Atlanta, GA Nearly five years ago the Board of Directors at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center set ambitious goals for newly hired Executive Director, Peggy Still Johnson. Much to their surprise, Peggy would accomplish these goals in half the time they expected. Top on this list of priorities was to restore all seven of the buildings on the 12-acre campus to their past glory and, in doing so, expand the program offerings to better serve the diverse arts community in Greater Atlanta. At the time of Johnson’s arrival, only three buildings were being utilized for classes. On October 25th of this year, the Board’s ambitious goal was realized with the ribbon-cutting for the final restoration project at the estate, and for the first time in its history, Callanwolde is able to utilize the entire campus for arts education. Starting in 2014, Peggy helped lead a Capital Campaign, raising $2.1 million to restore these buildings for classes and workshops. The renovation project includes the Ruby Callaway Robinson GreenHouse, a state of the art […] Read more!

TV, Joelle admitted: “Mum told me to be professional at all times during filming as there were often people who kept walking into our video. “When we started to film me coming out the shop on Rodeo Drive I was gobsmacked that after the director shouted “action”, they breezed past me as if I wasn’t there. “I had to just carry on and walk out the shop as directed, but I shrugged my shoulders as I came out into shot as I knew they had already messed up that take and I would probably have to re-shoot it.” […] Read more!
