Additional good news for the TAA is that they will be receiving a grant from the City of Tybee to get landscaping and a new state of the art light and sound system!! That is awesome for a non-profit to receive such an accolade from the City. It goes to show that the City recognizes a good thing when they see it: Promote the arts, broaden young minds, get all people active in the community and social events and create art! Oh, and have a good time while doing it!! TAA has got some great stuff coming up! On November 5th, there will be an Interactive Street Art Party. Partnering with Development Authority/Main Street on this project to provide public art for the citizens and visitors to Tybee, the first of three murals will be unveiled to serve as a lasting reminder of Tybee’s history, culture and icons. The murals will be going up on the block wall outside the Sea & Breeze wall on Tybrisa, aka 16th Street. December 2 is the Lighting of the Christmas tree at the Roundabout. TAA is the entertainment and the choir of the celebration at both the roundy and on the steps of the Carbo House. December 3rd and 4th is the “House of Christmas Mouse.” This is a celebration and sale at the TAA for children to come either before or after the Christmas parade. They can buy quality gifts, mostly handcrafted and handmade, at child sized prices for all their family and friends. TAA is accepting donations from artists and businesses in the community to help supply presents for the children to purchase. They also need gift wrapping supplies and volunteers to assist children with shopping and to assist with gift wrapping. A variety of interactive activities are planned for kids of all ages. Adults will be able to relax and view local artist’s work while the children shop. There are also plans to do a Christmas show in the Post theater, to be announced soon. The TAA does so much for Tybee. However, it takes a community. Renee DeRossett and Kim Trammel are HUGE volunteers in this endeavor. Both ladies have been instrumental in all TAA events for many years, but they and the TAA need help. Volunteer to help teach an art class, act in a play, shuffle scenery, help children, paint a picture and BECOME A MEMBER! OH, and buy your tickets for Clue NOW!! The tickets are $20 prior to October 21st. They will be $25 at the door and, as you know, tickets are limited. You must be 21 to attend.
