\n\nNamari Dance Center’s professional artists and students present \"IMANI\"
\n\n\"IMANI\" — the Swahili word for faith — is a powerful and emotionally charged production that tells the story of how the spiritual faith of enslaved Africans sustained them through bondage and ultimately carried them into the joy of freedom on June 19, 1865. Through a blend of three dynamic dance pieces, two vocalists, a live painter whose work evolves throughout the show, a stirring choir, and a powerful spoken word poet, the production takes the audience on a journey from the darkness of enslavement to the celebration of freedom.
\n\nThe faith that gives strength in bondage becomes the foundation for joy and celebration when freedom finally arrives. \"IMANI\" honors the resilience, strength, and unity that made freedom possible and reflects how that faith continues to uplift future generations.

Billy Ocean is the biggest Black recording star Great Britain has ever produced, having sold over 30 million records to date. He has collected a pile of gold and platinum records across the world and hit the No. 1 spot worldwide in the pop charts many times, achieving success as both an artist and a songwriter.

\n\n\n\n\nBIO: Born in Trinidad, Billy was a calypso-crazy kid in the East End of London who got turned on to soul singers like Otis Redding and Sam Cooke, as well as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. He got his first break at GTO records, for whom his second single was the Motown-ish \"Love Really Hurts Without You,\" which reached No. 2 in the U.K. charts and No. 12 in the U.S. Two top twenty singles followed: \"Love on Delivery\" and \"Stop Me,\" then \"Red Light Spells Danger\" became a smash in both the U.K. and the U.S.
\n\nBilly's move to Jive Records brought instant success, with the double-platinum album Suddenly, including the million-selling American number one single \"Caribbean Queen\" (for which Billy won a GRAMMY for Best R&B Vocal), followed by \"Loverboy\" and \"Suddenly,\" which became the first of Billy’s killer ballads. He also performed on the American half of Live Aid, making 1985 a truly incredible year for him.
\n\nBilly opened 1986 with \"When the Going Gets Tough (The Tough Get Going),\" the theme song from the movie Jewel of the Nile. Billy then launched the
\nLove Zone album, which produced the U.S. No. 1 single \"There’ll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)\" and the now-classic \"Get Outta My Dreams; Get Into My Car.\"
Billy proved himself to be one of the most hardworking artists on the live stage, touring the world to ever-growing audiences. After huge successes and years of touring, Billy took a break, and in 2007, decided to get back out on the road, this time with his daughter Cherie on backing vocals. They toured the U.K., Europe, U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and the Caribbean.
\n
\n2008 saw Billy back in the studio, recording Because I Love You, released in 2009 and then touring with the release of The Very Best of Billy Ocean, which sold 72,000 copies in 4 weeks.
In 2018 Billy played a sold-out Royal Albert Hall, which he felt was a real landmark. Billy continues to play shows around the world, with his legacy hits and his latest album, One World.

GRAMMY©-nominated artists Samantha Fish and Tab Benoit merge their tours for a night of rock and blues. Samantha Fish brings her Paper Doll Tour, along with Tab Benoit on his I Hear Thunder Tour.
\n\nSamantha Fish is one of the most formidable guitarists of her generation. In her own unmatched brand of bravado, she brings both mind-blowing power and extraordinary emotionality to everything she creates. Since first introducing the world to her larger-than-life talent, the multi-award-winning festival headliner has built a triumphant career whose latest milestones include earning a GRAMMY© nomination for Death Wish Blues (her 2023 collaboration with rocker Jesse Dayton) and opening for The Rolling Stones on their final 2024 U.S. tour date.
\n\nOn her new album Paper Doll, Fish offers up nine powerhouse songs that hit with an unstoppable force, each delivered with an exquisite dose of illuminating insight, soul-soothing empathy, and—above all—newly heightened clarity of vision. “It’s taken me years to finally find my voice in a studio setting,” Fish admits. “But with this record I took everything I had and slammed it right on the table.”
\n\nA four-time GRAMMY©-nominated singer, songwriter and guitarist, Tab Benoit has spent more than three decades at the forefront of Delta swamp blues. Known for his raw vocals and soulful guitar work, he has earned five Blues Music Awards—including two BB King Entertainer of the Year honors—and induction into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. After a 13-year recording hiatus, Benoit returned with I Hear Thunder on his own label, Whiskey Bayou Records, marking his first Billboard No. 1 album in over 30 years. In addition to his musical career, Benoit is the founder of Voice of the Wetlands, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Louisiana’s coastal ecosystems.
\n\nBenoit has recorded and/or performed with Junior Wells, George Porter Jr, Dr. John, Willie Nelson, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Billy Joe Shaver, Maria Muldaur, James Cotton, Cyril Neville, Kenny Aronoff, Allen Toussaint, Kim Wilson, Jimmy Thackery, Charlie Musslewhite, Kenny Neal, Chris Layton, Ivan Neville, Jimmy Hall, Jim Lauderdale, Anders Osborne, and Alvin Youngblood Hart, to name a few.

\n\n\n\n
U.S. Navy Commander Frank Weisser is a two-time Blue Angels Pilot who deployed to combat three separate times, including Afghanistan and Iraq. He flew in the front seat as an F-18 pilot for some of Top Gun: Maverick’s most memorable scenes. These scenes, including when Tom Cruise blasts through a twisting canyon uncomfortably close to rocky cliffs and the ground at lightning speeds, were crucial in demonstrating the feasibility of the combat mission pilots are tasked with. By completing that canyon course in 2 hours 15 minutes, Cruise was able to show his Navy bosses that, in fact, the combat mission could be completed. While Cruise appears to be flying the jet, it was Weisser who was in control, showcasing his exceptional piloting skills and expertise.
\n\nA native of Atlanta, Ga., Weisser graduated from North Springs High School and the United States Naval Academy. He joined the Blue Angels in September 2007 and has accumulated more than 5,000 flight hours and nearly 500 carrier landings. In September 2009, he earned a master's degree in Systems Analysis from the Naval Postgraduate School.
\n\nHis decorations include multiple Meritorious Service Medals, Strike Flight Air Medals, and various personal and unit awards. He is type-rated in the Gulfstream 450/550/700/800 and resides in a private airpark in the North Georgia Mountains.

\n\nEach month celebrated pianist Joe Alterman brings along his favorite musical guests for a one-of-a-kind jazz brunch, blending smooth live performances with unscripted, talk show-style interviews that go behind the music.
\n\nSpecial guests for the April 12 Toast & Jam are John Sandfort and Justin Powell.
\n\nJohn Sandfort’s debut recording “Southbound” hits like a freight train at full steam. His bold, thick tenor saxophone sound assumes immediate control. The project is a balance of well-selected jazz standards and Sandfort’s fresh originals. The title “Southbound” fits the St. Louis native who now makes Atlanta, Georgia his home.
\n\nSandfort’s musical development includes time in Chicago. The music of the “Windy City” natives Gene Ammons and Johnny Griffin were significant influences. Add the sounds of Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley, Sonny Stitt and Wardell Gray to arrive at Sandfort’s classic, yet personal sound.
\n\n “When I play, if I can impart some of the feeling I get when listening to a Gene Ammons recording, or a swinging Cannonball Adderly track, I will be a happy guy,” says Sandfort.

The Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center is pleased to announce The Assad Family Tour will stop in the Byers Theatre on Sunday, November 4, 2018. Tickets are $35 and $45 and go on-sale Friday, October 5, 2018.
\n\nBrazilian-born brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad have set the benchmark for all other guitarists by creating a new standard of guitar innovation, ingenuity and expression. Their exceptional artistry and uncanny ensemble playing come from a family rich in Brazilian musical tradition and studies under guitarist/lutenist Monina Távora, a disciple of Andrés Segovia. Their virtuosity has inspired a wide range of composers to write for them including Astor Piazzolla, Terry Riley, Radamés Gnattali, Marlos Nobre, Nikita Koshkin, Roland Dyens, Jorge Morel, Edino Krieger, and Francisco Mignone.
\n\nThe Assad Brothers began playing together at an early age, and their international career began with a major prize at the 1979, Young Artists Competition in Bratislava. Their repertoire explores folk, jazz and various styles of Latin music. Their classical repertoire includes transcriptions of the great Baroque keyboard literature of Bach, Rameau, and Scarlatti and adaptations of works by Gershwin, Ginastera, and Debussy; thus making their touring programs a compelling blend of styles, periods and cultures.
\n\nThey have collaborated with such notable orchestras as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the orchestras of São Paulo and Seattle, and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.
\n\nBrazilian-American Clarice Assad is a Grammy-nominated composer, pianist, and vocalist of musical depth and ability. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle as \"a serious triple threat,\" Assad is equally comfortable as a performer and bandleader.
\n\nAs a performer, Clarice has received acclaim for her performances of both original compositions and her own arrangements of popular Brazilian songs, world music, and jazz standards. She has performed at venues including Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City and Qatar, Carnegie Hall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Concertgebow in Amsterdam, San Francisco Jazz, Pick-Staiger Concert Hall in Chicago, and Le Casino de Paris in Paris, France.
\n\nBadi Assad is a gifted guitar player, singer, vocal juggler and songwriter from São Paulo, revered as one of the most prolific and virtuosic artists of her generation. The Los Angeles Times remarked “Badi Assad redefines solo (guitar) performance. Revelatory, a brilliant display of innovation, imagination, and skill…almost hypnotically compelling.”
\n\nBadi Assad has collaborated Bobby McFerrin, Sarah McLaughlin, Larry Coryell and John Abercrombie, among others. She has represented Brazil in the acclaimed festivals “Farm Aid” and “Lilith Fair.\" Her song Waves was featured in the film “It Runs in the Family” with Michael and Kirk Douglas.

\n\n\n\n
“The passage of this Ordinance provides the full faith and credit of the City, acting through the City Council, to endorse and make law the requirement that we mask up when in public spaces,” said Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul.
\n\n\n\n
The Ordinance requires that individuals wear a mask when in an entity or public place where other physical distancing measures may be difficult to maintain from non-cohabitating persons. The Ordinance also specifies that businesses that do not require masks within their facilities post a “clearly legible sign in one-inch Arial font at all public entrances” stating, “This location does not require the use of masks or facial coverings upon this property.”
\n\n\n\n
“Our goal is to use the authority we have as a City Council to enact provisions to keep people safe. The community asked that we provide direction regarding the use of masks, and we have done that through my statement and through this Ordinance adopted by the Council,” added Paul.
\n\n\n\n
The Ordinance is effective immediately and will remain in effect until revised or repealed by further action of the Mayor and City Council.

\n\nThe holidays are the quintessential time to get together with family and friends. Ticket holders for the upcoming Neranenah Presents: The Joe Alterman Trio with Houston Person will not only hear an evening of great music, they’ll witness the reunion of two very dear friends, whose friendship has a very sweet story.
\n\nSandy Springs native and Neranenah Executive Director Joe Alterman grew up listening to Houston Person’s recordings, considering the bona fide jazz legend as one of the greatest tenor saxophone players. As a young pianist, Alterman would play along with Person’s recordings, imagining himself as his accompanist.
\n\nFast forward to Alterman’s college days at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he got the opportunity to live his dream when Person taught a master class at NYU. Alterman was tapped to be Person’s accompanist. Person later requested to play a duet with Alterman and asked him to select the tune. Alterman picked “I Cover the Waterfront,” a rare and beautiful ballad. Person appreciated this unique selection and it was then that their friendship was born.
\n\nOver the years they stayed in touch, as Alterman attended Person’s gigs around New York and the friendship evolved into a mentorship which led to Person returning to NYU to play Alterman’s senior recital with him. In 2015, he produced and appeared on Alterman‘s “Georgia Sunset” album.
\n\n“In addition to knowing literally thousands of songs and being able to interpret them more beautifully than perhaps anyone alive today, Houston knows the lyrics and the history behind them all,” Alterman said. “And he has taught me so much about how to best inform my interpretations of these songs. Houston Person is a true national treasure and his incredible sound is truly one of my very favorites!\"
\n\nThese two old friends will appear together on the Byers Theatre stage on Thursday, Dec. 16 for an evening program that will combine holiday music along with the “Great American Songbook” standards, those popular and enduring tunes from the 1920s to the 1960s that were created for Broadway theatre, musical theatre, and Hollywood musical film, along with the stories behind the songs.

The project represents a major milestone as the first food and beverage business to open as part of the next phase of City Springs’ development.
\n\nFounded in 1998, Summit Coffee operates 21 cafés across the Southeast and is recognized for its small-batch roasting, sustainability practices and community-oriented approach. The Sandy Springs location will serve both as a café and a seasonal Summit Creamery, marking the brand’s first creamery outside its flagship in Davidson, North Carolina. The concept is designed to foster “third-place” connections, with programming that includes live music, maker markets, wine tastings and community workshops.
\n\n“Our goal is to provide opportunities in City Springs for people to come, hang out with friends and enjoy the varied amenities City Springs affords,” said Mayor Rusty Paul. “We believe Summit Coffee’s plan for the site fits well with our long-term vision for the district.”
\n\nThe project also reflects the City’s continued commitment to adaptive reuse and the preservation of its historic assets. The restored 1869 farmhouse, formerly home to the Heritage Sandy Springs Museum, will be reimagined as a neighborhood gathering space featuring indoor and outdoor seating, an event lawn and an outdoor bar—continuing the property’s legacy as a community hub.
\n\nMore than 50 businesses expressed interest in the site before Summit Coffee was selected. The company’s decision to invest locally and introduce its only off-flagship creamery concept underscores the value of the Sandy Springs market and the strength of the City’s collaborative business environment.
\n\nThe City’s partnership with Summit Coffee marks the next chapter in the building’s storied history and the continued evolution of City Springs as the civic and cultural heart of Sandy Springs.

\n\nIn true Sandy Springs fashion, this milestone anniversary will be celebrated with a unique highlight: a special video showing of the oral history project. This presentation brings the community’s voices to life, showcasing significant milestones and memories from some of its most influential residents—those involved in incorporation efforts as well as representatives from the youngest generation. Children aged six to ten ask insightful questions, and everyone is invited to take a seat and learn more.
\n\n“This event is a tribute to the spirit of Sandy Springs, where neighbors aren’t just residents, but friends and collaborators in shaping our city’s future,” said Mayor Rusty Paul who has been involved in leadership at the City since its founding. “Come hungry, come happy, and most importantly come together as we celebrate 20 years of Sandy Springs!”

Combined with on-site retail, residential, and recreational opportunities, the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center is well positioned to become the “heartbeat” for city activities.
\n\nThe Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center will weave a common thread through a wide range of cultural events, knitting an artistic fabric and creating culture for Sandy Springs. The Performing Arts Center will present a great diversity of programming from homegrown ensembles to internationally renowned touring acts. It affords a perfect setting for plays and concerts of all kinds, youth productions, choral groups, dance recitals, puppet shows, graduations, civic group gatherings, town hall meetings, holiday parties, networking events, business meetings and film festivals. There are endless possibilities!
\n\nSignificant opportunities exist within the metro Atlanta area to build partnerships with resident companies who would make the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center their artistic home: an orchestra, a chorale, a dance troupe, or an acting ensemble are a few examples. These established performance groups would utilize the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center as a stage an which to showcase their productions in Sandy Springs.
\n\nSandy Springs has a strong corporate base attracted to the city’s location, excellent municipal services, and a superlative lifestyle complimented by great schools, beautiful parks, and diverse entertainment offerings. In creating the Master Plan for the city’s future, the community expressed a hope that City Springs would spark redevelopment along the Roswell Road corridor. That spark has ignited, with significant redevelopment transforming Roswell Road, from Abernathy Road to the city’s southern limits. The Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center will provide an excellent venue for civic meetings, business conferences, reunions, weddings, and other community events. Corporate leaders will find this impressive venue ideal for shareholder, customer, and employee meetings and events.
\n\nThe Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center will provide an opportunity for all ages to learn about the fine arts and improve their skills. Workshops, summer camps, and special events will introduce our younger residents to the visual and performing arts and heighten their appreciation, knowledge, and understanding of the uni- versal and timeless qualities that identify all great art. The Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center will enhance the city’s economic value, enriching quality of life offerings vital for the overall health of a community.

\n\nThe information below provides a general outline of how to request and secure a date in the facility, and how to execute an event. For the best possible outcome, clients are encouraged to involve the SSPAC staff early in the planning of an event to ensure clear communication around issues of access, costs, and logistics.
\n\nIn order to officially request a date for an event, please initiate a booking request. In some cases, based on the event requirements, an additional Application for Lease may be required. Upon receipt of an official inquiry, the potential client will be granted a hold for the requested date, pending availability and approval.
\n\nDate bookings in the SSPAC are based on an annual performance season that begins on September 1 of any year and concludes on August 31 of the following year. In order to accommodate city events and affiliate groups, confirmed status cannot be granted to any hold prior to July 1 preceding the start of any performance season. Dates can only be confirmed through the end of the season immediately following the current season. For example:
\n\nFor events that fall between: September 1, 2019 – August 31, 2020
\nA contract cannot be issued until: July 1, 2019
For events that fall between: September 1, 2020 – August 31, 2021
\nA contract cannot be issued until: July 1, 2020
For events that fall between: September 1, 2021 – August 31, 2022
\nA contract cannot be issued until: July 1, 2021
All holds are considered tentative until a fully executed contract and deposit is received. Holds will remain valid until they are either contracted or released. In any case, SSPAC reserves the right remove any holds, without prior notification to the potential client, if no action has been taken by the client within 90 days of placing the hold, or if a contract has not been executed less than 60 days in advance of the proposed event date.
\n\nPotential clients shall not assign or transfer any right or interest in tentative hold dates, including, without limitation, the right to receive any payment without SSPAC management’s approval of such assignment. Any such assignment without the written approval of the SSPAC management shall be null and void.
\n\nHolds are assigned according to booking policies based on guidelines approved by the City of Sandy Springs. Management of the SSPAC reserves the right to place holds on dates at any time for an indefinite period in accordance with the mission of the facility. Holds placed by management are not subject to the challenge process.
\n\nIf a potential client requests a date that is already on hold for another client, the requesting party will be given a secondary hold behind the client with the primary hold. If at any time the client with the secondary hold is prepared to sign a contract and submit a deposit, the client with the primary hold will be notified and given 48 hours to submit a deposit and sign a contract. If the client with the primary hold does not submit a contract and deposit within the 48 hour window, or does not respond to good‐faith attempts to notify him/her of the challenge, the SSPAC has the right to release the primary hold and offer the date to the challenging party.
\n\nFor a hold to be confirmed, clients must execute a contract and submit a deposit. Potential clients with active holds must notify the SSPAC of their desire to confirm a date, at which point the contract will be generated and forwarded to the client. SSPAC must receive sufficient information from the client in order to generate the contract, which may include an overview of event or production requirements, technical riders for artists, a fully completed application for lease, insurance certificates, and any other information which SSPAC staff may deem necessary.
\n\nThe SSPAC will continue to hold the date for 14 days following the issuance date of the contract. If the potential client does not return the contract within 14 days, the SSPAC has the right to remove the hold, and offer the date to another party without prior notification to the potential client. Once the signed contract is returned, fully executed by SSPAC, and the appropriate deposit is received, tentative holds will then receive a confirmed status.
\n\nFor ticketed events, tickets may not go on sale until a deposit, fully executed venue contract, and when requested, a fully executed artist contract has been received by the SSPAC. All promotional and marketing materials must be pre‐approved by the SSPAC prior to distribution. Such distribution may not occur until a fully executed contract and deposit has been received by the SSPAC.
\n\nFor ticketed events, a non-refundable deposit in the amount of 50 percent of the total rental fees and expenses will be required upon submission of a signed contract. Multi‐day engagements may require a larger deposit. Should the amount held in box office escrow (the funds from tickets sold by SSPAC) plus the required deposit(s) be less than the total projected billing, the difference must be deposited with the SSPAC in certified funds no later than three business days prior to the first performance.
\n\nFor non‐ticketed events, a non‐refundable deposit in the amount of 50 percent of the total rental fees and expenses will be required upon submission of a signed contract. Final payment of the remaining estimated balance will be due five business days before the day of the event. Final payment must be made by money order, certified check, or credit card (fees may apply for credit card transactions). Any additional charges incurred on the day of the event will be settled via invoice following the event. A client may cancel a hold or confirmed date at any time. Any deposits paid are non‐refundable and may not be applied to future events.
\n\nThe best way to plan financially for an event is to discuss the event requirements with a SSPAC staff member who can translate those needs into an estimate. For a basic understanding of some of the rental fees and expenses associated with all spaces in SSPAC, please see our Rate Sheet. The rental rates are subject to re-approval each year, and are valid from July 1 – June 30 of each calendar year.
\n\nRental fees include access to the space, utilities, basic event staffing, in-house marketing elements, and all items on our House Inclusion list per the contract. Rental fees do not include part-time staffing (ushers, stagehands, security, police, ticket sellers, EMTs, cleaning, electrician), technical equipment, pianos, box office fees, outside marketing platforms, and other variable expenses as agreed upon per the contract. Please note that the rates for these services are still being negotiated and we are not able to publish firm costs at this time.
\n\nAn “Affiliated Group” is a community organization that helps fulfill the goal of providing cultural diversity of the arts in their performances/events. This could be ballet, classical dance, symphony, etc. These groups also bring a quantity of events to the SSPAC that would help to fill up the calendar and drive traffic to City Springs on a regular basis. Affiliate Groups receive special consideration with respect to date availability. Also, they may receive some financial consideration based on the volume and type of events and the attendance that they bring.
\n\nIn order to receive Affiliate Group status, an organization must meet the following criteria:
\n\nConfirmed status cannot be granted to any Affiliate Group hold prior to June 1 preceding the start of any performance season. Dates can only be confirmed through the end of the season immediately following the current season. Affiliate Groups will be offered a flexible deposit schedule due to the quantity of dates booked.
\n\nRental rates may be negotiated dependent on market conditions. For meeting spaces and the Terrace Meeting Room room, discounts on rental rates may be negotiated based on Food & Beverage catering dollars spent. Half day and hourly rates are available for some spaces on request. Non-profit and non-commercial clients are eligible to receive a 25 percent discount on rental rates for all spaces. On Sundays through Thursdays, some spaces may be available for a 50 percent discount. The 50 percent discount can only be obtained by non-profit and non-commercial clients when the booking is made within 60 days in advance of the event, and is not available for the performance hall, performance hall lobby, studio theatre, city bar, or city green.
\n\nUpon request of SSPAC management, clients holding events in the SSPAC may be required to provide a public liability policy with coverage limits no less than $1,000,000 each occurrence / $2,000,000 policy aggregate. A Certificate of Insurance noting the coverage limits above, and naming the Licensor, Global Spectrum, City of Sandy Springs, the City of Sandy Springs Public Facilities Authority, and their trustees, directors, officers and employees as additional insured, must be received no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the event. The SSPAC cannot host an event without the above policy and certificate.
\n\nRegardless of insurance coverage, client shall indemnify and hold harmless the SSPAC, the City of Sandy Springs, the City of Sandy Springs Public Facilities Authority, and their directors, officers, employees and agents from all losses, liabilities, claims, demands, suits, actions, payments and judgments arising in any way from the use of the facility or any other facilities by client and its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, customers, guests or other persons using the facilities as a result of the contract, including any and all expenses, costs, attorney’s fees incurred by the SSPAC and other indemnified persons or entities in the defense of any suit or claim. The SSPAC is not responsible to client for the loss of any personal property by the guests or employees of client.
\n\nThe client is responsible for any equipment or building damage that occurs as a direct or indirect result of preparing, producing, or striking the event, including accidental damage by SSPAC personnel under the direction of the presenter, the artist, or his/her representative.

When it comes to the Fourth of July, fireworks can be great fun for people but frightening for pets. The sound and vibration patterns of fireworks is similar to thunderstorms and can cause many dogs, and some cats, to experience anxiety; veterinarians call this thunderstorm phobia. Local Veterinarian, Dr. Eric Mueller, Mt Paran Animal Hospital has provided the following advice to help your fur babies this 4th of July!
\n\nBring your pet inside if possible to allow them a safe place to hide and feel comfortable. The severity of the sound of the fireworks will be significantly less indoor.
\n\nAvoid walking dogs in the vicinity of the fireworks if they have noise aversions.
\n\n'Thundershirts' are sometimes very effective and fairly inexpensive at making dogs feel safer during the fireworks. These can be found at common pet stores and on-line
\n\nBenadryl is a safe medication that is slightly sedating and can take the edge off in some situations for dogs with noise aversions. Always consult with your veterinarian about dosage and frequency. A good standard oral dose is your dog's body weight in milligrams every 8 to 12 hours. For example a 50lb dog would get 50mg orally and a 100lb dog would get 100mg orally and this can be given every 8 to 12 hours (2 to 3 times a day).
\n\nFor some dogs and cats with more severe noise aversions, there are stronger sedatives/ medications available. Always consult with your veterinarian about what options are best for your pet.
\n\nNo one knows your pet like you do, start planning early as we prepare to celebrate the birth of this great country!

The City Springs complex reinforces the community’s dedication to the arts. Designed as a gathering place for residents and visitors, City Springs features a variety of musical and cultural events attracting local and regional audiences.
\n\nWelcome to our gallery without walls! Take a stroll and discover the sculpture at City Green.
\n\n\n\nArtSS in the Open is a project of Art Sandy Springs and the City of Sandy Springs to enrich the quality of life for Sandy Springs residents and visitors through public art and special arts events. The project launched right after Sandy Springs was formed in 2005. The first sculpture competition in 2008, attracted 100 national and international submissions, with four permanent works purchased with private funds to launch the City’s public art collection.
\n\nIn 2014, underwritten with a private grant from Northside Hospital, The Playable Art Park opened at Abernathy Greenway Park to national praise with six huge sculptures built by artists for kids to play on. It has become a popular regional playground destination for children of every age.
\n\nIn 2018, an annual sculpture competition was created as part of the ArtSS in the Open program. Following a call for submissions, selected finalists had their work on display at the City Green, creating a rotating sculpture art gallery in the park.
\n\nMany sculptures currently on permanent display throughout the City were finalists from previous exhibits.

Here, everyone is welcomed and celebrated, and every story has a place. Whether enjoying the arts, dining, or connecting with neighbors, City Springs is a place where all belong, and life is well lived.
\n\nAt the essence of City Springs lies its downtown, anchored by City Green, the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center and City Hall. Here, you can relax, socialize, and enjoy everything City Springs has to offer. From outdoor dining to live events, downtown City Springs is the perfect spot to grab a bite, sip a drink, and explore local shops, all in pedestrian-friendly atmosphere. As a designated open container district, those 21+ can purchase a beverage from a local restaurant and stroll over to City Green to enjoy the Shade Bosque. Whether you're here for a quick snack, a leisurely drink, or just to hang out with friends, it's all about enjoying the best of the Sandy Springs community.
\n\nCity Springs is a lively, walkable district for Sandy Springs residents and visitors alike, strategically located along Roswell Road just outside the Perimeter. Offering an array of food and beverage options, unique shopping, fine arts and entertainment, outdoor spaces, and housing, the City Springs is a connected, sought-after destination within the metro Atlanta region.
\n\nIn 2012, the Sandy Springs City Council adopted a City Center Master Plan to create the City's downtown area. The Community Vision: Promote Community Interaction - creating a safe and welcoming area for all residents. From concept on paper to active construction, City Springs' downtown formally opened May 2018 and the district has continued to grow since.
\n\nThe current City Center Master Plan, adopted in 2012 and updated in 2022, presents a 10-year vision for the City Springs district. The City Center Master Plan includes a walkable grid of streets; a mix of retail, dining and housing; and the addition of a network of green spaces.
\n\nThe downtown of City Springs — with its green spaces, community events, retail and restaurants — has had a profound impact on the area, rippling to the surrounding 14-acre City Springs Character Area, or neighborhood, identified in The Next Ten, the City's 2017 Comprehensive Plan.
\n\nBuilding on this success, the City of Sandy Springs plans to develop the parcels just south of Mount Vernon Road across from City Green. The desire is to develop space for more restaurants, experiential retail, an upscale boutique hotel, office spaces, limited residential options, additional green spaces, and shared parking facilities.

The Gallery at City Springs features rotating exhibits produced by local artists. The Gallery is open during City Hall hours.
\n\n\"Unexpected Beauty\" - Kathy Rennell Forbes
\n\nUnexpected Beauty is a visual exploration of reused materials to create mixed media paintings that elevate discarded materials into works of striking beauty and thoughtful commentary.
\n
\nKathy Rennell Forbes’ contribution stems from a desire to give new life to her previous watercolor paintings. Encouraged by her studio mate, Cathy Ehrler and inspired by a visit to the Georgia Tech Paper Museum, she began shredding her old paintings to make handmade paper. These organic, repurposed materials are mounted on reclaimed panels and canvases, then reimagined into landscapes and florals. Additional hand-colored paper and found objects from her studio are layered into the work, resulting in richly textured compositions that echo the natural world and the cyclical nature of creation.
About the artist:
\n\nMs. Forbes is both an accomplished artist and a dedicated instructor, working in watercolor, acrylic, and oil. She teaches classes nearby at the Abernathy Arts Center, where she shares her expertise with students of all levels. Her impressionistic paintings have reached audiences around the world and are included in both private and corporate collections. In 2017, she was named a \"Master Artist\" at the Olmsted Plein Air Invitational, and she has also been invited to participate in the Olmsted Georgia Color event four different times. Kathy is a Signature Member of the Georgia Watercolor Society and also served as its President. Over the course of her career, she has shown her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions, winning recognition and awards in local, regional, and national shows. Her demonstrations and exhibitions have been featured at prominent institutions including the High Museum of Art, the Booth Western Art Museum, and Oglethorpe University Museum of Art. She conducts watercolor workshops across the United States and abroad, with teaching trips that have taken her to Cuba, France, Italy, and Spain.

\n\nWhen the City of Sandy Springs incorporated in 2005, the City lacked a center point and a traditional component of most cities – a town square. That challenge presented the community with the unique opportunity to craft its downtown from scratch, transforming a centrally-located strip mall with a huge asphalt parking lot into a 21st Century town square.
\n\nThe community asked for the creation of a unique, vibrant, walkable City Center, introducing new dining, high-end residential living, and amenity retail and entertainment options. The community also sought an appropriate setting for a performing arts facility.
\n\nThe resulting design created a complex which features a main theatre designed to support a wide-range of programs and activities. Sizeable at 1,070 seats, the Byers Theatre also incorporates a sense of intimacy ideal for theatre productions. Versatility is the best adjective to describe the Studio Theatre which provides the right sized venue for smaller productions, in addition to its flexibility to meet the needs of corporate meetings and events. CityBar. offers patrons a convenient spot to grab a drink before the show.
\n\nLocated above the Studio Theatre is an open-air City View Terrace, offering compelling views of City Springs and beyond. This rentable space is equally fitting as an intimate performance space or reception. The Terrace is adjacent to the Conference Center which offers a variety of spaces for company meetings and special events.
\n\nOutdoors, the City Green offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy live music, theatre and special events with a canopy of sun and stars. Be sure to make time to wander the campus and enjoy the sculpture garden as part of Arts in the Open.
