The concerts are free but if you are looking for a “front-row seat,” a limited number of tables can be reserved for a fee.

Join others and participate in the table decorating contest sponsored by Coldwell Banker-Marietta West Cobb branch.  The contest is held prior to each concert with the winner will take home a basket full of goodies including a complimentary breakfast for 2 from the Hilton Marietta Hotel and Conference Center.  Registration is not required and it is free to participate.  Winner will be announced prior to the concert.

Deeann Rieves is the featured artist for the concert series poster.  She loves the juxtaposition of luscious brush strokes with carefree chalk contours and subtle colored pencil lines. In all of her paintings, she uses a sewing technique called free-motion machine embroidery on top of painted papers and then incorporate those papers as collage. Deeann says “she always working on a few paintings at a time – some days are for messy beginnings, others days are for more refined finishing touches”. She attended Memphis College of Art and now resides in Marietta with her husband.
