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. Overflow parking is available on terraced levels below the gallery. \nContact gallery@spruillarts.org with inquiries.

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:Angélique Kidjo - A Rialto Series Performance
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss Angélique Kidjo when she returns to the Rialto Center for the first time in over a decade! \nAngélique Kidjo is among the most iconic and respected artists in international music today. “Kidjo’s reinterpretations rearrange the molecules of songs that many of us know by heart\, says NPR\, the results are glorious.” \nWidely recognized as the “Queen of African Music\,” she has collaborated with everyone from Alicia Keys to Bono to Philip Glass. In addition to winning four Grammy Awards for her masterful vocal prowess and innovative explorations of cross-cultural musical genres\, she has also proven a tireless advocate for women and children in her native home of Benin and across Africa\, serving as both an OXFAM and UNICEF goodwill ambassador. As the New York Times put it\, “She sings as the conscience of a community.” \nIn January of 2020\, Kidjo received the Grammy Award for “Best World Music Album” for CELIA\, a captivating investigation into the African roots of Cuban salsa legend Celia Cruz. The opportunity to see an international star of Kidjo’s magnitude in the intimate setting of the Rialto comes only\, in the words of her critically acclaimed tribute to the Talking Heads\, “Once in a Lifetime.” \nSecure your ticket today. Complimentary parking is included with this Rialto Series performance.
