FILM | THURS, NOV. 17
Cine • 7:30 p.m. • FREE!
Jay Bolotin will host a free event showcasing his film
and music as part of UGA’s 2022 Spotlight on the Arts
Festival. Bolotin is a filmmaker, animator, sculpture artist
and musician whose work has spanned a remarkably long
in line with Mallis’ surreal body of work, often blending
the lines between reality and fiction. More than anything,
the song is a study in context, a context which will not be
apparent until one either listens to the song or purchases
one of Mallis’ expertly designed, fully ceramic coffee mugs
promoting the new single. Mallis will debut the new song
online beginning Nov. 15, with a release show to follow
at Flicker on Nov. 19. Columbia punk band Flippants and
locals Telemarket will open. [PB]

Jack Burk
Artist Reception
Heirloom Cafe • 5:30 p.m. • FREE!
Heirloom Cafe has been providing
a home for the rich ink and pastel
works of Jack Burk since the begin
ning of November, but it is now
celebrating with an artist reception.
Visitors will get a chance to meet
with the Iowa native and discuss his
expressive natural scenes. Jack Burk
retired with his wife to Athens after
42 years teaching art in public schools
and a private Native American school.
Since moving, Burk has become an active member of the
local arts community, as both a member of the Athens Area
Plein Air Artists and the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation.
Burk has also been expanding his proficiency in new medi
ums, such as collage and colored pencil. Burk’s work will be
on display at Heirloom until Dec. 13, so there is plenty of
time to catch a glimpse of the vibrant worlds of Jack Burk.
As a reminder, Heirloom intends to close permanently on
Dec. 18 after 12 years as a popular neighborhood spot. [PB]

Rabbit Box Storytelling: 'Last Call'
VFW Post 2872 • 7 p.m. • $8 (Venmo), $10 (cash)
For 10 years, Rabbit Box Storytelling has been bringing
the Athens community together through the power of a
good story. Since its inception, Rabbit Box has been putting
on monthly storytelling events, where adults can submit
their true, personal stories for consideration, usually in
keeping with an established theme, and then tell the stories
live on stage. This month’s theme is “Last Call,” an evoca
tive phrase that signals the end of things, or the courage
to take a leap of faith. The emcee for this month’s show
is Heidi Hensley, a musician, artist and member of the
Athens-Clarke County School Board. The storytellers for
the show are Penny Noah, Tanya Hudson, Robert Tucker,
Dave Durden, Lisa Conner, Kris Schultz and Matthew
Epperson. [PB] ©

career. Bolotin began recording folk music in the 1970s,
enjoying modest success. His work was championed by
the likes of Kris Kristofferson and Merle Haggard. But no
examination of Bolotin’s storied career would be complete
without mentioning his filmmaking. Bolotin will present
segments of his in-progress motion picture The Book of Only
Enoch, featuring the voice of actor Brad Dourif (who voices
Chucky and also played Piter De Vries in David Lynch’s
1984 Dune adaptation). He will also present segments of his
theater piece The Darktown Sermons, a combination
of sculptural animation and live song featuring
the voice of Will Oldham (Bonnie “Prince” Billy).
Bolotin will also engage in conversation about his
work with Nicholas Allen, director of the Willson
Center for Humanities and Arts. [Patrick Barry]

Daily Groceries Co-op's
Birthday Bash
Historic Athens • 5:30 p.m. • FREE!
Daily Groceries Co-op is celebrating 30 years
as part of the Athens community with acous
tic performances by Hamlin Jackson and Kiran
Fernandes as well as tasty new and old favorite
refreshments courtesy of Daily. Over the years,
the co-op has grown from a small general store
to a community resource for healthy food that is
owned by its customers. Daily Groceries opened
its doors in 1992 after the closure of Bell’s Grocery
Store, which had been serving the downtown area.
After expanding and moving locations along Prince
Avenue, it merged with Daily Groceries Co-op in
2000 but did not officially adopt patronage own
ership until 2012. In January of this year, Daily posted
on Instagram and shared with the Red & Black that it was
struggling to stay open due to the pandemic and factors like
inflation, increased rent and a general lack of community
awareness. Although sales have picked up, keeping Daily
open for another 30 years will require more community
involvement, which defines the very nature of the business.
