Based on The100DayProject, an initiative that encourages people to nurture creative habits, local artist Hannah Betzel challenged herself to create a new mixed-media piece in under one hour every day for 100 consecutive days. Working primarily in acrylics on canvas, Betzel also experimented with gouache, collage, pastels and watercolors to make abstract images, all of which can be viewed on Instagram under #100DaysofAbandon. The evening will kick off with an artist meet-and-greet from 5–6 p.m. for guests to network and hear from My Athens representatives about the organization’s plans for promoting local artists through their website, social media accounts and events. Mandy Kellogg Rye of the lifestyle blog Waiting on Martha will also be in attendance.
