Happy 213th Birthday Edgar Allan Poe! We wouldn’t live up to our blog name if we didn’t celebrate the master of the macabre. In a normal – non-pandemic – year, I’d fly up to the Poe Museum in Richmond and attend the all-day birthday bash they hold for this special occasion. 12 hours on a Saturday of tours, lectures, bands, and performers, and even a giant birthday cake. It is a lot of fun and meaningful for a dedicated Poe fan or one who wants to learn more about him. Due to the ongoing health crisis in the world, the museums had to adapt and move to virtual activities. The kick-off to the celebrations is a live toast on the Poe Museum’s Facebook page on Wednesday, January 19th, from 8 – 9:00 PM. Don’t miss it! Below is the schedule of virtual tours for you to check out. 1,000 Ways…

I am a little late in telling you about a fabulous festival that’s held every year in Atlanta where the arts community showcases the power of photography in our lives. The month of October in Atlanta has an exciting event known as the Atlanta Celebrates Photography Festival (ACPFest). Artists from around the southeast contribute work that’s displayed in exhibitions held just about anywhere around town. Georgia State University, the Atlanta Photography Group Gallery, the heart of Midtown with a mural, art galleries, public art spaces, libraries, shop windows – so many shows to see. One recent fun event happened when the Little 5 Points neighborhood hosted their 3rd annual L5Hallowine Photo Crawl on October 6th where attendees sampled treats while they strolled around and viewed photography displayed in store…
