More details, images and events after the jump.

SATURDAY
As part of the larger, all-day Westside Art Walk, Mike Germon is opening a new body of work entitled Glyph at Octane Coffee.
The Museum of Design Atlanta is getting a new set of wheels when Skate It or Hang It!? The Evolution of Skateboard Art opens, which includes board art from the '70s to the present. (Check out our write-up here.)
The World Wide Art Federation is presenting Bellum Artis at The Goat Farm, opening at 8 p.m. Artis is an art competition which, in the words of WWAF, "challenges artists to act as gladiators in a cage fight with paint brushes, pencils, skill, and overt verbal jabs."
- Rep. John Lewis
Last, but never least, Congressman John Lewis will be at St. John's Lutheran Church from 2-4 p.m. to speak about his book Across That Bridge, detailing Lewis' perspective as one of the last living Civil Rights leaders.
