You can check out a couple small scans of the spread after the jump, but you'll have to pick up a copy of the issue to fully appreciate the evening-dress and big-hat glory.

Since Cosby = unbridled heaps of truth at all times, it seems the new MINT Gallery space will be super rad.

Visual Arts / speakeasy / Events / Livin' the Dream / Community / Uncategorized Dashboard Co-op breaks for artists
Posted by Debbie Michaud on Sun, Mar 14, 2010 at 3:37 PM
Meet Courtney and Beth. They like art. What's more, they like artists. And Atlanta. So they started Dashboard Co-op, a virtual gallery intended to promote and create more opportunities for local artists. They also throw parties — Dash hosts its coming out party Sat., March 20 at the Blue Tower Gallery with music (Jeffrey Butzer & Tom Cheshire, Walker Talbott, Joseph War, DJ Luis Ponce and the Back Pockets), art, dancing, motorcycles and fire(!). (Beth also places in fiction contests.)
What’s Dashboard Co-op and who’s behind the wheel?
Courtney Hammond: Dashboard is an arts empowerment cooperative. We work alongside other nonprofits, publications, galleries and artists in an effort to better streamline arts initiatives in Atlanta. By connecting everyone involved and playing the role of mediator, we think we’ll have a stronger influence on the city as a whole.
Beth Malone: Simply put, we’re an online art gallery that promotes artists to spur creative momentum and, hopefully, lucrative opportunity. Court’s a sculptor, I’m a writer; we’re capable people but still have a hard time getting our work recognized, let alone purchased, without help.
We started Dash because we want to help artists support themselves financially through their work. One of the site’s artists has already caught the eye of an international collector! Yay Emily! Ok, collector is a loose term. It’s my friend Paul who moved to Thailand to smoke weed without hassle. Nonetheless, he’s got dough and, after checking out our site, he’s giving it to an ATL artist.
