political-history/

Third Thursday is an Athens event run collaboratively by a bunch of art venues, encouraging people to go see some art on the Third Thursday of the month. For the next three, four of those venues, including ours, are letting visitors build their own art print by collecting one stamp at each venue. Layering all four stamps, each in a different color, will create a print inspired by old postcards that encouraged people to visit Athens. Should be fun!

When we think of Renaissance Europe, we mostly picture white people, but the real story was different. To illuminate this history, the Georgia Museum of Art will present a special screening of “We Were Here: The Untold History of Black Africans in Renaissance Europe.” This eye-opening documentary that sheds light on the overlooked and undervalued presence of Black Africans in 15th- and 16th-century Europe. https://georgiamuseum.org/gmoa_blog/uga-humanities-festival-screens-we-were-here-the-untold-history-of-black-africans-in-renaissance-europe/

President Jimmy Carter's death got us thinking about our museum's involvement in his election: a unique collection of contemporary art donated in his honor in 1976. But how did this come about? You'll have to read our blog post to find out more: https://georgiamuseum.org/gmoa_blog/looking-into-the-past-the-carter-collection/

Florence was incredibly important during the Renaissance in Italy, but what about the decades _after_ that? Our new exhibition, opening February 1, tackles that question, showing a variety of works from the Florentine baroque and investigating that era's themes and characteristics.

Kulik’s photograph documents postings she made on street locations throughout the US and Canada in March 1976. The text accompanying it acknowledges the futility of trying to contact the president-elect through such means but also serves as a way of expressing hope.

This work by Sharon Kulik was among them. Artists Les Levine and Dennis Oppenheim organized the gift. They said, “To us, Carter represents hope. A man from Plains wants to put America back to feeling good about itself and people back to feeling good about one another. . . . Instead of saying ‘What are these people going to do for us?’ We are saying, ‘. . . let’s all be open to the possibility of hope.’ The kind of art we make is open to new ideas; we use new materials and new approaches.”
