DIFFERENT TRAINS GALLERY 2 at Cornerstone Bank of Decatur, 125 Clairemont Ave, presents "People of the World", a group exhibition by the art students at Decatur's Academe of the Oaks High School.
The show opens with an artists' reception on Friday, August 30, from 5-8pm, during the AJC Decatur Book Festival. The opening is free and open to the public and continues through October 18.
This also marks the two-year anniversary of DTG2 at Cornerstone, one of the few, if only, art galleries in a bank in the US. This satellite space of Different Trains Gallery is dedicated to showcasing artwork by Georgia-based artist groups and art students from K - College. Gallery Director Shawn Vinson is excited about working with the students and teaching them the inner workings of putting on a gallery exhibition. "My mom was a school teacher for over forty years, so this is a way for me to carry on her legacy in a small way," says Vinson.
