Technically I should have started this post with the Beep Beep opening from last Saturday; luckily Christa beat met to the punch and alerted everyone, on schedule. The opening was fun and claustrophobic, but the show itself is worth going to outside of social hour.
Well, looking ahead… this week is full of all kinds of drama and delight in terms of artistic affairs.
The Dalton Gallery at Agnes Scott is having an opening on Thursday night from 6-8 pm for The Possibility of Framing Infinity. The show will feature work by Jeremy Chance, Marcia Cohen, Sarah Emerson, Sally Heller, Colleen Lynch, Kristine Moran, John Otte, and Caomin Xie.

Also this Thursday night, The Contemporary will be hosting Artist Survival Skills at 7pm. Artist Survival Skills is one of my favorite things that the Contemporary does: a curator picks artists to do fifteen minute talks each on their work. I like this because it is a good way to become more familiar with Atlanta artists. This week Marianne Lambert (local goddess, current curator for Swan Coach House Gallery) has curated the lectures. The artists will be Anita Arliss, Tae Earle Jackson, Suellen Parker, and Pandra Williams.

And saving the best for last, the Art Papers Auction is this Saturday! This is one of my favorite events of the year, and I am as excited as ever that it has arrived again. Every year the amount of work, and good work at that, is exceptional and this year the show is actually juried and had to go through an application process. The head of the board who chose this years participants is the owner of Whitespace Gallery, Susan Bridges, which means that taste is on our side. This year they have also added an online preview catalog so that you can begin looking at what you will fantasize over on Saturday night. The event is $25, but I think totally worth it.
Here are some of the items I have picked to begin swooning over well in advance:
