Let's blanket the Downtown in White Lights this winter!

All you need to do is decorate your windows with white lights to show
the rest of the city that downtown is alive and bright! It can be simple candles, a string of lights, shiny snowflakes, or as creative as your electricity will allow!

Just get your lights up by November 30th so you can be part of the judging and keep them up through New Year's Eve for the Chick-fil-a Bowl! Cash prizes for the most creative window displays! Awards to be given at the ADNA Holiday Party at the Holiday Inn on Friday, Dec. 5th. You must be present to win!

Blinking Snowflake Icicle Lights will be available for purchase through ADNA for a $15.00 donation (quantities are limited.) Email Stuart Jackson at sjackson@tjgcpa.com for more information or to send a photo of your window for judging. Be sure to include your address. Judging will take place Thursday, Dec. 4th.

ADNA Sponsors a Holiday Shopping Night at VSA's Arts for All Gallery Dec. 9

Do your Holiday shopping downtown, visit with your ADNA friends and support the arts and disabled artists - all at the same time! The board of ADNA is inviting you to "shop for a cause" on Tuesday, December 9, from 6-9pm. Complimentary light refreshments and wine will be provided by ADNA. In keeping with VSA Arts of Georgia's vision of a world in which the arts are accessible to all, this year's holiday art sale includes work by dozens of area artists, with and without disabilities. Proceeds from this sale benefit the participating artists and VSA arts of Georgia, a nonprofit organization with a thirty-year history of providing access to arts and cultural events and programs to more than 100,000 Georgians with disabilities and low incomes each year. This year's exciting selection includes hand stitched books, decorative boxes, ornaments, paintings, origami, jewelry, textiles, blown and stained glass from across the state of Georgia and beyond.

Arts for All Gallery is located in the historic Healey Building at 57 Forsyth Street, NW, in Downtown Atlanta.
