Comic Art in Macon!

That's right, there's an exhibit up at the Museum of Arts and Sciences on comic art from three main stream Comic Artists, that are from Macon. They've worked on such features as Green Lantern and Wonderwoman. Check out the Museum's web page for details on time and dates and there's also an article about it in the Macon Magazine (not able to link to online).

Atists love letters

This is a interesting little exhibit of lover letters of some famous artists. This one is particularly interesting.

A Thousand Kisses: Love Letters From the Archives of American Art
"This selection of affectionate communiqués to and from American artists [such as Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, and Michael Goldberg] gives us insight into the lives of painters, sculptors, illustrators, and others -- their relationships, perceptions, and creative energies -- from the mid-19th century to the late 20th." A companion to a 2008 physical exhibit at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.

The current war in Iraq, like past ones, have inspired artists to call out for a change through their work. Take a look at this post on some current artists and their work on the war.
