ColleCtors eveningMore than 200 guests supported the acquisition of three new artworks for the High Museum of Art at the Collectors Evening at The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead. The acquired works include Atlanta artist Donald Locke’s painting Conspiracy of Icons #1 (1991); Minotaurus (2015), an 8-foot-tall bronze sculpture by South African artist Nandipha Mntambo; and a group of 24 quilts by early 20th-century Southern African-American quilters.
With the green carpet rolled out to welcome a star-studded roster of eco heros, from actor Mark Ruffalo and photographer Joel Sartore to media mogul Ted Turner and actress Jane Fonda, the Captain Planet Foundation’s annual Benefit Gala at the InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta delivered a dazzling night of entertainment. One of the Southeast’s largest eco-benefits, the event recognizes extraordinary environmental stewardship, while raising funds to support CPF’s environmental education projects in K-12 schools in all 50 states and 26 countries. Gala co-chairs were Cara Isdell Lee, Kiki Goshay and Susan Van Liere.
