Hey Ladies: Opening of Atlanta's Living Walls Conference



The Architecture Tourists had a big weekend ending with the Opening of the Living Walls Conference at Eyedrum last night. Dali is certainly big in Atlanta right now but many more people will notice Living Walls. Read more about it in Creative Loafing.

The opening was crowded, overwhelming, hot and wonderful. All the cool kids were there. I'll just show you a little now. Two warehouses filled with huge, stunning art.

There was a huge crowd. Eyedum has never been so hospitable.

We ran into Heather McPherson, and her dad, Sam.

Quite a few Grady Bunchers were there (Grady High School). Ryun is back from DC, Jeremy from Africa, Max and KK: not back from anywhere.

I want to show you more, maybe another day. You'll be seeing more on some very big legal Atlanta walls.

  1. Well... inspiration can come in some unusual and unsuspected places...

    I doubt that I would be doing an interior with graffiti walls anytime soon... but you never know...

    Thanks Terry for the interesting tour...

  5. It was a hot Atlanta night, and the indoor spaces were packed with warm folks. This art ins't going anywhere. I'll let y'all know about the next event. It's 2 blocks from Oakland Cemetery next to the Mattress Factory lofts.
