There's a diverse selection of art events happening this weekend, starting this evening, with the grand opening of the brand-new Anchor Gallery, which is also a tattoo parlor, at 660 W. Broad, near the intersection with Finley. The opening will take place from 6 to 10 p.m. and conclude with an after-party at Ben's Bikes, downstairs. You can find more detail on the Facebook event page.
Also tonight, from 6 to 8 p.m., the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation's annual Southworks festival kicks off with a gala reception for the National Juried Art Exhibition (up until May 8 in the Main Gallery). Next door, in the Members Gallery, is the Directors Choice Exhibit of work by Wintervillian and UGA BFA alum Otto Lange (above), which runs through May 2. Both exhibits will be on display normal gallery hours (Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and each day during the Art Market, which takes place next month on May 1 and 2. This year's juror for the exhibition is Catherine Fox, ex of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and lately of ArtsCriticATL.com.
