This is one of our favorite evenings of the year in Atlanta. Saturday April 18, 7 pm The Hambidge Art auction gala. It's a wonderful convergence of creativity and art with the best Atlanta (and beyond) has to offer. Hambidge retreat center is an artist retreat nestled in the foothills of the Georgia mountains just an hour from the city. It is a refuge and a retreat and a place where the creative soul can regenerate and flourish. This Saturday night April 18th is a time to buy art and support this valuable institution. Message me if you are interested in coming and can't figure out how or where or just want to support. Alisa is a fellow. /art-auction
Sunday is a good day to reflect. Concept imagery on a boutique concept...a slightly bougie, richly appointed place....comfortable, yet inspired. @heyzoegrant , @dreamingdragonfly , @dat.win
In the coming days, we have a special opening. Koshu Club is an elegant á la carte restaurant inspired by the refined spirit of classic Shōwa-era Japanese supper clubs. Here are some images of our preliminary sketches against some shots of the space. @koshuclubatl , @jtrentharris , @fredcast3 , @andrewthomaslee , @dat.win , @_marissmb_ , @molly.c.miller ,
