Exploring Roswell Art Galleries

The Roswell Art District Art Walk was held on Saturday, May 5th from 4:00-8:00. My husband and I took some time to explore Roswell’s best art galleries. We visited all eight of the participating galleries. We even found two treasures to take home! We started at Taylor Kinzel Gallery, which has been a favorite of mine, then went to The Ford Smith Gallery, Synergy Fine Art, LOLA and Galerie Matilda.

The last three galleries were on Oak Street, which I had never explored. Muse & Co was my favorite, without a doubt! They brilliantly have furniture and accessories, along with the art work. It makes it so much easier to envision what the art will look like in your home. We also visited Cowgirl Studios and Teal Gallery.

The streets were buzzing and restaurants filled with good food and music! This event is held twice a year so be on the lookout for the next one! This year’s event benefits The Drake House.

Filing for Homestead in metro Atlanta

Did you buy a home in the Atlanta area in 2011?

If you purchased your home last year and have not already done so, remember to file for a Homestead Exemption. This can save you thousands of dollars in property taxes!

While some states provide this exemption automatically, in Georgia a homestead exemption must be applied for. Depending on the county, this can be done online, by fax, by mail or in person. You only have to apply for the exemption once. The exemption remains as long as you reside in the home as your primary residence.
