New Salon Series Showcases Tech's Artsy Side

Posted by Admin On 2:14:00 PM
A new salon series showcases Tech's artsy side--check out this project! An HTS student is currently interning at the Millennium Gate Museum and is assisting in this project.

A new lunchtime speaker series, the Arts@Tech Salon Series, featuring a range of arts-related topics started yesterday with a discussion of Winston Churchill’s passion for painting and the role it played in his life.

Duncan Sandys, Churchill’s great-grandson talked about the exhibition of paintings by Churchill at the Millennium Gate Museum at Atlantic Station.

A major goal for the Arts@Tech Salon Series is to grow interest in the arts among Tech students in particular, but also among faculty and staff, according to Travis Denton, curator of the series and McEver Chair in Poetry.

“It’s also important that a higher profile series, such as this, demonstrates to those in the community at large — Atlanta and beyond — that Tech does have an ‘artsy’ side,” Denton said.
