!!ECHOES March 14 - May 9, 2025 Spalding Nix Fine Art is pleased to present ECHOES, four solo shows by Caroline Bullock, Sachi Rome, Lizzy Storm and Blair Hobbs. An echo reflects and reverberates from a source. It repeats, but is only reminiscent of the original, not an exact copy. It is transient, changing and intangible. The Artists in this show have created distinct bodies of work exploring themes akin to an echo. Inspired by the 13th century poet Rumi, Caroline Bullock’s “This Place is a Dream” ruminates on the transient and illusory nature of the physical world, creating imagined landscapes using cyanotypes, plants from her garden, paint, and paper. Exploring the layered histories of the South, Sachi Rome’s “Liminal Space,” is a series of abstract works that imagine in-between spaces as sites of possibility, inviting viewers to meditate on the thresholds between the tangible and intangible. Referencing images etched and painted on stone from the Paleolithic Era, Lizzy Storm’s series of earth pigment works on paper titled “lithomancy,” reflects on the traces of human intervention in the environment and our place in the worlds of Nature. Blair Hobbs’ latest series of narrative mixed media collages, “Birthday Cake For Flannery,” is a celebration of the life and writings of the renowned Georgia author, Flannery O’Connor, as well as a reckoning with Flannery’s complicated characters and Blair’s own journey. Opening Receptions: Friday, March 14, 6 - 8 p.m. and Saturday, March 15, 12 - 4 p.m.

The Hebrew Order of David announces the return of the “2023 Atlanta Kosher BBQ Festival” to Brook Run Park, 4770 North Peachtree Road, Dunwoody, GA, on Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Our Festival is centered around a Kosher BBQ competition where 21 teams will compete in KOSHER brisket, beef Ribs, chicken, and chili categories. We have a large Vendor Village, children’s activities, music, a silent auction, and of course, BBQ. Admission is free. BBQ Taste Tickets are $1.25 each and can be bought in advance online or onsite. Approximately 4,000 BBQ lovers and community supporters attended last year’s festival. Because we are fully compliant with the Atlanta Kashruth Commission’s Kosher food handling requirements, all spectrums of the Jewish community can participate, plus, because it is BBQ, the entire Atlanta community joins us as well. This ultimately makes us the most diverse attended food event in Georgia. You can support us by bidding on the fantastic items in our silent auction. Learn more about this unique BBQ Festival by viewing “No Pork on the Fork: A Kosher BBQ Story”. Proceeds from the Atlanta Kosher BBQ Festival over the past several years have benefited the following organizations: Jewish Education Loan Fund (JELF), Backpack Buddies, I Care Atlanta, Atlanta Israel Coalition (AIC), Cobb County Police K-9 Unit, Cobb County Sheriff’s Department and the Greater Atlanta Jewish Community.
