WHAM at the Goat Farm...tonight!

Our end-of-summer throwdown, WHAM: Wet Hot American Mixer is happening at The Goat Farm starting at 5 p.m. and lasting all night long! In partnership with WE Design Atlanta, we're bringing you the best way to say farewell to summer.

WHAM will feature a summer-themed art gallery curated by yours truly and live performances from Tracer Metula, Eclectic Roots Ensemble, Pyramidal Prisms, The King Congregation and DJs Tom and Rusty from Noni’s “Common Sense/Nonsense” Saturday night dance parties.

We will have plenty of yummy treats courtesy of The Good Food Truck, the Sugar Dolls and our very own corn on the cob bar. Feel free to knock down a cold one thanks to Asahi! If that weren’t enough, we’ve got a pool tournament, beer pong competition, water balloon dodgeball, 80’s costume contest and much more, with awesome prizes for the winners!

We would like to extend a heartfelt and huge thank you to the following organizations for their generosity and support!

The Goat Farm, Asahi Beer USA, SOHO Office-Atlanta, Octane Coffee Westside, Salon Red Candler Park, Hop City Craft Beer and Wine, YoungBlood Gallery, WonderRoot, Urban Pl8, Creative Loafing Atlanta and BurnAway.org and Dashboard Co-Op.

This event is $5 and is open to 18+, we can’t wait to see everyone!

Thanks Atlanta!

We are very proud to announce that we won Critics Pick for Best Underground Art Space and Readers Pick for Best Opening and Best Art Exhibit in a Gallery in the 2010 Best of Atlanta in Creative Loafing!

Thanks to all the readers who voted and the wonderful staff at CL for putting it all together. Come celebrate with us at The Goat Farm this Saturday!

Looking forward to a great 2011.

Open tonight from 6 to 8!

We're open tonight to take submissions for WHAM (Wet Hot American Mixer) happening this coming Saturday. Stop by between 6 and 8 to drop off your work or to see the Dreamer Boy Dan exhibit and have a beer.

WHAM will feature music from local bands and DJs, games, a corn on the cob bar, street food vendors and more! Doors are at 5pm at the Goat Farm.

We'll see you soon!

Artwork drop offs, pick ups and everything in between

Hey y'all,

We're open today from 3 to 6 if you'd like to drop off artwork for the Wet Hot American Mixer party happening next Saturday at the Goat Farm. If you can't make it today, do not fear! We'll also be open on Wednesday evening from 6 to 8pm.

If you purchased anything from our last couple of events (Nevermind the Lines, Dreamer Boy Dan, our fundraiser at WonderRoot) you can grab that stuff today as well.

We've been having lots of meetings with different art folks (and Terry Gilliam) and we've got some exciting plans for the coming year. If you've got an exhibit in mind that you'd like to have at the gallery, send Mike (the gallery manager) an email at mike@mintatl.org.

If you have a chance tonight, stop by Convergent Frequencies (a pop up gallery put together by i45) happening right around the corner. I (Erica) had a chance to see it last night and you really shouldn't miss it.

Call for Artists!

MINT and WE Design are looking for artwork in any medium/size for our joint end of the Summer party called WHAM or Wet Hot American Mixer. This party is inspired by the cult film Wet Hot American Summer and will be hosted at the Goat Farm on September 25th. The artwork must be an interpretation of "What I Did On My Summer Vacation..." Think big juicy hotdogs, wet t-shirts, sweaty concerts, exotic travels, camping, cleaning tar balls of the Gulf, sitting at home watching Netflix Instant Queue, or working your ass off, the possibilities are limitless!

MINT/WE Design will be receiving 50% of art sales. Please label the back of your artwork with your name, contact info (phone number and e-mail), and price.

All artwork should be dropped-off at MINT on Sunday, September 19th between 3 and 6pm or on Wednesday, September 22nd between 6 and 8pm. If neither of those times work, please call (404) 946-8982 to set up a time for your drop off.

For Googling references, MINT’s address is:

684 John Wesley Dobbs Ave, Unit B, Atlanta, GA, 30312

If you have any further questions or comments, feel free to contact Mike Germon (MINT’s Gallery Manager) at mike@mintatl.org, or give us a call.

The party will also feature games, music, a corn on the cob bar, and more! We're expecting at least 300 attendees so this is a great way to get your name out to a large group of people.

We look forward to seeing your work!
