Art Around Athens



It's a busy Friday for the Lamar Dodd School of Art in particular, which has at least three events going on this evening. In the Bridge Gallery of the East Campus building, there will be an opening reception from 7 to 9 p.m. for an exhibition titled "Material Response: New Work by Melissa Walter," which is only up for a week (until February 25). We don't know much about Walter's work or the exhibition, but it's sure to be interesting.

On the third floor of the building, in the South Wing, from 7 to 10 p.m., the MFA Candidates in Drawing and Painting will host an open house, so you can see their work in progress. And in the same area and at the same time, MFA candidate Marie Porterfield will execute the the performance-art piece "Specters."

This Sunday, February 21, from 2 to 4 p.m., the Lyndon House Arts Center will host the opening reception for its 35th Annual Juried Exhibition, which is always a good time and shows a tremendous range of art in all media from across the community. "Don your finest French Quarter attire in celebration of Mardi Gras and enjoy the festive refreshments!" they say. We've always found it a great buying opportunity as well, as many of the works on display are also for sale. See you there!
