 News and Updates...

 

ATLart[08] is the fifth annual city-wide celebration of the visual arts in Atlanta. Conceived of and spearheaded by the Atlanta Gallery Association, a consortium of 21 of the city's fine art dealers, they have taken the lead in focusing on and highlighting the depth and breadth of the numerous visual arts opportunities around Atlanta. ATLart [08] has expanded its outreach and this year it covers 110 galleries, museums, schools and non-profits so that area residents and visitors can be made aware of the vibrant arts scene that reaches every neighborhood. Atlanta offers a wide variety of interesting,
high quality art, from edgy and alternative to traditional and decorative and you are invited to experience the welcoming atmosphere of venues near you, as well as those in parts of town you have yet to explore, not just in February but all year round. Step out and see that Atlanta has visual arts truly
worth celebrating!

No commission is charged by AAC for the library solo exhibits, and if the exhibiting artist is an AAC member, the library exhibit counts as an outside exhibit. If desired by the artist, AAC volunteers are available to help solo artists install and take down their exhibit.


* VOLUNTEERS ALWAYS NEEDED*: It would help to have another AAC volunteer to head up the three 2008 receptions in May, October and December with Jodie. And, for the installation/take downs on the dates listed above, we love our seasoned volunteers, as well as new ones. When you go to the library, please thank head librarian, Nancy Powers, as well as her staff for letting artists show their works in this venue.
