The Hop ended at Mint Gallery and celebrated the 3rd Form

Before I get started, this is about <a href="http://blog.williams-england.com/archives/310"><span style="font-style: italic;">Form</span>, the 3rd annual book featuring independent Atlanta Artists</a>. It includes <a href="http://clatl.com/atlanta/an-interview-with-hudgens-prize-winner-gyun-hur/Content?oid=2449259">Hudgens Prize winner Gyun Hur</a> among others. I think Atlanta Art fans should own the book.
