One Piece of Paper

One blustery spring day in 2004, I was walking to my World Drama class at Queens University of Charlotte, while chatting with my dad on my flip phone. He had just visited a building Athens Area Council for the Arts was considering as a permanent home. An Arts Center? My mind reeled at the possibilities such a place would unfold for “little ole” Athens. I was earning a degree in the Queens City while the AACA Board, Capital Campaign, and Arts Center Building committees worked tirelessly to breathe life into the dream to provide our community a creative home.
