Georgia Legacy Foundation

About Me


GEORGIA LEGACY FOUNDATION MISSION STATEMENT
The Georgia Legacy Foundations mission is to recognize, protect, preserve, and promote Georgia’s Roots music artists and to do so with a historical, ethnic and regional perspective. GLF, Inc. will utilize the highest professional entertainment artists with superior standards and policies. We intend to create on-going situations of support for artists, while offering enlightenment and entertainment to the public. We will strive to create uniquely designed opportunities for industry representatives to witness and embrace available talent. Our goal is to acknowledge and celebrate the authentic indigenous artists of our state. By these stated goals, we aspire to promote Atlanta and the state of Georgia as important contributing cultural centers of the nation.
GEORGIA LEGACY FOUNDATION VISION
Our vision is to create an environment of greater appreciation for and acknowledgement of quality artists who continue to create exceptional music of historical content, yet have not achieved commercial success, industry acceptance, or adequate public exposure. Georgia Legacy Foundation represents a unique approach to charitable organizations and the entertainment industry. After thirty years of performing and being taught by the great blues artists of our time, CEO and founder Sammy Blue recognized a serious need for new avenues to assist talented artists with their careers and quality of life. Since most artists do not have easy access to agents, managers, and record companies, a great many of them do not receive the opportunities for maximum exposure. Our goal is to create and maintain viable methods of showcasing artists. We intend to create educational programs for the public, as well as, business and medical services for artists. Our work will include documentation of artists by filming and recording their live performances. These films and recordings will be donated to the artist free of charge. The artists will own all rights to their work, and they will be able to use these materials for promotion and sales. GLF, Inc. intends to celebrate older, established artists and present-day stars. We hope to create a situation where the artists of the future will have clearer paths to successful careers and lives.
