With the development of blogs, Facebook, and Twitter, people are recording information at an extremely rapid pace, and the cell phone is the primary tool for approaching life with such immediacy. Combined with the power of the cell phone's instant abilities, this project, co-produced by Christian Bradley-West and Susan Todd-Raque, gives a forum for artists to speak visually in a way people have never been able to do so until now. The artistic process for these living diaries began in June 2009 and continued for 8 weeks. Participating artists are from across the U.S. and Europe.

ACP 11 Spotlight on Local Talent Presents Beth Lilly

Featuring work by: Beth Lilly

Artist Lecture: Wed, Oct 21, 6:30pm - 8pm

ACP's Public Art Project "Gifted" will engage the public and transform Atlanta through the gift of 1,200 limited-edition, fine art photographs which will be distributed for free to the public during the month of October. Beth Lilly, the project's curator and organizer will discuss the project "Gifted", and how this project is infusing Atlanta with photography in an exciting, unpredictable way that directly impacts Atlantans within the flow of their daily lives. Lilly will discuss how exchange promotes local photographers while encouraging a rich dialogue about the act of giving valuable art for free as well as an oblique commentary on the current economy.

Beth will be joined by some of Gifted's participating photographers in this discussion:
Corinne Adams
David Walter Banks
William Boling
John Bohannon
Christian Bradley West
Diane Kirkland
Kathryn Kolb
Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier
Pam Moxley
Laura Noel
Dorothy O' Connor
Michael West

This event is free and open to the public.
