A great show of artists and supporters, however one must ask where the Atlanta arts ‘leadership’ were – many organizations had a staff level presence, but not an artistic director from any of the ‘major’ organizations in town were present. While the dollars at stake were relatively small, the symbolism and impact on Atlanta’s reputation in the nation are significant – One must ask why there is no sense of combined, visibly engaged artistic leadership in the city?
