Creative Loafing's October 13 calendar lists free admission at the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art beginning at noon. The current exhibition names include Realism Revisited and Conversations with Collections.

For a photographer or visual designer, a short museum visit is useful research. Look for how painters lead the eye with contrast, negative space and framing; those ideas travel directly back into a camera viewfinder or Photoshop composition.

Action: verify the museum's current gallery hours and exhibition details before going. This is a quieter daytime alternative to the more crowded downtown events.
