Prism

Made Again - 299 N. Highland Ave. N.E., Suite H2 Atlanta, GA Free w/ RSVP. 7 p.m.

Magic is alive in Prism, a solo exhibition by Erin Palovick. After painting almost exclusively in blue, Palovick challenged herself to utilize every color of the rainbow, drawing inspiration from a prism that sat in her studio. At every hour, the prism would cause a rainbow to shimmer across her workspace. The final product is a series of works on display at Made Again that cover the entire color spectrum, providing near celestial explosions of color. Palovick is an experienced artist in the Atlanta community and has explored a variety of mediums throughout her career. In addition to her works on paper, she has put on dance and sound performances throughout the city. The exhibit will be open through the month of July. Opening reception: Fri., July 14, 7 p.m.
