Autumn is almost here, and that means the best and most beautiful time of year in Atlanta! If you're like me, you'll find any excuse to go out and do something fun and explore the city this season. I've recently taken quite an interest in the Atlanta art scene and decided to do some research on what stellar art events will be happening in the next few weeks. Here are the top three I found most interesting!
1. "Walker Evans: Depth of Field" (High Museum of Art)
Running from now until September 25th, this exhibit at the ever-classy High Museum of Art features a stunning collection of photographs by influential documentary photographer Walker Evans. The cool thing about this one is, Atlanta is the only U.S. city in which Walker will be displaying his photos! If you love photography, you can't miss this one!
2. "Flashback: Atlanta in the 70's, The Photography of Boyd Lewis" (Atlanta History Center)
Another photography gem I thought sounded awesome is Boyd Lewis's series of photographs and other media documenting the eccentric and controversial decade that was the 1970s in Atlanta. I don't know about you, but I've always been curious about what Atlanta was like at this point in history. It'll be there until January 16, 2017, so make sure to check it out!
3. "I See a Story: The Art of Eric Carle" (High Museum of Art)
Everyone knows this guy's work. He's the talented author and illustrator of books we all read in elementary school such as "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?" His exhibit is running until January 8, 2017, and features his best work as well as some other unique and unseen pieces.
