Now through September 6th, head over to the Spruill Center for the Arts and take in the show “Solace” by Atlanta artist Lisa Alembik. Gestural, textured and haunted- Lisa’s work is amazing and feels right at home in the Spruill’s weathered farmhouse walls. Be sure to also check out Lisa’s intricate and detailed drawings, lovingly housed in three custom Re:Paper books (crafted and bound by yours truly)!

What could be better than hiding out from the heat of a Atlanta summer day in the cool air of a classic neighborhood bar, shopping for local art? Nothing! At least nothing next Sunday when you’ll find just such an event at Manuel’s Tavern. Come out and meet some talented local artists and crafters, we’ll be set up in Manuel’s (602 N. Highland) on Sunday the 27th from 12-4pm. Whether you have birthdays to buy for, want to get a jump start on Christmas, or just want to burn up the last of that stimulus check you could do worse than to spend an afternoon kicking back with a beer and supporting handmade art. Hope to see you there!

Come on out to Atlantic Station Friday night, July 18th and meet the ladies and gents of the Atlanta Craft Mafia! We’ll be selling our wonderful handmade art 5-11pm, which gives you plenty of time to catch dinner and a movie and still shop the market. Hope to see you there!
