Exciting Cultural Event in Athens

Athens, Georgia is best known for "The Dogs" (Georgia Bulldogs, that is) but this weekend, August 29th, Athens will host an exciting art event.

Two wonderfully creative and very diverse artists from Venezuela will be exhibiting their work at the Lyndon House Arts Center.

Carlos Solis, a native of Venezuela, specializes in surreal oil paintings. His vision and use of textured media is something you just have to see for yourself. Please visit Carlos's web site and you'll see what I mean. Carlos has been selling his paintings here in Atlanta and also painting wall murals for upscale clients. He has been featured in several art magazines.

Stanley Bermudez was born in New Orleans, but grew up in Venezuela. His wonderful use of color and shapes is something that I have never seen before. Please take a minute to visit Stanley's web site as well. You will see how vibrant and alive his work is, and you will want to see more!

These artists are very different in style, but very similar in their lust for life.

There will be a celebration to kick off the Gallery show.

If you have ever known anyone from Venezuela, then you know they are people who love to party! This evening will be no exception. Good food, music, and good people will make this one enjoyable night.

The date is Saturday August 29 from 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Lyndon House Arts Center, South Gallery 293 Hoyt Street in Athens Georgia

Please call (706) 613-3623 fro more information or directions.

The showing will run through October 31, so if you can't make it Saturday for the opening, you owe it to yourself to make a trip before the show is over.
