Weekend Arts Agenda: Ugly sweaters, good art December 18 2009
I know what you're thinking. You've picked out your favorite ugly sweater, chugged a few rounds of eggnog, and now you're looking for the right thing to do. Atlanta's got plenty of options for you this weekend, not the least of which is the Westside Arts Walk. WAD got a nice write up in the New York Times last month, suggesting a bit of rivalry between this "upstart" scene and Castleberry Hill. Is it really the more intellectual neighborhood of the two, as that NYTimes article claims? You probably should go quaff some white wine, listen to Katherine Mitchell, and decide for yourself.
Check out our list of events after the jump.
