This Saturday (Oct. 10), in addition to a football game, there is a reception and talks by participating artists at the Madison Museum of Fine Art, in Madison, Ga., for the exhibition Making Masters: Selected Works by MFA Students at the Lamar Dodd School of Art at UGA. The exhibition includes works by nine young artists: Doug Barton, Denton Crawford, Jody Fang, Helen Farmer, Craig Hawkins, Layet Johnson, An Pham, Marie Porterfield and Chase Westfall, all of whom are second-year students in the Lamar Dodd School of Art's MFA program. The exhibition was organized by Dr. Asen Kirin and installed by Jeffrey Whittle, both of whom have strong GMOA connections.
Also Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., at Buffalo's Southwest Café (in the Beechwood Shopping Center) is a one-day art show and sale put on by the Athens Art Association to celebrate its 90th anniversary. Browse through the selection of paintings, prints, fiber art, photographs and more or participate in the silent auction.
And finally, opening at 10:30 a.m. and going until at least 9 p.m., you can also hit up the North Georgia Folk Festival on Saturday at Sandy Creek Park. The festival is mostly known for its showcasing of traditional music, but there are also numerous art and craft demonstrations and vendors, including Cotton Patch Quilters, Peter Loose, Jim Richardson, Jamie Calkin, Will Langford, Charlie Rakestraw and Susan Staley. Admission is $10 per person for adults, $5 for students and free for kids under 12.
We don't know of anything in particular going on Friday or Sunday (let us know if you do), but Saturday looks to be busy!
