They started with "<a href="http://architecturetourist.blogspot.com/2010/08/35-galleries-in-12-hours-part-1-dogs.html">Part 1: Dogs, Birds, and a Wild Hare</a>" "<a href="http://architecturetourist.blogspot.com/2010/08/35-galleries-in-12-hours-part-2.html">Part 2 Buckhead Galleries</a>," and "<a href="http://architecturetourist.blogspot.com/2010/08/35-galleries-in-12-hours-part-3-south.html">Part 3: South of Pharr, Peachtree Hills, Bennett Street</a>." This was the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Atlanta Gallery Association</span> <a href="http://www.atlart.com/pdfs/AGA_CityWalk_2010.pdf">Art Sun-up to Sundown – Citywide Art Walk Saturday, August 21, 2010 10 am – 10 pm</a>.<br /><br />I think I did the very first <a href="http://wadatlanta.org/">Westside Arts District's Gallery Walk</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.watsongallery.net/" style="font-weight: bold;">Watson Gallery</a> (formerly Abstein Gallery) is on 14th next to <a href="http://www.thesilverskillet.com/">The Silver Skillet Restaurant</a>.

If you drive by you might miss it. From the Silver Skillet, you can see the side door, a colorful Zen View teaser. Please head around back.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4917344912/" title="P1030570-2010-08-21-Watson-Gallery-side-door by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1030570-2010-08-21-Watson-Gallery-side-door" height="516" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4917344912_18626ec3bd_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4099928456/" title="PB121568-2009-11-12-Astolfi-Outside-Crowd by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="PB121568-2009-11-12-Astolfi-Outside-Crowd" height="480" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2521/4099928456_89d025b90f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Alas, <a href="http://www.tannerhillgallery.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tanner Hill Gallery</span></a>, also in White Provision, closed just as I got there. I think they had to catch a plane. Here is their <a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=3595423154503946022"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Facebook page</span></a>.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4917345176/" title="P1030578-2010-08-21-Tanner-Hill-Gallery-closed-early by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1030578-2010-08-21-Tanner-Hill-Gallery-closed-early" height="480" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4139/4917345176_77ce1cf658_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />They've had some <a href="http://architecturetourist.blogspot.com/2010/01/thornton-dial-reception-pictures.html">great shows though.

They featured stunning, spooky pictures of children. They have a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/JacksonFineArt">Facebook page</a>.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4916745079/" title="P1030579-2010-08-21-Jackson-Fine-Art-Not-AGA by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1030579-2010-08-21-Jackson-Fine-Art-Not-AGA" height="480" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4095/4916745079_3a1ef7686f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Ever been on 11th Street? <a href="http://www.getthisgallery.com/" style="font-weight: bold;">Get This Gallery</a> and <a href="http://www.saltworksgallery.com/" style="font-weight: bold;">Saltworks Gallery</a> are side by side.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4917345364/" title="P1030580-2010-08-21-11th-Street-Get-This-Gallery-Saltworks-Gallery by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1030580-2010-08-21-11th-Street-Get-This-Gallery-Saltworks-Gallery" height="640" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4118/4917345364_1f43d2c3c8_z.jpg" width="601" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lloyd Benjamin</span>, the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Get This</span> impresario, does framing.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4916745133/" title="P1030581-2010-08-21-Get-This-Gallery-Lloyd-Benjamin by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1030581-2010-08-21-Get-This-Gallery-Lloyd-Benjamin" height="480" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4123/4916745133_036c84b092_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Get This Gallery</span> feathered Harrison Keys in a solo show: Pressure Luck.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4916745169/" title="P1030582-2010-08-21-Get-This-Gallery-Harrison-Keys-solo-show-Pressure-Luck by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1030582-2010-08-21-Get-This-Gallery-Harrison-Keys-solo-show-Pressure-Luck" height="480" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4916745169_76777eff48_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />At <a href="http://www.saltworksgallery.com/" style="font-weight: bold;">Saltworks Gallery</a> (also on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/Atlanta-GA/SALTWORKS-Contemporary-Art/40633780886?ref=ts">Facebook</a>) I enjoyed the giant Geisha with Afro ...<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4917345452/" title="P1030583-2010-08-21-Saltworks-Gallery-Geisha-with-Afro by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1030583-2010-08-21-Saltworks-Gallery-Geisha-with-Afro" height="640" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4917345452_54162774bb_z.jpg" width="480" /></a><br /><br />... and the urn with fur, not so easy to find in the Buckhead galleries.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4917345480/" title="P1030584-2010-08-21-Saltworks-Gallery-Fur-Urn by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1030584-2010-08-21-Saltworks-Gallery-Fur-Urn" height="483" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4076/4917345480_dd78e05cf2_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Whew.<br /><br />Here are <a href="http://www.twinkittens.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jeffrey Guy</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bob Butler</span> owners of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Twin Kittens</span></a>. They sell art without taking commissions. Good deal I think. Very nice folks. I've "allowed" them to use my initials on their sign. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Orlando-FL/The-WestSide-Gallery/162587167924#%21/pages/Atlanta-GA/Twin-Kittens/111339862949?ref=ts">I urge you to visit their Facbook page and "like" them</a>.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4918596938/" title="P1030585-2010-08-21-Twin-Kittens-Gallery-Jeffrey-Guy-Bob-Butler by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1030585-2010-08-21-Twin-Kittens-Gallery-Jeffrey-Guy-Bob-Butler" height="498" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/4918596938_0af234f4f1_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Next: The Octane neighborhood gallery cluster.

There are several ways to move though the gallery. Gaps give you long sight lines and Zen Vews.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4918596976/" title="P1030588-2010-08-21-Emily-Amy-Gallery-Sign by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1030588-2010-08-21-Emily-Amy-Gallery-Sign" height="480" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4918596976_de08af461b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.kiang-gallery.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kiang Gallery</span></a> was closed!

Stunning, strange, memorable.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/4917997425/" title="P1030590-2010-08-21-Sandler-Hudson-Gallery-Not-AGA-Blue-MJ-by-Amalia-Amaki by clambake444, on Flickr"><img alt="P1030590-2010-08-21-Sandler-Hudson-Gallery-Not-AGA-Blue-MJ-by-Amalia-Amaki" height="480" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/4917997425_9ab140de95_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />My last Westside stop was the <a href="http://www.thecontemporary.org/" style="font-weight: bold;">Atlanta Contemporary Art Center</a> which the "The Total Package" of art and cool contemporary re-purposed space. Here is the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/AtlantaContemporaryArtCenter">ACAC Facbook page</a>.

This is part of <a href="http://www.thecontemporary.org/exhibitions/shana-robbins-supernatural-conductor/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shana Robbins</span>' "Supernatural Conductor</a>."
