SUMMARY:Spruill Center For The Arts Presents Homecoming By Ilona Cutts
DESCRIPTION:Finnish-born artist\, Ilona Cutts exhibits her new series of paintings\, HOMECOMING. Having spent much of her life as a nomad\, moving from country to country\, Cutts has been searching for Home most of her life. She has the eye of a wanderer\, like a plant without roots. It is this rootlessness that has formed her artistic style where a myriad of cultures can be seen in her fantastical figures and dreamlike landscapes. After recently becoming a US Citizen\, Cutts has begun to put down roots and discover the elusive feeling of Home. In her new body of work\, HOMECOMING\, Cutts explores this idea of Home and what it means to her and others. \nOPENING RECEPTION: Thursday\, January 20\, 6-9 pm\nARTIST TALK: Saturday\, February 5\, 2 pm \nAbout the Artist\nIlona Cutts \nIlona Cutts (born Sampovaara) studied Fine Arts at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design. In 1995 she received her BFA in painting from Kankaanpää Art College\, in Finland. Ilona’s paintings have been exhibited internationally in numerous solo and group Shows. She has exhibited in Finland\, Mexico\, the USA\, France and Spain. Her work can be found in important collections such as the Oulu Museum of Modern Art in Oulu\, Finland. Her latest group show in Finland was at SINKKA\, Contemporary Art Museum of Kerava in Finland\, and participated in 2 group shows at Stone Sparrow Gallery in New York City in 2020. \nBorn to a diplomatic family\, her family continuously moved from country to country since her birth in 1972. She lived in Argentina\, Poland\, the U.K\, Mexico and Spain. She spent 21yrs in Mexico which deeply impacted her being and the art she makes. \nAs her family was continually moving from country to country as a child\, Ilona often felt alone as she had to say goodbye to her friends. So as not to feel lonely she began drawing at a very early age and found solice in the creatures she painted. \nIlona and her Mother have a very special bond. Her Mother collected Art and antiques and encouraged Ilona to see beauty all around observing nature and animals. Surrounded by art and antiques Ilona had the chance to observe and study art in many forms. Her Mother crossed over to the Other Side in 2016\, their special bond continues. \nIlona’s paintings center on anthropomorphic creatures or girl like figures\, surrounded by nature or objects of obscure symbolic and ethereal meaning. Her narrative storytelling is both cute and cruel\, at times disclosing her own personal views on the delicate relationship between man and spirit nature. \nCurrently Ilona is working on a new body of work for upcoming exhibitions\, she also teaches oil painting and mentors other artists who are interested in pursuing a career in painting. \nIlona moved to the US in 2016. She and her husband John\, their Shar-Pei\, Liisa Lightray and their cat\, Frida Katlo all live in Atlanta in a romantic white house. \nDaily Parking\nThe parking entrance is located on Meadow Lane. Turn right after entering the complex. Marked parking spots are located on the right\, near the gallery’s garden. Spaces on the left are first come first serve.

Switzerland is a democratic country subscribing to the fundamental ideals with which the United States also identifies. The country is politically stable with a strong and resilient economy. It has played an increasingly important role in supporting the spread of democratic institutions and values worldwide\, as well as providing humanitarian relief and economic development assistance. U.S. policy toward Switzerland takes these factors into account and seeks to cooperate with Switzerland to the extent consistent with Swiss neutrality. Switzerland has represented the United States in Iran as our Protecting Power since 1980\, where it provides assistance to U.S. citizens in Iran. \nThe United States and Switzerland have signed a number of agreements creating mechanisms that deepen cooperation and improve the relationship: the Enhanced Political Cooperation Framework\, the Trade and Investment Cooperation Forum\, a Memorandum of Understanding on Apprenticeships and Workforce Development\, and the revised Operative Working Arrangement on Law Enforcement Cooperation on Counterterrorism. The centerpiece of the Enhanced Political Cooperation Framework is an annual senior-level meeting\, the Joint Working Group. Another vehicle for bilateral cooperation is the U.S.-Swiss Joint Economic Commission\, which covers anti-money laundering efforts\, counterterrorism\, regulatory cooperation\, and intellectual property rights\, among other topics. \nBelgium is also a key provider of humanitarian\, reconstruction\, and development assistance to Afghanistan\, Iraq\, and Syria\, as well as many countries in Africa. As the host country of the EU and NATO headquarters\, Belgium plays an important role in European and Transatlantic diplomacy. \nCo-host and Sponsor \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nStrategic Partners:\nSam Nunn School of International Affairs\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCancellation Policy:\nIf you need to cancel\, please do so no later than 48 hours before the event.

SUMMARY:Is the European Union Disunited By Diversity?
DESCRIPTION:The European Union appears at a crossroads\, struggling with its identity. Outwardly\, a monolithic giant to be dealt with. Inwardly\, at war with itself. Where is it going? \nSpeaker: Dr. Alasdair Young\, Professor & Neal Family Chair\, Sam Nunn School of International Affairs\, Georgia Tech University \nSpeaker\n \nDr. Alasdair Young\, Professor & Neal Family Chair\, Sam Nunn School of International Affairs\, Georgia Tech University \nAlasdair Young is Professor and Neal Family Chair. He co-directs the Center for European and Transatlantic Studies\, a Jean Monnet Center of Excellence\, and the Center for International Strategy\, Technology\, and Policy. He held a Jean Monnet Chair (2012-15) and received the Ivan Allen College’s Distinguished Researcher Award in 2015. Beyond Georgia Tech\, he is co-editor of JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies and was chair of the European Union Studies Association (USA) (2015-17). Before joining Georgia Tech in 2011 he taught at the University of Glasgow in the UK for 10 years. Prior to that\, he held research posts at the European University Institute in Florence\, Italy\, and the University of Sussex\, outside Brighton in the UK. \nAlasdair has written five books\, including Supplying Compliance with Trade Rules: Explaining the EU’s Responses to Adverse WTO Rulings (Oxford University Press\, 2021). He has edited 15 other volumes\, including the eighth edition of Policy-Making in the European Union with Mark Pollack\, Christilla Roederer-Rynning\, and Helen Wallace (Oxford University Press\, 2020). He has published almost a score of refereed journal articles — including in Global Environmental Politics\, the Journal of Common Market Studies\, the Journal of European Public Policy\, the Review of International Political Economy\, and World Politics — and written more than 40 book chapters. He has performed consultancy work for the US and UK governments and for the European Commission. \nAbout the European Union\nThe European Union (EU) is a unique economic and political union between 27 European countries. The predecessor of the EU was created in the aftermath of the Second World War. The first steps were to foster economic cooperation: the idea being that countries that trade with one another become economically interdependent and so more likely to avoid conflict. The result was the European Economic Community\, created in 1958 with the initial aim of increasing economic cooperation between six countries: Belgium\, Germany\, France\, Italy\, Luxembourg\, and the Netherlands. \nSince then\, 22 more countries joined (and the United Kingdom left the EU in 2020) and a huge single market has been created and continues to develop towards its full potential. What began as a purely economic union has evolved into an organization spanning many different policy areas\, from climate\, environment\, and health to external relations and security\, justice\, and migration. \nCancellation Policy: If you need to cancel\, please do so no later than 48 hours before the event. ACIR is charged for your meal\, so no refund can be provided after that.
