Artists
find local
By JOHN NIJHAWAN
jnijhawan@randb.com
Lately Athens has seen
growth in the art world
with the opening of more
art galleries, but the rela
tively unknown artists can
still turn to coffee shops
and eateries for exposure.
“Usually artists contact
us, and anything that is
not too offensive or graph
ic has a chance,” said
Drew Kane, an employee
at Blue Sky Coffee.
Exposure is what artists
want, said Neil Bender, a
graduate student in paint
ing and drawing from
Perth Amboy, N. J.
“Places like Blue Sky
get a lot more foot traffic
than art galleries in this
town, and because almost
everybody drinks coffee, a
lot of people can see your
work,” Bender said.
Bender has shown work
in galleries in the Lamar
Dodd School of Art as well
as restaurants around
town. He said artists need
to pursue exhibits because
the only way to succeed as
an artist is to have work
in the public’s view.
It is not easy to make a
living as an independent
artist. Building a name
and showing as much
work as possible is essen
tial for success.
“It is difficult, especially
young artists, to show
their work because there
aren’t that many avenues
in town,” said Brooke
Easier, a senior in studio
art from Marietta.
Jeff Shirey, an employee
at Espresso Royale Caffe,
said artists regularly ask
about showing their work,
and the manager picks the
art he likes.
“The art changes regu
larly, and there is usually a
three- to six-month wait
ing list,” Shirey said.
The art selection at
Blue Sky Coffee changes
about once a month, so a
variety of artists are given
the same opportunities to
show work, Kane said.
Art exhibited in restau
rants can sell, but that is
not what motivates some
artists.
“Some artists sell
because art at a place like
this (Blue Sky) is more
affordable,” Kane said.
New recruits to strengthen Lady Dogs’ force
By BENJAMIN EGGER
begger@randb.com
► Here’s a run-down of
Georgia’s prospect signings
from the past week:
Women’s Basketball
Andy Landers’ 2001 fall
class was once again superb.
The coach closed out the peri
od by signing one of the top
guards in the country.
The team added three
players — guards Alexis
“Alex” Kendrick, of St.
Bernard Catholic High School
in Inglewood, Calif., Sherill
Baker, from greater Atlanta
Christian School in Norcross,
and wing Marquita Driskell.
from Baldwin County High
School in Milledgeville.
All three were rated among
the best players in the nation by
All-Star Girls Basketball Report,
with Baker No. 20, Driskell No.
26 and Kendrick No. 10.
Kendrick was a late addi
tion to the class, signing on
the final day. She was a sec
ond team All-American by
Street & Smith’s, and nearly
averaged a quadruple double
as a junior last year.
“We signed two of the
nation’s top 30 players —
Sherill Baker and Marquita
Driskell — and adding Alex to
this class only makes it more
impressive,” Landers said.
“Alex is one of the best guard
prospects in the country. She
has the ability to defend, pene
trate and break people down
with the dribble.”
Men’s Swimming & Diving
Head coach Jack Bauerle
hauled in two highly rated
swimmers during the fall.
Cole Taylor, from Bumpass,
Va., qualified for the Junior
Nationals in eight events, and
ranked in the top 15 in three
events in the boys’ 15-16 age
division. He is also a National
Honor Society member.
The biggest name in the
class is Damian Alleyne from
Christ Church, Barbados, by
way of the Bolles School in
Jacksonville, Fla.
Alleyne is the two-time
Florida state champion in the
500-yard freestyle and has
earned All-American honors
10 times.
“Damian is one of the best
swimmers available coming
out of high school,” Bauerle
said. “He walks in the fastest
recruit we have signed in the
history of the program in the
200- and 500-yard freestyle.”
Volleyball
The University volleyball
team added four outstanding
players taller than 6-foot-l —
Andrea Fisher, from Poway,
Calif.; Angela Hale, from Floyd
Knobbs, Ind.; Meagan Welch,
from Amarillo, Texas; and
Alexandra Oquendo, from
Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.
The headliner is Oquendo,
a 6-2 middle blocker who has
been on the Puerto Rican
National team since 1999. In
2000, the Senate of Puerto
Rico honored her for her
outstanding play.
Track and Field
The University track and
field team signed three
prospects.
The lone female is Kelly
Cordell, a middle distance run
ner from Houston Memorial High
School in Houston, Tfexas.
Joining her are Chad
Goddard, from Central High
School in Carrollton, and John
Newell, from Woodland, Calif.
Goddard won the NJCAA
national titles in the
35-pound weight throw and
the hammer throw for North
Idaho College in 2001.
Newell, who will be throw
ing shot put and possibly dis
cus, has been competing for
Sacramento City College, as
well as the U.S. Junior
National team.
Georgia No. 15 in
BCS; bye-bye Tech
Club Crawl
James Gallagher
At the start of the season,
a Georgia Tech student came
up to my brother, showed
him Tech’s schedule and
said, “See, after we beat
Florida State, we’re going to
compete for the national
championship.”
It seems so fitting now
that Tech has dropped out of
both polls, and Georgia has
moved up to No. 15 in the
BCS.
I also must say I am
amazed that Tech could even
be ranked for so long with
three losses to ACC teams. I
mean, come on, other than
FSU, the ACC is as tough as
the Big East.
I’m sorry, I meant the Big
Easy.
Finally, I must recant an
earlier comment. After seeing
Miami pummel Syracuse and
Washington, I guess the
Hurricanes might not be so
overrated.
Hats off on the ice
Before Thanksgiving, the
ice hockey team split its two
weekend games. Friday
night, the team beat the
University of Central Florida
5-1, with senior Bryan
Burnhart scoring a hat trick
and goalie Paul Lymburner
stopping 36 of 37 shots.
Then Saturday night, the ,
team fell to Embry Riddle |
5-1. This is their second loss
to Embry Riddle.
Get fuzzy
Going Cajun
Before the vacation, the
crew teams traveled to New
Orleans to scrimmage
Tulane. Both the men and
women brought two eight-
plus person boats. The
women’s boats won
their races, and the
men’s novice team beat
Tulane’s second novice
team.
— James Gallagher is a
stringer for The Red & Black.
Club Crawl appears every
Wednesday.
