Weekend Time!

Even MORE stuff happening this weekend..Aside from our opening of course!

First off! Coloring in the Lines at MINT gallery! Local artists such as Sam Parker, RLand, and the Paper Twins have filled in pages from a coloring book to be auctioned off in support of buying art supplies for inner city elementary schools. Good cause!

Second! Opening at Kibbee Gallery! Go see Sean Abrahams and Erin McCammant's new work in the show titled "Glitter and Ghouls"! What?! That title rules.. and according to local badass Ann-Marie Manker, the show is already up and looks amazing! She said it's going to fly off the wall.. be sure to get there soon! And speaking of.. here's a nifty little walking map showing how close YBG is to them.

see ya around!

New Creative Loafing Boxes

Hey people! Jen here.

So, I just got wind that Creative Loafing is revamping their entire print publication and it will be officially launched June 10th.. New designs coinciding with their website redesign! This is super super exciting to us.. as there will be new Creative Loafing boxes made by local artists we hold near and dear to our little hearts! R. Land, Lucha Rodriguez (our former intern!!), Baxter Crane, and the Paper Twins.. Just to name a few!

I'm so excited to see what these ladies and gents have up their sleeves.. They never cease to amaze me! I mean, check out this freaking awesome putt putt golf hole R.Land designed for a recent Adult Swim Block Party..

and the Paper Twins are always up to something crazy! Check out this photo from their recent opening at Mint Gallery..

As many of you Atlanta locals know, Creative Loafing had been feeling the economic pressure lately and it makes me so happy that their pushing on and providing good digs for the community! AND if you pick up the most current issue.. Our buds over at WonderRoot are featured in the main article about Atlanta's new grassroots art movement.. and long-time Young Blooder, Joe Tsambiras did the cover art! IT LOOKS RAD!


Til next time,
