SEFAA has a wonderful show every year called the Square Foot Art Show. It reminds me so much of so many of our challenges. It's free to enter, so have a look and really consider sending something in! The gallery is in Chamblee, not a bad drive from Athens, and they have wonderful exhibitions, so go when you can!
