ARTLANTIS, GATHER Atlanta, Monet and Misrach

Saturday’s not even here yet, but I’m already exhausted by all of it’s possibilities.

First things first: ARTLANTIS. ARTLANTIS is Beep Beep Gallery’s outdoor ode to the underground. The lowbrow gallery celebrates all things subterranean and artistic this Saturday from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. with a free festival on the lawn of the Druid Hills Baptist Church on Ponce. From the horse’s mouth:

There will be artist tents, grilled food (meat and veggie), live music, and more! And Aurora Coffee will be on hand with the world’s most delicious ice coffee. And it’s all taking place at the heart of the city between Little Five Points, Virginia Highlands, and downtown!

Live music’s scheduled every hour on the hour from 11 a.m.-6 p.m., and includes performances from Book of Colors, Ocha La Rocha and Judi Chicago, among others. And what about the artists, you say? Look out for Travis Dodd, Lucha, Oliver, and so many, many more. Not enough info for ya? Pop over to ARTLANTIS’ blog.

Second things second: GATHER Atlanta. Billed as an “emerging creatives conference,” GATHER Atlanta’s bringing together the thinkers, doers and lovers of burgeoning local artists.
