Mark your calendars now for this year's Spotlight on the Arts festival.
From the Spotlight on the Arts press release:
"The University of Georgia will spotlight its arts programs and venues
during a nine-day festival in November that includes concerts, theater
and dance performances, art exhibitions, poetry readings, film
festivals, discussions on the arts and creativity, and more.
The 2013 Spotlight on the Arts festival, to be held Nov. 7-15, will follow the pattern of the inaugural Spotlight festival that attracted some 15,000 attendees to more than 50 events scheduled over a similar period last year."
More than 60 events are scheduled for this year's festival. All of the events designated as Spotlight on the Arts festival events must be sponsored or co-sponsored by at least one of the UGA Arts Council units. UGA Press is one of the twelve units that make up the Arts Council. Other campus units include the Performing Arts Center, the Hugh Hodgson School of Music, the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the department of dance, the department of theatre and film studies, the Georgia Museum of Art, The Georgia Review, the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts, the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, the special collections libraries and the Office of the Provost.
The second full week of the festival also happens to be University Press Week. In its second year, University Press Week is meant to highlight the extraordinary work of university presses and their many contributions to culture, the academy, and an informed society.

The press will help kick-off the Spotlight on the Arts
festival with the ever-popular Dirty Book Sale at the Tate Student
Plaza. Hundreds of slightly shelf worn, nearly new books at deeply reduced
prices in such subjects as literary studies, history, biography, Civil War, and
cooking, as well as fiction and poetry will be available for sale.
November 11–15 will include a week-long exhibit of the 2013
Association of American University Presses Book, Jacket, and Journal Show and a
four-day film festival featuring movies that either originated as or inspired UGA Press books.
The press will cosponsor with other UGA departments two additional
lectures. The UGA College of Environment and Design, UGA Grady College of
Journalism and Mass Communication, and UGA Press will host an event for the new
UGA campus guide, THROUGH THE ARCH,
on Friday, November 8. On Tuesday,
November 12, author of, THIS DELTA, THIS LAND, Mikko Saiku will give a lecture in the
Richard B. Russell Special Collections Libraries. His seminar is cosponsored by
the Environmental Ethics Certificate Program, the UGA History Department, the
Richard B. Russell Special Collections Libraries, and UGA Press.
