Thank you everyone for coming out to WHAM this past Saturday! It was so much fun and it was good to meet new folks interested in our organization.

We have open submissions until Sept. 30; please click on the “SUBMIT” tab to learn more on the application process.
This Saturday, don’t miss out! 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 MINT, WE Design Atlanta is bringing you the best way to say farewell to summer.
WHAM will feature a summer-themed art gallery curated by MINT and live performances from Tracer Metula, Eclectic Roots Ensemble, Pyramidal Prisms 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 Scoop-Itz Ice Cream, and 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, 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 on Saturday!
The vote is in and we are extending the submission deadline until September 30th at 12:00 pm. This is one more opportunity to have your work included in this year’s one-of-a-kind art annual! Click here to submit!
In addition to our open submissions for FORM: artistic independence 2010, we have another opportunity for artists to submit work:
MINT and WE Design Atlanta are looking for artwork in any medium/size for our joint end of the summer party, WHAM: Wet Hot American Mixer. This party is inspired by the cult film “Wet Hot American Summer,” and will be held Sept. 25 at The Goat Farm from 5 p.m. to midnight. The artwork must be an interpretation of “What I Did On My Summer Vacation…“ Think big juicy hot dogs, wet t-shirts, sweaty concerts, exotic travels, camping, cleaning tar balls off 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.

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, live music, a corn on the cob bar, and much, much 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!
