Raymond Loewy: Designs for a Consumer Culture @ Museum of Design

Opening Reception: To be announced
This engaging exhibition will celebrate the life's work of the father of American Industrial Design: Raymond Loewy. Audiences will travel through the evolution of Loewy's design career and at the same time experience the technological boom associated with mid-twentieth century America. From Loewy's early advertising illustrations, through his works in transportation design for household names such as Greyhound buses, United Airlines, and the Pennsylvania Railroad, to his famous household products including the Sears Coldspot refrigerator created during the post-war era, Loewy's ingenious skill for creating functional yet fabulous design shines through. Some objects in the exhibition will be drawn from the Smithsonian Institution collection.

Turner's First Thursdays Art Walk @ downtownATL
This is the perfect time to experience art inside and out.
This month we invite you to stroll with us through magnificent buildings and streets to enjoy the beauty of our city and the art created by our neighbors. Come take a walk with us the First Thursday of each month, from 5-8 p.m.

Over the past months Turner's First Thursdays has continued to grow with new programs and additional venues so that art lovers can view the arts, tour the historic districts of Downtown and enjoy various discounts at Downtown restaurants. Turner's First Thursdays is a self-guided tour of galleries, with no beginning or ending point, you are free to move at your own pace.

With its growth, Turner's First Thursdays has become more than just an arts walk. It is an event where singles can meet, business people can unwind, and couples can enjoy the beauty of Downtown’s landscape. And all these are accomplished while taking in the culture that the arts offer. To put it simply, no two trips could ever be the same.
