DELIUS GENERAL MANAGER Mr. Arthur Sanders Arts Festival of Atlanta, Inc. Box 7432, Station C Atlanta, Georgia 30309 Dear Mr. Sanders: It was my pleasure meeting with you and Mr. Bill Finch on Friday, April 14 to discuss the possibility of developing a master plan for the renovation of Piedmont Park and more particularly making provisions for certain facilities nece ssary for the successful continuation of the annual Arts Festival at Piedmont Park. It would be our pleasure to work with a group of architects and landscape architects in developing the best possible plan and design for the improvement of Piedmont Park. This department's planning staff is so over-loaded at the present time that we would welcome outside assistance; and, we would be able to defray costs of blueprinting, etc. I believe that a permanent performing arts area which would include a stage, dressing facilities, audience seating, lighting and control features, etc. would be a valuable addition to the park in that it could serve not only the Arts Festival but many other groups throughout the year. Just l e t us know when you would like to meet again and to discuss at length the development of a master plan and thanking you again for your continued interest and assistance, I am Cordially, J ack C. Delius General Manager of Parks a nd Recreati on JCD: b jw cc : Mr. James H. Finch,FAIA Mr. Joe Perrin, Head , Arts Dept,. Ga. State College Hon.
