Athens Creative Directory

Athens Creative Directory

Thursday, February 13, 2025 from 6:00pm-7:30pm

Invest Athens and Envision Athens are excited to announce the reimagining and relaunch of the Athens Creatives Directory! This online resource hub is a space where Athens' creatives can showcase their talents, find community with other artists, access career resources, and where patrons can easily discover and support local art. From photographers and designers to musicians and beyond, if you're looking to promote your work, this is the best place to showcase your talents. Together, we’re making Athens’ creative economy stronger, and showing that when artists succeed, the whole community thrives. Make Art. Buy Local. That's what we're all about.

To celebrate the directory’s soft launch, please join Invest Athens and Envision Athens at the Lyndon House Arts Center on February 13th from 6pm-7:30pm. The event will include a brief presentation of the new brand foundation and website from Kaptiv8 Marketing as well opportunities to create your profile and join the directory. We hope to see you there!

Imposter Syndrome: Emily Llamazales

February 14, 2025 - April 25, 2025

This exhibition is a site-specific installation in the Lobby Case and a result of the IN CASE proposal process. To learn more about IN CASE, view the application here. Join us for an artist talk on Thursday, March 6, 2025 at 5:30pm.



ON VIEW:

Distillations: Patti Roberts-Pizzuto and Johntimothy Pizzuto

Now through March 15, 2025

North Gallery

Compatriots in art as much as anything else, the two artists share a restrained palette and lightness of touch. Both artists contrast elegant, atmospheric fields of marks alongside crisp manufactured edges, using the formal implications of depth and flatness to explore ideas of memory and temporality. 


ON VIEW:

Twist: Carol John

Now through March 15, 2025

R. Lukasiewicz Gallery

Carol John’s paintings, whether diminutive or grand in scale, are all predicated on repeating marks and shapes. Dots, lines, and squares all multiply to create vibrating forms and surfaces that resonate with playful pop color.


ON VIEW:

Victoria Dugger's Jet Magazine Collection   

Now through March 22, 2025

Community Collections Case

Victoria's collection of Jet Magazines is a testament to the rich tapestry of Black culture, history, and excellence captured through decades of publication. Collecting these magazines is both a personal passion and an act of preservation—each issue a vibrant time capsule of Black life, from the 1950s to the early 2000s.


CLOSING SOON:

fast tracks, ski masks, plaid slacks: Tim Root

Now through February 8, 2024

Lobby Case

Tim Root's playful wooden constructions draw from a comic book aesthetic, featuring humorous yet grotesque characters that are brought to life in bold colors and graphic black outlines. Embracing a DIY ethos, these simple works are made from scrap wood and bits of wire. Intentionally crude, they belie their own sophistication of wit and richness of content. Root creates a world that is equal parts fun house and children's toy box, injecting an adult's perspective into the playground of imagination.
