Uncategorized Weekend Arts Agenda: Walking shoes
Posted by Wyatt Williams @wyatt_williams on Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 3:42 PM
Break out the walking shoes this weekend. The Westside Art District will be leading crowds from gallery to gallery for a sequence of artist talks and the Wonderroot folks are calling out for artists and art-lovers to help with their pedestrian friendly project, Art Sign the Beltline 2.0 at Eyedrum. Clare Rojas quietly opens a show this weekend at the ACA gallery, too. Check out a full weekend of events after the jump.
California-based artist Clair Rojas will show a collection of prints, paintings, and sculptures at The Atlanta College of Art Gallery. The show, Through the Woods, opens today but a reception won't be held until April 1, when Rojas is on hand to perform as her banjo-picking alter ego, Peggy Honeywell.
The Ready Set Read series continues at Whitespace gallery tonight, featuring a reading from poet Sabrina Orah Mark. A letterpress book created for this evening will be given away during the reading. You can read an excerpt from her first collection of prose poems, The Babies.
Saturday
The Westside Arts District hosts their monthly Art Walk on Saturday. Artists Gyun Hur, Jiha Moon, and Susan Robert will give a sequence of talks, beginning at 1 pm at Get This Gallery and ending at Sandler Hudson at 4 pm. More details at WAD.
By now, you've probably seen the hand painted signs that now mark the future intersections of Atlanta's Beltline. Art Sign the Beltline 2.0 intends to repeat and expand that experiment. Anyone and everyone is invited to eyedrum to paint signs at noon. The painted signs will be distributed throughout Atlanta Saturday night.
Robert Hartle Jr. will be signing copies of his new book, The Highs & Lows of Little Five: A History of Little Five Points, at the Eagle Eye Book Store at 3 pm.
The annual Skullfuck group show is back, now in it's third installment, at the Eastside Lounge. The massive list of participating artists include local greats like R Land, Born, and Never. The party starts at 7 pm.
Continuing
Olaf Hajek's Masquerade continues at Marcia Wood until March 20. Read a review of his new book, Flowerhead.
Justin Richel's Columns, Stacks, and Heaps continues at Young Blood until Feb. 28. Justin Richel answered some questions about his work earlier this week on Culture Surfing.
The Pine Porfolio Series continues at Picaflor until March 4.
