Art on the Atlanta BeltLine Brings Performances to the West Side!

The weather was absolutely beautiful for the performances last Sunday in the southwest corridor, despite rain day on Saturday. (By the way, Saturday’s performances have been rescheduled for October 5 in Gordon White Park, so you don’t have to miss a thing!)

Mass Transit Muse opened the afternoon with another dynamic performance, with poetry…

Twinhead Theater and Thimblerig Circus had the crowd in “stitches” with their wildly entertaining performance, “Professor Portobella’s Traveling Hospital of Hope.”

Pete Peterson kept the crowd moving with a voice that was made for the blues.

The star of the show, however, may have been Bryan Alcorn and Frank Fralick’s Nesting Resonantsa band shell sculpture designed for solo performers or small bands. The staging provided fantastic acoustics, and made the “jam-packed” afternoon possible.
