Exploring the intersection of art, history, performance and technology, ATHICA and The Georgia Virtual History Project present an exhibition highlighting Athens’ public history and rich cultural past. With the help of UGA, Athens Academy students and GVHP’s virtual technology, co-curators Hope Hilton and Christopher Lawton aim to bridge Athens’ past to its present. The exhibit centers on the works of artists Katie Gregg and Cynthia Lollis, with collaborative pieces created by 40 contributors and additional research conducted by another 10. “Seen/Unseen” marks the last exhibit curated by ATHICA’s current gallery manager Hope Hilton, who will move on to a new position at textiles company Hable Construction. During her term, Hilton has curated several thought-provoking exhibitions, strengthened community relationships and implemented strategic long-term plans, leaving the gallery in a healthy position for the next manager to take the reins. The opening reception is from 6–8 p.m. Donations are accepted. Come out to congratulate and thank her!
