BAIA: A Place to Experience

Finally took the opportunity to explore BAIA, which stands for Black Art In America, over the weekend with my oldest two children this weekend, and it didn't disappoint! 

Upon entering the facility patrons get a slight glimpse of the garden area, but honestly you might not pay much attention to the area because the mind and excitement is on the inside. 

What will I see and hear?  Is there a gift shop and will it be affordable? 

The day we attended, a poetry event was going on, and it was beautiful.  Already this place is winning me over with art and poetry all wrapped up in one day----yeah!

After the show, all the attendees had the opportunity to mingle, shop and of course browse the gallery. 

Wished I had some really long money to buy some of these pieces.

Maybe one day, I'll have the funds to buy some really great art out of a gallery without worrying about the price. 

After walking around the gallery, we headed outside to checkout the garden area. 

The garden area is abundant with different sitting areas, artwork and plants. It's a great place to sit and read a book or write. 

If you're ever in the Atlanta area and looking for something to do/experience. BAIA is a great place to go.
