A Fresh Take on the Good Life: Arvid's Cork Envy

Wine artist Thomas Arvid is known across the country not only for capturing shared experiences on canvas, but also for infusing art into the every day.

Whether he is playing the ukulele or building a boat with his two sons, he is always finding new ways to express himself. This season, The Wyche Group is thrilled to help introduce the newest expression of the artful life with Arvid's foray into a new medium…

“Cork Envy,” the first in the Arvid Limited Edition Sculpture Series, illustrates Arvid continued ability to produce work that reflects care, attention to detail and a delicious balance.

Conceived to work either independently as a single sculpture or as an instillation of several sculptures, “Cork Envy” brings Arvid’s bold painting style into a three dimensional work of art.

Each signed and numbered limited edition sculpture is cast in resin and hand-painted to reflect the nuances of the classic cork and wine stain with the exquisite detail and craftsmanship for which Arvid is known. They are truly beautiful.

Join us in December at Arvid’s annual homecoming show to experience “Cork Envy.” Vinings Gallery: Saturday December 5 from 6pm to 9pm and Sunday, December 6 from 1pm to 4pm.

An Oh So Sweet Celebration in Sweet Auburn

Another slice of Atlanta history will remain intact thanks to the success of a 30-year-long partnership between the Trust for Public Land and the National Park Service in their efforts to preserve the boyhood home and block of Martin Luther King Jr.
On October 28, TPL conveyed one of the last privately owned parcels in the MLK National Historic District to NPS. This transaction represents TPL's continued commitment to preserve the neighborhood's cultural heritage and to recapture the vitality and distinctiveness the Auburn Avenue area enjoyed during Dr. King's life.
To commemorate the ownership transfer of 530 Auburn Avenue, The Wyche Group joined TPL to plan and implement a 1930s-style neighborhood celebration.
A historic car was parked along the street, children played street games, and "John Wesley Dobbs" made an appearance for the special day. Guests enjoyed old fashioned cakes, popcorn, Coca-colas and lemonade. All in all, the block truly represented what life was like when Dr. King lived there.
We were thrilled it turned out to be a beautiful day. The rain the night before pressure washed the block, leaving the corridor on Auburn Avenue brilliantly gleaming for the ceremony.
Numerous special guests were in attendance and an impressive group of VIPs participated in the program, including TPL national president (in from San Francisco) and MLK Jr.'s sister, Christine King Ferris, and her son Isaac Ferris. Unexpected, special guests cam to the event - the great granddaughters of the original home owners.
We also had a terrific showing of media at the event. The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Atlanta Business Chronicle, Atlanta Magazine, WABE-FM, WAGA-TV, 11Alive, and WSB-TV all joined the celebration.
The Wyche Group is proud to be a part of the efforts to ensure the character of Sweet Auburn and the neighborhood that nurtured Dr. King and his vision will be preserved forever.
