Arts Center to hold Construction Viewing Party Saturday– and you’re invited!
Art lovers rejoice!– After closing her art gallery during the economic downturn, Fay Gold, a legend in the city’s art community since 1980, is back and better then ever.
Taking space across from Miller Union at 997 Brady Avenue, Gold will act as gallery director and curator for the Westside Cultural Arts Center, according to Nicholas Miller, the center’s marketing and media liaison.
The 12,500-square-foot center will offer more than 9,000 square feet of dedicated gallery and event space, Miller told What Now Atlanta in an email Wednesday.
James L. Chappuis, Atlanta spine surgeon, founded the Westside Cultural Arts Center, which is planned to open this Fall.
“We want to push into new territories and blur the distinction between art and life,” Miller said. “Art is not just for art’s sake but for people to influence people. That is the vision for the Westside Cultural Arts Center.”
To celebrate announcing the new art center, a “construction party” will be held on Saturday, May 21 from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. This event is an opportunity to preview the building that will be renovated into an exciting new cultural concept.
Artists’ work on exhibit during the event will include Anthony Liggins, Cynthia Knapp, Gregor Turk, Gail Foster, Zoe Hersey, Michael Barringer, Joyce Tenneson, and Rana Rochat.
Cajun cuisine will be served at the event by Chef Kern Chiasson, with music and entertainment by blues artist, Lil’ G Weevil.

This is the kind of news I love to hear about! More art less burgers!
This is good news. Countdown to higher rents and higher sales PSF in the Westside. That’s a hot little area!
Indication of economy coming back?
Sure “cp”. Given you’re ignorant. Sorry, it is four months late- I’m more than Sure that you have shown up on MORE than Saturday’s and at any said time since. At this time, I can only hope that you are in control and well aware of what’s occurring- CHAPPUIS is a narcissist (which envelops sociopath)- but I’m sure you know by now to let Suna Anne Erbil ‘massage’ it out of him as he manipulates (and laughs at an an old lady)- Fay Gold—as he sat at SEDER (at Fay’s home)- and carefully constructed how he would milk her for millions/ with Anthony leggings, Jenny something, and Bill Arnett. I was afforded to the Macabre details shortly after- like 10:40pm—–CP, I wish I’d listened when I was warned- at least 40 times
And Fay, you’re contract with Jim is not the most important thing being played (considering, I know what Jim know’s- ask dr robin fowler/ his non renewable lease should be coming up quite soon/ which he (robin) paid build out cost on) are OLD/OUT(now) AND ONLY GOOD FOR WHAT YOU ARE GOOD FOR)- JIM is more than “ENTHUSED” to involve your daughter. I think your “need for self expression that allowed a chevy hood to DISPLAY a plethora or dildos” just might have struck a sick note in the good doctor’s mind. I expected better from YOU. I suppose manipulation knows no boundaries either
