Life on the Westside

Today a special post about all of the things going on this weekend on the Westside...

First, starting this Saturday just across the street from us (!), you can find the new location of Jennifer Schwartz Gallery, which features photography. (Fingers crossed as they are rapidly completing the build-out as we speak!) And this Saturday, from 11 - 5, they will be holding Life Support Japan, a silent auction to benefit relief efforts in Japan. Images will be sold in a special edition of 10 for $50 each. Bids can be placed at the gallery or online.

Please join us in welcoming Jennifer Schwartz Gallery to the Westside as the newest member of the Westside Arts District!

Secondly, we are having an opening on Friday night. It will be Meta Gary's first solo show at the gallery, and the body of work is spectacular. One of the standout pieces is included above, Taking Back the Days. Join us on Friday night from 7 - 10 for cocktails and to meet Meta, a local and native Atlantan!
