"Modern Art": For Atlantans Who CARE

Anyone who’s doubted Atlanta’s status as an international city should think again.
For a third year, the collaborative known as Modern Atlanta (MA) is hosting a string of events (May 12-17) to showcase all the elements of good taste gathered here.
For ’09, the theme is “Design is Human”.

Draw your own conclusions. And remember: your contributions go to CARE.
The high point of all the hoopla over Italian-inspired architecture, clothing, art and home décor will surely be the (Wednesday, May 13) runway show staged by the Jeffrey Atlanta boutique and The Atlantan magazine to showcase Marni’s spring/summer ’09 collection.
To err is “human”. To delve so courageously into color and pattern combinations the way Marni does in this “play it safe” economy is divine.

Guests at the (7:30-10 p.m.) gala taking place at the West Side’s White Provisions are encouraged to dress “arty”. Whatever that means. What matters is that your $20 donation to attend benefits worldwide efforts to feed and clothe children, empower impoverished women worldwide.
Capice?
