The Logo Project


Free Portraits by Renowned Photographer


May 27, 2009 – Do you love to wear Tommy Gear? How about that Abercrombie & Fitch hoodie that is worn-in just right? On Saturday, June 27th from 11-5pm and Sunday, June 28th, noted portrait photographer Craig Wallace Dale will make a free portrait for anyone wearing clothing with a predominant brand logo. The portrait sessions will take place in The Renaissance Center’s lighting studio as part of the Firefly Fine Arts Festival and his current gallery exhibit titled The Logo Project.


“Much of my current work attempts to use art to engage social phenomenon.” Dale notes, “I am fascinated by our celebration of logos like Tommy, Abercrombie & Fitch, Juicy, Hollister, FUBU, and Sean John. How those choices are made and the meaning that we place upon them is the topic of my latest work."


This is a unique opportunity to get a free portrait by a photographer whose work has been seen in The New York Times, Barrons, People, Voyaging, Ladies’ Home Journal and others. Additionally, the work was exhibited last July at the Wood Art Center in Montpelier, Vermont.


Everyone is welcome and anyone wearing logo clothing is eligible for a free portrait after answering a few simple questions. No appointment is necessary, portraits will be made on a first come first served basis. The Renaissance Center is located in Dickson, TN, just 30 miles outside of Nashville. For further information please email amanda.dillingham@rcenter.org or call 615-740-5545.

And the winner is....

This summer the Renaissance Players are producing the magical musical Willy Wonka. As a contest Amy Scott, costume designer extraordinaire, let the children actors draw their own creation for the costume of the oompaloompas. And after many good drawings and excellent ideas a winner was voted on by the cast. The winner is Maclain Proctor's design of a girly oompaloompa. Amy will now make all the costumes for the cast based on this design. Way to go Maclain!



Willy Wonka runs June 19, 20, 26, 27 at 7pm and June 21& 28 at 2pm. Tickets are $15 adults, $12 seniors and $8 children. There will also be an exclusive matinee with lunch served at noon and show at 1pm. Tickets are $25 adults, $22 seniors and $18 children.
