Atlanta, GA, October 29, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The Central Outreach & Advocacy Center (OAC), a non-profit organization affiliated with historic Central Presbyterian Church in downtown Atlanta, is proud to announce its limited edition book, We Make Art, A vessel of art & thought by Atlanta’s homeless artists, won two platinum MarCom Awards in this year’s creative competition.
The concept of the book, We Make Art, A vessel of art & thought by Atlanta’s homeless artists, was organized and designed by Mark Smith to showcase the artwork of clients at the OAC.
Each copy of the limited-edition book was hand-assembled, taking more than 20 volunteers an estimated 400 hours and more than seven months - from prototype designs to the final assembly - to complete.
The book won in the platinum categories of pro bono and fundraising publication in the 2016 MarCom Awards.
Smith is a retired trade-show exhibit fabricator, designer, and engineer who contracts freelance exhibit design and fabrication. He is also a sculptor, designer, and artist who volunteers to supervise classes and manage the annual exhibit of client artwork for the OAC.
