Cecil R. Coke, Jr., President of Riverside Cemetery is our honoree at Taste of the Arts 2011. During Cecil's 37-year tenure at the helm, he has modernized the ship from an antiquated vessel with handwritten records and swing blade grass cutters to a sleek, modern ultra- voyager with state of the art electronic data storage and a repository and purveyor of arts, history and 123 acres of green space along the Ocmulgee. You are invited to make a donation in his honor by   clicking here.

Presented by Macon Arts Alliance and sponsored by Capital City Bank, this year's Taste of the Arts promises a festive time for all and an opportunity to support over 50 local arts and culture organizations!

Celebrity chefs compete with their best sweet and savory creations, which attendees enjoy sampling along with drinks, music and a silent auction.

This year, our celebrity chefs are spirits Solomon Humphreys, a 19th century free person of color (channeled by Harold Goodridge, business editor for The Telegraph) & 19th century travel writer Anne Royalls (channeled by Liz Fabian, online journalist for The Telegraph & broadcast journalist for News Talk Central, Fox 24).
