NEW EXHIBIT: Did you see that?! Stories of Urban Oddities

The Spruill Gallery will open Did you see that?! Stories of Urban Oddities featuring photographs from Atlanta-based artist, Steve Steinman, on August 21st. The opening reception will be held Thursday, August 21 from 6-9pm and will run until October 25^th at the Spruill Gallery.

The exhibit, held in conjunction with Atlanta Celebrates Photography, dictates a subtle commentary on the anomalies often missed in everyday life. From the odd attraction on the side of a highway to street performers; from public art to the delicate beauty found in architecture, Steinman captures evolving lifestyles present in the unnoticed and overlooked people, places and things that have become a part of our lives.

Spruill Gallery will host an Artist Talk with Steve Steinman on Saturday, September 27 at 1pm. Steve Steinman will share what inspires him in the creation of his pictorial urban tales, including his use of contemporary technologies to create photographs that serve as both historical evidence and conveyers of art and passion.

Atlanta Celebrates Photography aims to make Atlanta a leading center for the world's fastest growing art form. By producing the largest annual community-oriented photo festival in the United States, ACP provides experiences that engage and educate diverse audiences through lens-based media.

Artists Talk On LINE

Artist's Talk

Saturday, March 5, 12 PM

Follow the dotted line all the way to Spruill Gallery on March 5 for a special Artist's Talk event at 12 noon. Meet the local artists in this group show and hear them speak about their work and the role that the line plays in their art.

The work in ALIGN explores how line defines space, inspires meaning and pushes spatial boundaries by challenging the surface and taking the line beyond the borders. Traditionally we consider line to be a mark, an exact stroke, but the definition of line has been redefined as artists and technology have seized opportunity to look beyond convention. A line may define an object, but also an object is defined by the space that surrounds the line.
