Community Voices: Roswell offers bounty of arts options
While in Atlanta for a concert at the Phillips Arena, Mick Fleetwood, founding member and drummer of Fleetwood Mac, took time to talk a little about the other artistic passion in his life, his photography. Fleetwood was exhibiting some of his photography at the Ann Jackson Gallery in Roswell. He took time off to show and discuss some of his photography collection in an exhibit called “Reflections.” Photo courtesy of MickFleetwoodOfficial.com
The art of John Lennon and
Mick Fleetwood recently rocked the Roswell private art scene, with music fans, local art patrons, and curious passersby packing the Ann Jackson Gallery to peruse the rock icons’ paintings and photos. More than a few pulled open purses to purchase the works. Tempting though the credit incentives of zero percent interest offers were, too many needs on the home front outweighed Lennon’s handwritten lyrics of “Drive My Car,” and the twisting limbs of
Fleetwood’s “Medusa,” to allow me to take anything other than memories home.
The loosely organized First Friday Art Walks encourage a stroll, at your own pace, through the historic district. It’s a chance to check out the wares in the local galleries, most open later than usual, just for the occasion. Even those familiar with the area will find the maps available on the city’s website to be a helpful guide for the walks, showing the locations of the participating galleries.
And now, those of us of legal drinking age are permitted to take the walk with our complimentary wine in hand.
