The Georgia Trust is hosting a series of events for National Preservation Month. It's all free as near as I can tell.
I'm hoping to attend a presentation, "...and the first runner up is ... the Split-Level House" by Richard Cloues. It's at 5:45 at Rhodes Hall, Atlanta's premiere (and maybe only) Richardson Romanesque mansion. This is a an architecture "2-fer." You probably won't see this one:
Of course May 6 features the First Thursday Buckhead Art Stroll, 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. We'll start on Bennett Street. There are always some opening receptions on First Thursday's. That means snacks and drinks, and fresh art and meeting the artists in person.
- Matre Gallery features Megan Lightell
- Snapdragon Photography's Jennifer Schwarz Gallery features and Artist Talk and Opening Party for Kindred (Kisa Kavgass and Lori Vrba).
- Anne Irwin Fine Art features Barbara Olsen.
And Maitre Gallery:
By the time we've seen these and other Bennett Street galleries we'll need a break.
So we'll hop in the car and head to Westside's White Provision where Astolfi Art is hosting a reception for "BOSQUE 2," an exhibition of works by contemporary artists
Luis Garcia-Nerey and Anke Schofield.
From a prior Astolfi event:
Who knows? You might run into some of your buds. (David Lewis and Katherine at the Thornton Dial show at White Provision.)
Review:
- Free.
- Art and Artists.
- Architecture.
- Food and Drink.
- Convenient Midtown, south Buckhead, and Westside locations.
- Perfect Atlanta spring evening weather.
See you,
Terry
Oh, no. All of that looks so fun but I'm attending a birthday party for a friend...that is if I can get over this cold that has been lingering around for the last few days. Have fun and post lots of pictures like you always do so I can feel like I was there. :o) -Cristi
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! I'll be at a new parent party for my rising 9th grader, but I did go to a cocktail reception at Belvedere tonight - where Hutton Wilkinson was signing his book More is More. It was lots of fun and the design crowd was out in force.
ReplyDeleteTerry, I drool thinking about it. I will have a brush in my hand tonight, have to work on a commission every spare moment! Hope you take lots of pics. Hugs. T-
