Bainbridge, GA…Southwest Georgia Regional Library’s Gilbert H. Gragg Library in Bainbridge, GA will host “Fox In A Box,” an interactive banner exhibit that focuses on how important events in the Fox Theatre’s timeline intersect with American history, the Civil Rights Movement, economics and the importance of communities. Participants are challenged to think about how communities come together to share an experience and to protect what’s important to them.
Through a partnership between Georgia Public Library Service and the Fox Theatre Institute, 18 libraries statewide will welcome the exhibit into their communities.
Leigh Burns, Director of the Fox Theatre Institute shares, “The Fox Theatre Institute is excited to partner with the Georgia Public Library Service to bring Fox in a Box beyond the metro-Atlanta area. To know that the interactive exhibit and the film have a reach within more of Georgia’s 159 counties helps us meet our goals to increase the awareness and sustainability of historic theatres and cultural centers beyond our own home here at the Fox. We are grateful for the opportunity and growing our partnership.”
“We are very excited to host Fox In A Box at our library,” said Catherine Vanstone, Assistant Director for Technology, Training, & Development, “We hope the community enjoys this inside look of one of Georgia’s most famous buildings.”
Susan Whittle, Library Director for Southwest Georgia Regional Library exclaims, “Come to the public library and relive your memories of Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, or the best live performance you experienced at the magical Fox Theatre Atlanta!”
The exhibit will be on display for all patrons to enjoy from Friday, November 5, 2021 to Monday, December 6, 2021.
