Artworks



=Artworks=

This past Sunday I attended a new gallery event in Atlanta. This event took place at Artworks located off Howell Mill Road. Admission was free, and the show included jury selected artists. When you walked inside the building, the place looked like a warehouse. Booths were set up to showcase the many artists. The type of art included in the show was painting, photography, mixed media, pottery, sculpture, wood, jewelry, and printmaking. They had a little bit of everything to accommodate all interests. As I walked around, I talked to a few of the artists there. I discovered that this was the first event of this type at this venue. The atmosphere was very relaxed, and the artists were more than happy to talk about their work. One artist’s work was reminiscent of Howard Finster. Another artist used pieces of fabric and created landscape collages and you could not tell until you were up close. Another artist used pencil to create amazing realistic drawings. Most of the work was available for purchase. At times, I felt pressure to buy some artwork. Being a poor college student, I was not in the market to buy although most of the prices were reasonable. In summary, I had an enjoyable experience. It was fascinating to see the various types of artwork. Each booth had individuality and creativity. On the way out the door, I was already brainstorming ideas of what unique piece of work I could generate of my own. I challenge you to go this gallery event and not be inspired to do the same.
