This evening, Athens citizens and
visitors are invited to enjoy several art venues for the monthly event Third
Thursday. This event was started six years ago in order to “encourage
attendance at Athens’ established art venues through coordination and
co-promotion by the organizing entities.”
Among the participants are the
Lamar Dodd School of Art Galleries, Lyndon House Arts Center, ATHICA: Athens
Institute for Contemporary Art, Ciné, Hotel Indigo, the Classic Center and the
Georgia Museum of Art. The bridging of these venues helps showcase the
abundance of options that visitors have to choose from when seeking visual arts
in the Athens area.
The event, expectedly, happens on
the third Thursday of every month, with a changing roster of exhibitions and
events. This month, visitors can choose between five venues with a varied
selection of shows. While two of the venues are closed, there is no shortage of
choice for Athens area art lovers.
Among others, the Classic Center is
boasting a new show on contemporary quilts (“Stitch”), Hotel Indigo is
presenting an installation titled “Pillow Fight,” Lyndon House Arts Center is
showing works by Vernon Thornsberry and the Georgia Museum of Art is displaying
three temporary exhibitions. With such a diverse collection, there is truly
something to fit everyone’s interests.
In addition to the exhibitions, the
Georgia Museum of Art is also providing a free yoga class in its galleries
starting at 6 p.m. This program is led by instructors from Five Points Yoga and
is open to visitors with all levels of experience.
