 Cultural and Heritage Tourism Video Makes GCA 

 Website Debut 

 GCA Executive Director Susan Weiner  believes that “every arts

 organization in Georgia is a valuable steward of cultural and heritage

 tourism for the state.”  See how the Arts have generated revenue and

 reinvigorated Southern communities. The video is a great tool to

 emphasize the impact that the arts and culture can have on any

 community. View the video.

 Registry Offers New Opportunity for Georgia Writers

 GCA is pleased to announce the pilot phase of a new program: the

 Georgia Writer’s Registry, managed by the Center for Southern

 Literature. Eventually a GWR dedicated website will promote

 professionally acclaimed Georgia writers for the benefit of our

 students, teacher programs, and community events. It will also serve

 as a source of qualified authors for commissioned works.  For

 additional information, contact Literary Arts Program Manager,

 Debora Ott.  Visit the GWR website.

 GCA Welcomes Addition to the Staff   

 Susan Kinney has joined the GCA staff as Administrative Clerk.  As

 an established artist, musician and vocalist, she is an active

 participant within the local arts community.  In addition to interacting

 with clients, she will assist program staff with grant coordination,

 preparation for peer review panels and information management.
