Visual Essay Theme


I am considering doing my visual essay on a festival theme. This time of year, there are lots of farmers’ markets, and art festivals. This weekend, there is The Atlanta Pride Festival. (See below for more information of this festival.) The following are forms of public art that seem to fit the festival theme:
                Festival cities.
                Cultural tourism and public display.
                Festival and ritual.
                Global festivals.
                Ethnic arts festivals.
                Regional festivals.
                Theatre festivals, genres, regions and Shakespeare.
                Music festivals.
                Visual arts festivals and biennales.
                Cultural diversity and festival development.
                Festival and event management.
                Book festivals.
                Film festivals.
                Festivals and civic engagement.
                Economic impact and festival development.
                Why create an arts festival.
                Rural festivals as social life.
                Olympic festivals – of real and imagined proportions.

Atlanta Pride 2010
October 9-10, 2010 - Piedmont Park - Midtown Atlanta Georgia
From October 9th through the 10th, over 300,000 People will gather in Atlanta for the annual Atlanta Pride Festival to participate in the march, spectate, or simply walk around the fun Vendor Areas in Piedmont Park.


p.s. - my topic/theme could very well change as I actually start taking pictures (just the way a thesis of a paper often changes when one starts writing!)
