Save the Panorama Ray Collection
Donation protected
We did it! We are bringing the legend of Panorama Ray back to Atlanta with a 20 year tribute show of his work! So far, we have been able to put the show together with no budget at all! We have borrowed a wide variety of Panorama Ray's works, photographs and paintings; many thanks to all of those who have loaned original Panorama Ray art for the show!
As many of us have known and loved Ray, we believe it is up to us to preserve his memory for future generations to enjoy and we need your help to do this! The negatives are in peril! The Panorama Ray negatives are currently located in a non-climate controlled storage facility in Atlantic City, NJ and need to make their way back home where they can be stored properly and curated. Help bring the negatives back to Ray's beloved Atlanta.
All donations will be put towards transporting the collection back to Atlanta, organizing over 1,000 negatives and 600 paintings and storing them in a climate controlled space. We believe that the work of Panorama Ray is an important piece of Atlanta history and needs to be taken care of. The keepers of the Legend of Panorama Ray and the energy behind the effort are Rosemary Kimble, ingenue to many of the works of Panorama Ray and Shawn McElroy, current owner and operator of the legendary #10 Cirkut camera. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or if you need more information by visiting either the event website or the www.panoramaray.com website.
Atlanta was very dear to Panorama Ray and he would have been truly honored to know that we feel the same about the art he made with us, about us and for us. Any contribution you can give will help reach the goal, save the collection and get it where the world can see it.
Remember to come see the show so you can know and be reminded of what a truly amazing artist our city created and let him continue to represent the uniqueness of our great town- Atlanta!
