GMOA At Table
ATLANTA, Georgia, August 21, 2007 /Georgia Museum of Art/ -- On October 19-20, 2007 an exclusive group of designers will be invited to create table settings that showcase their talents in an unprecedented way — as part of an exhibition of design at the Georgia Museum of Art.
GMOA at Table is inspired by Frances Schultz, author and former host of Turner South's "Southern Living Presents." Ms. Schultz has contributed articles to many publications, including Town & Country and Veranda, and has written two books about Atlanta, Atlanta at Home and Atlanta at Table. As part of GMOA at Table, Ms. Schultz will host a lecture about decoration and design at 11 a.m. and will be available to sign copies of Atlanta at Table and A House in the South.
Vicente Wolf is one of the nation's most celebrated designers. Named one of of the most influential designers in the United States by House Beautiful and elected to Interior Design magazine's Designer Hall of Fame, Wolf is also an accomplished author. He will give a lecture at 2 p.m. and sign copies of Crossing Borders: A Global Vision of Design.
Several internationally known designers, including Carole Weaks, Ryan Gainey and Carolyn Tanner, will create table settings. Designers will have the rare opportunity to exhibit their tables within the galleries and event spaces of the Georgia Museum of Art.
The preview party on October 19 will feature a silent auction, where designers will be able to select items from their table designs to include in the auction. The exhibition will be open for public viewing throughout the day on October 20.
