The Center Ls housed in a former Atlanta city school which is leased to WRFG Radio by the City of Atlanta Board of Educatioa WRFG recently attempted to exercise its option to purchase the building, but its proposal was rejected by the School Board. The Board has now decided to reconsider WRFG's proposal to buy the building, according to Joe Shifalo, executive director of the Community Center. A few groups located in the Center are the Atlanta Writers Collective, Strange Apples, Inc., and Celeste Miller's Dance Company. The Atlanta Writers Collective has used its space in the Community Center since 1982 to provide local writers with a place to work on individual projects as well as occasionally collaborate. Some writers who have utilized the Collective's space are Rebecca Ranson, Cliff Kuhn, George Mitchell, Debbie Hiers and George King. Projects that have either been completed or worked on at the Collective include Debbie Hiers' just published First book of poetry, George Mitchell's soon to be published documentary of the life of an Atlanta streetwalker and drug addict, and Cliff Kuhn's oral history of Atlanta between the two world wars which will be published in 1989 by University of Georgia Press. Strange Apples, Inc. is an organization which provides studio space for local visual artists. This group is currently co-sponsoring a major visual arts installation at the Georgia Tech Student Center Art entitled "Art in the Ozone." "Art in the Ozone," says Edith Kelman of Strange Apples, Inc., "is a playfully serious set of installations." The work is an effort by nine visual and performance artists and three Georgia Tech research scientists to communicate to the lay public in an entertaining manner the problems caused by the deterioration of the ozone layer. Wayne Sizemore will be presenting a performance piece on the opening day of the installation, July 19th at 11:00 AM, in which he addresses the use of ozone therapy in AIDS treatment The exhibit will be open for viewing through August 12th, Monday through Saturday from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM. The Celeste Miller Dance Company, a non profit contemporary dance company, maintains rehearsal studios in the Community Center. The company consists of ten artists and performs in Atlanta as well as touring around the country. Ms. Miller also gives free workshops most Saturday mornings which are open to the community. In 1988 Ms. Miller was one of three artists awarded the "Mayor's Fellowship in the Arts" by Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young.

While the School Board is considering allowing WRFG to buy the Community Center building, the situation remains uncertain. Four years remain on WRFG's lease and it is hoped that before the lease expires they will be allowed to purchase the building. This purchase would ensure that the Little Five Points Community Center continues to provide a haven of creativity and service to the Little Five Points area. -Sharon Blalock | The Little 5 Points section covers the I news, events and people of this | community, gay or straight-always different, always special.
