Virginia-based painter Emma Knight recently debuted her latest art exhibition Walking the ATL, which opened at Brickworks Gallery on June 2. The artwork, which comes from photos she took during a nearly 20-mile trek around the city last fall, shows Atlanta from the pedestrian’s view.
Speaking to Artsatl.com, Knight said: ““I am a romantic, and I love fairy tales. So I guess that informs the way I see things. And I love doing trees. There’s something very elegant, even a little spooky, about a bare limb. By the same token, there is nothing more beautiful than the combination of voluminous shapes in tandem with very sharp, thin lines.”
Her style includes painting a picture on the canvas and even distorting reality “if necessary,” she told the publication.
The Beltline has made major strides in engaging the city’s arts community. Knight’s work will only serve to strengthen those efforts as more homegrown artists discover the possibilities.
Walking the ATL runs uns through August 31 at Brickworks Gallery.

Although Atlanta is landlocked, you’d be surprised to learn how many people are true oyster-heads in the metro area. Lots of them come from coastal communities and port cities in Maryland, New Orleans or West Coast Pacific spots.
Enter Holeman and Finch Public House: The restaurant is offering $1 oysters every week day in an ongoing promotion. What is a public house, you ask?
“A Public House is traditionally the center of its community; a place to gather and enjoy a respite from the day,” the eatery’s website says. “Here we converse, debate, and celebrate each other over a cold beer, a well-made drink or a generous glass of wine. We are devoted to delicious food, well-made drinks & enjoyable experiences.”
