Art Around Athens



Tonight, from 7 to 9 p.m., is a reception for the third (and final?) round of BFA students at the Lamar Dodd School of Art: Interior Design, Ceramics, Fabrics, and Jewelry/Metals.



At the same time is an opening reception at the Monroe Art Guild for Project 365, an exhibition featuring photography by Stephanie Roberts, which will run through June 25.



And, slightly earlier, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., another opening reception at the Oconee County Library for Home and Away: Fine Art Photography from the Athens/Oconee Area and the World, an exhibition featuring work by Sally Ross.

On Saturday, May 9, at 11 a.m. at Don Byram Art in Commerce, there's an opening reception for the 2009 juried exhibition of the Athens Photography Guild.

And on Sunday, May 10, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., is the opening reception for Mikalsen Returns, an exhibition of flower photographs by Ted Mikalsen at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. Initially trained at the Southeastern Center for Photographic Arts, Mikalsen was first inspired by urban landscapes, graffiti, and neon lights. Mikalsen hopes his "photographs of flowers have in a modest way revealed and preserved the intimate form and beauty of their subjects." The exhibition will be up through Sunday, May 31 in the Visitor Center.

Just because it's the summer and UGA activities quiet down doesn't mean the rest of the area has little going on.
