Local Artists’ Works on Display at Area Metaphysical Shops

Three metaphysical businesses will feature works by local visual artists in April and May.
The Well of Roswell, a wellness center offering services, workshops and events for personal transformation, is featuring the works of Michael Orr, also known as Pone, now through June 7. “The true heart of Michael’s art is the joy of creative expression and its power to bring purpose and sanity to our existence,” says Becky Arrington, co-owner of the Well of Roswell. According to Orr, much of the displayed works are about childhood trauma, addiction and healing. The artist reception will be held April 7 from 2 to 4 p.m.
The Well of Roswell is located at 900 Old Roswell Lakes Parkway, Ste. 300, in Roswell. Call 770-778-2051 or email [email protected] to arrange a showing.
The photographic works of Anthony Schmidt are featured at Phoenix & Dragon metaphysical bookstore through April 30. Schmidt’s artistry was born after he was expelled from school at the age of five—he’s 16 now—due to behaviors associated with his undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder. Soon, he began taking pictures of model cars, finessing the details to make them look as real as possible. When fans complimented him about what he could do in spite of his autism, he often replied, “It is because of my autism that I can follow my dream rather than in spite of it.” Schmidt’s exhibit at Phoenix & Dragon includes photos of miniature cars, trucks, busses and more—set in impossible settings—from his published books. The artist’s reception will be held April 9 from 4 to 5:30 p.m.
Phoenix & Dragon Bookstore is located at 5531 Roswell Road. NE in Sandy Springs.
Heart Soul & Art, a metaphysical shop in Marietta, is announcing a call for artists from April 7 through April 28. The opening reception will be held May 11, and the juried show, titled “Code of Color,” will take place May 11 through June 22. “We want artists to explore the dynamic relationship between art and color dynamics and push the boundaries of traditional mediums,” says Sharron Reagan, owner of Heart Soul & Art. “We invite creators to weave their narratives through the vibrant tapestry of colors. Celebrate innovative, colorful approaches to storytelling, symbolism and aesthetic exploration.”
Artists are invited to submit works at HeartSoulAndArt.com/art-show no later than April 28.
Heart Soul & Art is located at 1470 Roswell Road in Marietta.
