Room 400 | Fine Arts Building UGA students, faculty, and Athens community members have had the opportunity to collaborate this semester on a unique and original performance presentation titled Favored by the Muses. Favored by the Muses is the culmination of a year-long collaboration between UGA and TCU Humanities and Education programs that celebrates the literary and cultural legacy of America’s first published black female poet, Phillis Wheatley Peters (1753-1784), and the sesquicentennial of her collection, Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (1773). The presentation will take place during the annual Spotlight on the Arts Festival on November 6th in the Balcony Theatre (Room 400) of the Fine Arts Building at 7 p.m., followed by a Q&A with participants. This event is free and open to the public and is generously funded by a Public Impact Grant from the University of Georgia’s Willson Center for Humanities and Arts. Monday, November 6, 2023 - 7:00pm
