To do in Atlanta Thursday May 6, Art & Architecture

If all goes well, the Architecture Tourists will be out this Thursday night for 3+ free events. There are review questions at the end of this post.


The Georgia Trust is hosting a series of events for National Preservation Month. It's all free as near as I can tell.

I'm hoping to attend a presentation, "...and the first runner up is ... the Split-Level House" by Richard Cloues. It's at 5:45 at Rhodes Hall, Atlanta's premiere (and maybe only) Richardson Romanesque mansion. This is a an architecture "2-fer." You probably won't see this one:
PB071166-Decatur-Yellow-Palm-House-PalmLion-Detail

Of course May 6 features the First Thursday Buckhead Art Stroll, 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. We'll start on Bennett Street. There are always some opening receptions on First Thursday's. That means snacks and drinks, and fresh art and meeting the artists in person.
This is Anne Irwin Fine Art:
P6040340-Anne-Irwin-Fine-Art--Anne-Neilson-Opening-Party

And Maitre Gallery:
PC112241-2009-12-11-Matre-Gallery-Filer-Zen

By the time we've seen these and other Bennett Street galleries we'll need a break.

So we'll hop in the car and head to Westside's White Provision where Astolfi Art is hosting a reception for "BOSQUE 2," an exhibition of works by contemporary artists
Luis Garcia-Nerey and Anke Schofield.

From a prior Astolfi event:

Who knows? You might run into some of your buds. (David Lewis and Katherine at the Thornton Dial show at White Provision.)
