As the City Sleeps Friday May 11th,2012 -7p-11p
Mint will be hosting As The City Sleeps, a group show curated by Atlanta artists, Brandi Supra and Sean Fahie.

Here is a write up that Mint wrote about the show: “As The City Sleeps, is an exhibit concept developed over a year that will feature up and coming artists Emily Pidgeon, Estela Semeco, Jane Garver, Nikita Gale, and Will Mitchell. As The City Sleeps, is a group show hosted by MINT Gallery on Saturday, May 12th, 2012. Curated by Atlanta artists, Brandi Supra and Sean Fahie, As The City Sleeps, is an exhibit concept developed over a year that will feature up and coming artists Emily Pidgeon, Estela Semeco, Jane Garver, Nikita Gale, and Will Mitchell. “Night,” is defined as the time of darkness between one day and the next.  The time of day when no light from the sun can be seen.  Examples to describe “Night,” are, “It is not safe to go outside at nighttime,” or, “The animal hunts in the nighttime.”  This show will be a setting in which a conglomerate collection of human interactions at this said time of day are shown.  Completed in the artists’ own manifestations, they are interactions ranging from recreation, to things possibly of a sinister nature, to nothing occurring at all.  Inspired by the city of Atlanta itself, and the ever changing actions of it, ourselves, atmosphere, and those around us, the artists in “As the City Sleeps,” were told to visually express and interpret their thoughts on this very concept of night. “What are one’s expectations when going out?”  “What do people do?”  “Where do they do these things?”  Whether broad or specific, the goal was to incorporate a wide variety of artists who each specialize in a different medium and unique style.  All friends of the curators, each brought something different to the table. They took a simple concept and explored its complexity.  A natural event, something that happens in the same period of time each and every day explored through drawing, painting, and video. “- Mint Gallery

Check it out, there are going to be a lot of amazing artists showing that night.

The Atlanta Fringe Festival is this weekend! May 9th-13th!

The Atlanta Fringe has been a labor of love for a small group of enthusiastic arts and Atlanta lovers. Est summer of 2010, they’ve been envisioning, constructing, and selling the Fringe from the ground up, using very little monetary resources and Facebook to get the word out. This grassroots approach has lent the festival its own unique energy and it has taken on a life of its own in the year we’ve been building it. We hope for even more of that energy and growth in years to come!

Check here for more information and the schedule by venue or date!
