Thank you Becky Raffalovich for your relentless efforts to make sure Atlanta has the opportunity to see the incredible high school art chosen for the 2020 AHSAE in the Dogwood Festival.
And thank you Howard Krinsky of Binders Art Supplies and Frames for helping us secure this amazing space.
When Jeff Mather brought the idea to Grady High School's John Brandhorst, senior Perrin Turner (2009) spread the word to his peers and Brandhorst got the ball rolling. The Art Throwdown brings students from high schools across Atlanta to engage in a different kind of art competition. The next Throwdown happens outdoors, in front of the AHSAE in the Dogwood Festival.
"The idea is to bring high school artists together and really provide a live experience with visual art where friends, family, and the larger community can get a closer look at the creative process. Participating high school artists also get hands-on experience geared towards the next level of artistic expression and learning, whether that means attending college or working in a professional environment." --Perrin Turner (2009)
Email John Brandhorst, Throwdown coordinator, to get your school's name on the list:

The opening of the month-long AHSAE mini show was a huge success drawing a large crowd of displaying artists, parents and family, teachers and several festival board members. Pictured here are AHSAE Director Becky Raffalovich, the artists, teachers and board. This show can be viewed through April 5 in the Janet S. Day Gallery, lobby floor of the Art Institute of Atlanta, Dunwoody campus.
