#GAgives – Continuing Into 2024!

Support Cabbagetown History

Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta Awards Us With a Community Building Grant

The Patch Works is honored to have received another grant award: Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta’s Neighborhood Fund grant! Winning the award puts us one (big) step closer to fulfilling our mission of maintaining Cabbagetown as a strong, cohesive community that is dedicated to preserving its history.

In 2019, the Cabbagetown neighborhood wishes to present R. Cary Bynum’s play Cabbagetown: 3 Women, which the playwright based on the 1976 publication Cabbagetown Families, Cabbagetown Food (a “cookbook” that documented the lives of mill-working families in the community). The neighborhood will mount the play in The Joyce Brookshire Amphitheatre, which, in March 2018, Councilmember Natalyn Archibong formally dedicated to the legendary, Cabbagetown musician Joyce Brookshire (who passed away in 2017). This production will use community-based elements: the amphitheatre (located in Cabbagetown Park), as well as local artists (musicians, actors, stage hands, etc.). In addition, the playwright has given the community his blessing to present the play, which he had previously removed from theatrical circulation. This event will promote community participation, as well as historical education. Three organizations — CICDC, CNIA, and The Patch Works — will be supporting the effort.
