Reminders & Tips for New Year's Eve

As we countdown to 2012 and you make your way to midtown this evening, please keep these tips and suggestions in mind:

  • Parking on Myrtle will be fairly open, as usual, but please do NOT leave valuables in your car. If you want to leave something in the house, bring it with you.

  • If you have a long way to walk home, do not do it alone. Ask someone to accompany you to your car, too, if it is too far away from the house.

  • The Governor’s (Ga.) Office of Highway Safety has issued a phone app, available for both Android and iPhones, called “Drive Sober, Georgia” - on which you can order a free taxi ride home. Definitely use this option if you’ve had too many. (HT to Dennis White on the suggestion.) Those of you not in the city of Atlanta, and who don’t live in NYC where cabs are ubiquitous, your state may have a similar program.

  • Finally, crime is a reality here in the city. Be aware of your surroundings and make sure to walk in groups.

We want to make sure you get here and get home safely. See you soon!

As we close out the 2011 year in sales tomorrow night, we welcome back Baraonda as official ARTvision sponsor. They have again agreed to donate all the dough for The NYE Gourmet Pizza Extravaganza. As you enjoy pies like “Closed on Sundays” and “The Vampire Diaries,” remember that the dough on which the pizzas are baked are fully donated for the event on New Year’s Eve - as we try and sell our last remaining pieces of the 2011 season to benefit Positive Impact.

SOLD! "Nomad" by Will Pollock

Thanks to Julie Boyer for the donation and purchase of “Nomad” by Will Pollock. This hawk came to visit the Stapletons on Myrtle Street and Will ran out in his skivvies to take the picture. This is one of three pictures he was able to snap before the hawk flew away.

Spotlight: Vibecke Dahle's Panama "Memories"

Choreographer and dancer extraordinaire Vibecke Dahle returns to ARTvision with “Memories,” a photo output to canvas. The subject, Carmen, lived a very active life near water and had a strong reaction when shells were gifted to her that came from a beach she could no longer visit.

“The image for me shows a contrast of time,” Vibecke says. “Carmen’s older sister was picking shells for her from the beach because Carmen can't walk much anymore. Carmen treated them like a treasure.” (

Memories” is being offered for $100 in ARTvision’s Extended December Sales Program - starting this weekend. Reserve this piece today!
