weekend arts agenda Weekend Arts Agenda: Grappling Mandalas, Living Walls Block Party, Burnaway Art Crush Auction
Posted by Egan Short on Fri, Mar 8, 2013 at 9:06 AM
- MARCIA WOOD GALLERY
- "Grappling Mandala: Funk Roll" by Joseph Peragrine
Visit Marcia Wood Gallery from 7 to 10 p.m. tonight for the opening reception for Grappling Mandalas, an exhibition of paintings from Atlanta's own Joseph Peragrine. Wrestlers shapeshift into mandalas, populating a visual experience that promises to be both "entertaining and confounding." The exhibition runs through April 13.

Saturday
- LIVING WALLS, BURNAWAY
Art parties pack Saturday night. Living Walls throws a block party, the likes of which East Atlanta has probably never seen. The schedule starts at noon with a guided tour of the walls and doesn't wrap up until a wopping 14-and-a-half hours later with an after-party at 529. Check out the artist's market, drag show at Mary's, and plenty of drink specials along the way.
From 7 to 10 p.m., Burnaway hosts its Art Crush Auction 2013. Play it right, and you could win a trip to New Orleans, a collection of mail art hailing from Eastern Europe, or an Angus Brown dinner party inspired by the chef's recent trip to Vietnam.
Visit the High for Culture Shock: Fiesta para Frida from 8 p.m. to midnight, featuring live music, table games, and, of course, piñatas, all with "revolutionary style."
Sunday
- AYANAH MOOR
- "Good News" by Ayanah Moor
Close the weekend with the Ayanah Moor exhibition at the Welch School Galleries. The artist in residence works in silk screen, sound, and video stills, among other media. This is the first weekend to see the show - it opened Thursday night.
