Emily Amy Gallery presents Down the Rabbit Hole: The Influence of the Strange and the Familiar, an exhibition of new works by Georgia-based artists Jennifer Cawley and Zuzka Vaclavik and New York-based Cara Enteles. The exhibition features multi-media works incorporating encaustic, plexiglas and watercolor.

The title of the exhibition, Down the Rabbit Hole, alludes to the concept of the unexplained, the strange, and the fantastical all of which are present in the work of the included artists. Working in a variety of new media, the three women explore the bizarre by utilizing jarring color, unrecognizable shapes, and non-sensical narrative. Albeit strange, the works having a striking familiarity at the same time challenging the viewer to ponder the meaning hidden beneath the imaginative facade.

Through October 23. Artist Talks take place on September 18 from 3-4 p.m. in conjunction with the Westside Art District’s 3rd Saturday Art Walk.

Cecelia Kane is the featured artist in “Mission Accomplished” at ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art, where her Hand to Hand Project is on exhibition until September 26. Begun at the start of the Iraq war in 2003, Kane opened the project to contributions from other artists in 2006. Each artist has created a hand-based piece for each day of a week based on the news coming out of Iraq. The project is now made up of work by an international group of nearly 200 artists of all levels and disciplines and has been shown throughout the U.S.

There is an artists and curators Walk and Talk on Thursday, Sept. 2 from 7-8 p.m. at ATHICA. “Mission Accomplished” will be on display at ATHICA through Sept. 26.
