Dolly Parton beautiful
From music icons to local beach scenes, Roy Zenner has a way to connect us through his paintings. His torn paper, mixed media paintings are images we see and we know and scenes we kind of take for granted! He finds the shapes and shadows and gives us a freshness, a new way to see.

FILM & ART

Meet the director Hal Jacobs, and artist Joni Mabe!

DOCUMENTARY Sat., Nov. 21, 7-9pm Everything Elvis:

The ART (and Obsessions!) oF JONI MABE

Joni Mabe Artist seen wither her elvis southern collection
$10. entry fee at the door. A lively overview of the inspirations and obsessions of Athens-based artist Joni Mabe, whose collection of EVERYTHING ELVIS spans 40 years. For over 40 years, artist Joni Mabe has channeled her Georgia roots into work that explores pop culture, Southern ephemera, and Elvis. Her obsession with The King started with his death in 1977 while she was an art student at UGA, leading to a collection of over 30,000 items related to Elvis. In 2024, she was a finalist for the Hudgens Art Prize with her sculptural installations using found and fabulous objects. The 57-minute film details her journey from thumbing her nose at art faculty to appearances on the Howard Stern Show to becoming a darling of 1990s MTV before returning home to save her great-grandparents boarding house and turn it into a hotspot of the unofficial Southern Oddities Circuit.
Director Hal Jacobs and producer Joe Boris have collaborated on five full-length documentaries that profile Georgia leaders in the arts, environment, education and social justice. Their films are screened at festivals, libraries and broadcast on Georgia public television. There is a $10 fee at the door. Refreshments provided. The artist, Joan Mabe and the directors Hal Jacobs and Joe Boris will chat after the film.
