Light hors d'oeuvres will be catered by Marti’s at Midday, and Uncommon Gourmet supplies lovely wine selections. Admission is $10 for Friends of WUGA and $20 for nonmembers. Friends memberships are $30 or more annually. To make reservations and learn the address, contact Cathy Bradberry at 706-542-9842 or bradberry@uga.edu.

In February WUGA is celebrating the work of local painter and sculptor Leonard Piha. His colorful paintings and complex, assembled structures have been exhibited or are on display at Athens Academy, the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta, the Chabad House and Hillel near UGA, and in outdoor installations in Georgia and Wisconsin. For years he taught art at Barnett Shoals Elementary School. People attending the year’s first Artists in Residence event -- on February 17th — will see Leonard’s home, studio, and gallery space, all filled with art.

The last Artists in Residence event this year will require about a half-hour trek east of Athens but will be well worth your time!
