Coffee, Eggs, and a side of Public Art, please



While dining at the scrumptious West Egg for brunch on Sunday, Cath made an excited gesture to her placemat, "It's that Atlanta Celebrates photography placemat thing!" (for more a detailed description about the project, please click here). Indeed! Instead of the usual bare formica table-top or bland, white rectangle, our plates were sitting on art! Mine had a photograph of a beaten up door and Cath's had some lovely flowers on hers. Our brunch-mate was slightly disturbed by the hairy looking man under his plate of eggs and choose to interact with his placemat by flipping it over. But any reaction is good, right? An inspiring way to shake you out of your Sunday morning loafing and get out of your coffee/chocolate-chip pancake haze.
These placemats are around town at different tasty venues for the rest of the month. Go grab yourself a cuppa and enjoy some free art!
