Emory Margaret Atwood Tickets Now Available – Free!
Decatur Metro | October 25, 2010Wanna attend one or more of the upcoming Margaret Atwood lectures at Emory? Here’s all the info you need from Emory’s website…
Tickets to hear lectures by celebrated author Margaret Atwood, who will deliver the Richard Ellmann Lectures in Modern Literature Oct. 24-26, are now available.
Tickets are free, but required, to attend any of the events in the lecture series during Atwood’s visit. Tickets must be picked up from the Arts at Emory Box Office in the Schwartz Center, 1700 N. Decatur Rd. Tickets are limited to two per person per event. For more information about tickets, call the box office at 404.727.5050.
The Canadian scholar and author of “The Handmaid’s Tale” (1985) and other notable works will present three original lectures for the Ellmann series.
The first lecture, “Flying Rabbits” will be Oct. 24, at 4 p.m. The second, “Burning Bushes,” is set for Oct. 25, at 8:15 p.m. The third, “Dire Cartographies,” on Oct. 26, at 4 p.m., concludes with a book reading and signing at 8:15 p.m.
All the Ellmann events will be held in Glenn Memorial Auditorium, 1652 N.Decatur Rd.
Wouldn’t the headline benefit from a little rearranging? I read it that she was somehow incarcerated, and this was like a Free Nelson Mandela type campaign.
“No-cost Margaret Atwood Tickets…..” does sound a little less revolutionary!
LOL. Point taken.
Bigger issue..if we have to go onto campus to get tickets, where the heck do we park?
Or do we just ride our bikes over there?
If you’re coming after 4:00, you can park anywhere on campus without a parking pass. If that doesn’t work, you can take the free CCTMA shuttle from downtown Decatur to various points on campus. http://transportation.emory.edu/transportation/cliff/CCTMA_route.html
Can non-Emory people just take the shuttle from downtown Decatur? You don’t have to have an Emory connection to ride that?
Yup. The shuttles are not just for Emory, they are part of the Clifton Corridor Transport group that’s trying to de-congest the whole area for everyone’s benefit.
They even have a real-time “where’s the shuttle” map, see http://emory.transloc.com/
(there’s an app for that, too)
So can I, as a State of Georgia employee located in the Clifton corridor (I am looking at a Cliff bus right now outside my office window) use the Cliff bus? Even if the state does not contribute to the TMA? Not that I want to give up MARTA!
If you click on Emory’s website and click thru to the venue website, there is a map of public parking decks nearby.
There is also short term free parking outside the box office.
