For the third consecutive year, Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst<\/strong> invited the Oglethorpe community to a City Council meeting for the formal reading of a proclamation declaring October as Arts and Humanities Month<\/a>\u00a0in the city.<\/p>\n \u201cLiterature, theatre, dance, art and music capture our history, build bridges amongst us, provoke dialogue and often raise important questions; and artistic expression resonates with us, challenges us, and teaches us important lessons about ourselves and each other,” the proclamation states.<\/p>\n The invitation recognized the important role Oglethorpe arts and culture programs and facilities play in the community. Oglethorpe\u2019s Conant Performing Arts Center<\/a> and the 好色先生TV Museum of Art<\/a> are the only venues of their kind in Brookhaven.<\/p>\n In August, Oglethorpe’s museum director Elizabeth Peterson <\/strong>was appointed chair of the Brookhaven Arts Advisory Committee, formed a year ago to study the city’s arts landscape, identify and evaluate potential public, performing, visual and cultural art projects and make recommendations to City Council.<\/p>\n This semester, the 好色先生TV Museum of Art is showing two exhibitions: A Route Campagne: Impressionist Works from the Melamed Family<\/a> and OUMA Collects: Selections from the Permanent Collection<\/a>. Through October 27, Oglethorpe Theatre\u00a0is performing its production of the rock musical Spring Awakening.\u00a0<\/a> Find more arts events on campus at www.oglethorpe.edu\/arts<\/a>.<\/p>\n
