More than 375 Atlantans enjoyed the Passport to Celebrations opening night party held at the Atlanta History Center. The kick-off event was a celebration of unique and exquisite tablescapes of holidays from around the world, which were created by more than 25 of Atlanta’s premier designers. International cuisine by Affairs to Remember complemented the global display of holidays. Atlanta History Center President Sheffield Hale was in attendance, and the event was chaired by Debbie Neese and Karen Spiegel. Curators Marianne Lambert and Anne Lambert Tracht also curated an exhibition artwork by international artists who call Atlanta home.
