Twenty-eight states are represented by established and emerging artists at the Atlanta Artists Center & Gallery’s Sixth Annual Juried Exhibition. The exhibition includes current art trends around the country and is composed of over 65 exciting, diverse works in a number of styles that vary from cutting edge to traditional.
The show is chaired by Donna Thomas of The Art School in Sandy Springs, and was organized by over 20 AAC volunteers. “No matter what your taste in art, you will enjoy this show,” promises Ms. Thomas.
Juror Annette Cone-Skelton, President and co-founder of MOCA (The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia), remarked about the excellence and diversity of this year’s work and the challenge she was presented with in selecting the works to be exhibited.
Through September 29. The opening reception is catered by Basil’s and features live music from Julie Gribble.
