In keeping with a Bohemian artistic spirit, the work is free spirited with vibrant colors and a mix of mediums. A highlight of the show is a display of costumes from The Atlanta Opera, which begins the 2010/11 season with "La Boheme".  The French word bohémien was used to refer to gypsies. As gypsies are associated with a wild and free life apart from rigid society, the name came to be associated with the counter-culture of young artists and other rebels in the Latin Quarter of 19th century Paris.
