Indie Crafts and Tibetan Monks!

So even though indie crafts and Tibetan monks do not seem like they could have anything at all in common - they do! At least you can see both this weekend in Atlanta at a couple of very unique art events...

The Indie Craft Experience will host its Holiday Shopping Spectacular this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Ambient Plus Studio. This event is not your typical craft fair - the items on sale have a much hipper, more punk-rock edge than traditional crafts, and you can take part in craft workshops, sample vegan treats and enjoy live music while you're there. Visit AtlantaPlanIt.com for more info or click here to read more about the event on PBA's Web site and to watch a video that aired on PBA 30's "This is Atlanta with Alicia Steele."

Also on Saturday from 12 to 2 p.m., at the Unity North Atlanta Church in Marietta, you can watch as Tibetan monks construct a mandala using millions of grains of colored sand. A mandala is a concentric diagram that, in the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddism, involves sandpainting as part of the practice of meditation. On this last day of the event, you can watch as the monks create this magnificent piece of art that is meant to represent the cosmos.

If you attend this weekend, let me know what you thought and share your photos on Lens!

It's Indoors...and it's Free!

Happy New Year everyone! As I woke up this morning and again saw the news report sub-freezing temperatures, I thought that I'd concentrate on indoor activities for this post.

And considering that most people (myself included) probably spent more money than they'd have liked to over the holidays, I thought I'd let you know about a couple of exhibits at libraries in town that don't have any cost for admission.

In order to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the book "On the Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin and the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, Emory University is currently presenting the exhibit "Origin" at its Robert W. Woodruff Library. The exhibit includes works by artists who were inspired by the themes of creation and evolution and includes a rare first edition of the book signed by Darwin. I definitely suggest checking it out if you get a chance.

And at the Atlanta-Fulton County Public Library's Central Branch, you can view a retrospective of the work of Marcel Breuer, one of the most influential architects and designers of the 20th century, and the man who designed the Central Branch building itself. Included in the exhibit are displays of 12 of Breuer's most famous buildings, as well as most of the major items of his furniture design. I think this exhibit is especially cool because you get to see other works by this master designer, while you're actually standing in one of his designs!

I hope everyone has a chance to get out this weekend, and if you do, please stay safe and try to stay warm!

ART PAPERS Eleventh Annual Art Auction

ART PAPERS will host its annual art auction tomorrow (February 6) at Mason Murer Fine Art's Main Gallery. (Click here for more info.)

The auction will include works by Atlanta artists and international artists as well, so it's definitely a must-attend if you're a collector looking for new works. But even if you don't collect, the auction's a great opportunity to check out some cool contemporary art and help support ART PAPERS too.

For those who aren't familiar with ART PAPERS, it's a non-profit organization with a mission to provide an independent and accessible forum for the exchange of perspectives on the role of contemporary art as a socially relevant and engaged discourse. To further this mission, the organization publishes ART PAPERS magazine, now in its 33rd year. It's distributed throughout the U.S. and is available at Barnes & Noble, Borders, Books-a-Million and other bookstores and museum shops.

Tickets to the auction on Saturday are only $25 per person, which is extremely reasonably priced for an art auction. And if you've never been to one, it would be a great way to impress a date if you want to get a heads start on Valentine's Day...

Phoenix Flies into Atlanta

Beginning this weekend and continuing through March 22, you can check out more than 160 free events, including everything from guided tours to lectures to open houses, at dozens of Atlanta's historic sites.

The Phoenix Flies: A Citywide Celebration of Living Landmarks, presented by the Atlanta Preservation Center, is designed to show the extent to which preservation is a part of Atlanta's fabric and contributes to the city's character and quality of life.

This celebration started back in 2003, when the Atlanta Preservation Center commemorated the 25th anniversary of the year the Fabulous Fox Theatre was saved from being demolished.

The Atlanta Preservation Center chose the name in honor of the mythical bird that rises from the ashes, as Atlanta did after The Civil War. The bird has also been featured on the city seal since 1887.

Partners include the Fabulous Fox Theatre (of course!), The Wren's Nest, Historic Oakland Cemetery, Rhodes Hall, the Atlanta History Center, Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, the Herndon Home and more.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to share in Atlanta's history! And since I'm a sucker for trivia, please let me know if you find out any interesting fun facts about the city at any of the events...

American Craft Council Show

The American Craft Council Show is back in Atlanta this weekend at the Cobb Galleria, featuring works by more than 200 artists.

If you're an arts and crafts lover, this show is a must-attend. You can browse through everything from jewelry and clothes to home accessories and one-of-a-kind sculptural works and meet the artists too.

This year the show includes Green Craft artists who made all of their work using recycled and eco-friendly materials, and Callanwolde Fine Arts Center will also be there with live craft demonstrations and workshops for kids if you're taking the whole family.

The show is this weekend only, so be sure not to miss it!

The Perfect Storm...

So, apparently all of the festival organizers in Atlanta decided to schedule their events this weekend...I'm not complaining, but it's just plain crazy how much is going on. It's going to make deciding what to do that much harder, but it's definitely a nice problem to have.

Two of the "big gun" festivals are back this weekend - the Atlanta Dogwood Festival (returning to Piedmont Park for its 74th year) and the Georgia Renaissance Festival (opening day is Saturday).

But there are a whole bunch of others to choose from too. Just click the names below for more info.

2010 Atlanta Film Festival at Landmark Midtown Cinema
Earth Day Kids Fest at the Chattahoochee Nature Center
Sheep to Shawl at Atlanta History Center
Taste of West Cobb at The Avenue West Cobb
Big Shanty Festival at The Depot in Kennesaw
SweetWater 420 Fest in Candler Park

Absolutely no excuses! Get out there this weekend...Just take an umbrella in case of April showers.

2nd Friday Art Stroll in Castleberry Hill

Tonight from 7 to 10 p.m. you can check out one of the city's most robust and popular art districts, Castleberry Hill, at the neighborhood's 2nd Friday Art Stroll.

Every second Friday of the month, a bunch of the galleries and restaurants in the area open their doors to visitors so that they can explore the artwork for sale and hear talks and lectures by the artists themselves. And in conjunction with the Art Stroll, tonight Castleberry Point will host An Evening of Art, Movies and Wine with an open-air screening of the movie "Sideways" with wine tastings.

A map of participating galleries is available online.

And if you aren't able to make it tonight, below are links to some of the exhibits that are on display at the galleries this weekend in case you'd like to check them out on Saturday.

Memory Flash in Old Fourth Ward

This Saturday in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood, Flux Projects will present a unique art experience titled "Memory Flash" from 5 to 9 p.m.

Flux Projects is a local organization whose mission is to support artists in creating innovative temporary public art throughout Atlanta. Their events reach out far beyond traditional arts venues and are likely to catch you off-guard. (Which of course is part of the fun.)

"Memory Flash" is the first of a series of public interventions by artist collective John Q. Through performance, installation and film projection, John Q will present moments from personal stories and historical events, collected from the Atlanta History Center's "Unspoken Past Oral History Project" and from news reports.

This project is intended to help people who witness these representations to create their own new memories based on Atlanta's LGBTQ past.

The event will begin in the Old Fourth Ward, then move up Ponce de Leon Avenue to the ballparks at Piedmont Park, and finally to Mixx in Ansley Square. As the project moves, the audience will experience a number of moments from Atlanta's LGBTQ past, including what happened when Andy Warhol's film "Lonesome Cowboys" was first screened in Atlanta.

I definitely suggest checking this out on Saturday. And if you do, John Q wants you to take your own photos of the event and post them to the John Q site. And be sure to post them on Lens too!

It's May! Already!!

The month of May has always been a big one for me. My birthday is the 18th, my sister's is the 9th, and my mom's is the 23rd. Not to mention Mother's Day... I know, my poor Dad right?

May is also always when I really feel like spring has arrived, and judging from a lot of the events going on this weekend, seems like I'm not the only one.

Here are just a few of the special springtime events that you can check out this weekend to usher in the season:

Atlanta Jazz Festival - 31 Days of Jazz
pARTy for ART with Dance Canvas
Art in the Afternoon: An Artful Spring in DeKalb's Rail Arts District
May-retta Daze Arts & Crafts Festival in Marietta Square
Concerts on the Square in Decatur Square

Make the Most of Your Memorial Day Weekend

If you're like me and are staying in town to avoid the travel craziness this weekend, you might be interested in things to do to help you make the most of the holiday.

I figured I'd separate my recommendations into Memorial Day-related and non-Memorial Day-related events in case you'd like to do a little of both.

To help celebrate Memorial Day with the family, I'd suggest checking out Veterans Remembrance Day at the Atlanta History Center on Sunday or visiting Underground Atlanta to take their "From Civil War to Civil Rights Guided History Tour" through downtown. Or you can learn about Atlanta's Civil War history at the Atlanta Cyclorama in Grant Park or at the Civil War battleground at the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield.

And on Monday, the Atlanta Wind Symphony will perform patriotic music at Roswell City Hall for their Roswell Remembers - Memorial Day concert.

There are also a bunch of cool festivals and other special events going on this weekend that you can check out - including the Georgia Renaissance Festival, which is open on Monday.

There's also the Decatur Arts Festival all weekend around the Decatur Square, the Atlanta Jazz Festival in Piedmont Park, and the Atlanta Caribbean Carnival in the Historic Sweet Auburn District. And for some adult fun, Brew at the Zoo is back at Zoo Atlanta on Saturday.

So, there's absolutely no excuse not to a have an awesome time this weekend - even if you stay in town!

It's Your Last Chance...

Even though it's the beginning of June, it's also your last chance to check out some local festivals, theatre shows and visual art exhibits that are closing this weekend.

I figured I'd give you a quick rundown of a couple things that are closing so that you won't miss them. Some of these events have been going on for months, and others just a couple of weeks, but either way they're worth a visit.

ArtSSpring 2010 - A city-wide celebration of the arts in Sandy Springs
Art in the Afternoon: An Artful Spring - A monthly evening art walk through the Rail Arts District in Avondale Estates
Georgia Renaissance Festival - If you don't know what this is, you must be new in town.
Cyberchase: The Chase Is On! - An exhibit at Imagine It! The Children's Museum of Atlanta based on the PBS Kids math-mystery cartoon
Buddy: the Buddy Holly Story - A musical about the legendary rock icon presented by Georgia Ensemble Theatre at the 14th Street Playhouse
Decatur Arts Festival 2010: Fine Arts Exhibition - Even through the festival had its big event last weekend, this juried multimedia exhibit at Agnes Scott College's Dalton Gallery runs through Sunday.
Stellaluna - A Center for Puppetry Arts show based on the popular children's book
Contract Killings - This visual art exhibit at Beep Beep Gallery closes on Sunday, but you should definitely also check out Beep Beep's Artlantis festival on Saturday at Druid Hills Baptist Church.
