SUMMARY:2nd Annual Georgia Cities Week Postcard Design Contest - City of Gainesville Public Relations
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Georgia Cities Week April 20-25\, sponsored by the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA)\, the City of Gainesville is starting the fun early by opening its second annual Georgia Cities Week Postcard Design Contest to children and teens ages 5-17. The winning design\, which should represent Gainesville\, will be used as an official City of Gainesville postcard distributed to the public at City events and via the Gainesville Welcome Center. \nTo help get the creative juices flowing\, GMA has announced the 2026 Georgia Cities Week theme is “Love Your City”. The statewide event invites residents to celebrate their city governments\, community achievements and the essential services cities provide every day. \nThe contest is FREE to enter and\, in addition to having their art “travel” around the world\, the first-place winner will also receive a $30 voucher to Kilwins Gainesville and a certificate of achievement! \nTo enter\, simply grab any 4-inch-by-6-inch piece of paper. Designs may be vertical or horizontal. Make it your finest work of art yet and be sure to include your full name (first and last)\, age\, grade and telephone number with the submission. Artists must be residents of Gainesville-Hall County. The winner will be announced and the postcards released during Georgia Cities Week\, so entries must be received by no later than 5 p.m. Wednesday\, April 1. This will give City staff enough time to appropriately judge all entries\, then have the top design printed. \nEntries may be dropped off in person any time from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday at the Gainesville Welcome Center in suite 100 of the Gainesville Administration Building\, located at 300 Henry Ward Way\, Gainesville; mailed to the Gainesville Public Relations Department\, attn: Public Relations Director Christina Santee-Moss\, P.O.

SUMMARY:Expressive Art as Therapy: Grief and Loss with Dawn Columbo - Quinlan Visual Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:The arts can be supportive when experiencing grief and loss. Grief can be the end of a relationship\, and/or the loss of a loved one. The act of creating something tangible can serve as a form of expression and allow your thoughts and feelings to guide and move you through the journey. \nYou can create your own art through monthly sessions. You can work at your own pace with at least 3 options available. The art materials/examples will be provided. \n​No prior art experience is necessary. No pressure to talk. Just be present\, and allow the process of creative writing\, collage\, painting\, and other art forms be a catalyst for self-care. \nMembers: $40\, Non-members: $65

SUMMARY:The Play That Goes Wrong - Brenau University
DESCRIPTION:It’s opening night at the Cornley Drama Society\, and everything that could possibly go wrong—does! The set’s collapsing\, the actors are forgetting lines (or repeating them)\, and the corpse won’t stay still. This madcap comedy is a love letter to the chaos of live theatre\, where disaster becomes delight and failure is fabulously funny. Expect pratfalls\, missed cues\, and non-stop laughs in this Olivier Award-winning global sensation.
