Patrick Heagney at the Hagedorn Foundation Gallery

Last Thursday Lain and I went to go see Patrick Heagney’s show at the Hagedorn Foundation Gallery in Buckhead.  Two of the photographs from the show were taken at the Wren’s Nest!

We met Patrick a couple years ago here at the Nest when we hosted a goblin-burlesque photo shoot. You know, typical house museum stuff.

Patrick’s work speaks for itself, but I will say this in the meantime — he is a super, super nice guy, which is an added bonus.  You need to see his show.

Some related items:

• The Hagedorn Foundation Gallery is a non-profit.  Their website may not be up right now, but no matter — they have a working phone and proceeds from artwork sales go to various charities, both local and national.
• The Wren’s Nest looks way better as shot by Patrick. The goblins definitely add something.
• The Hagedorn Foundation Gallery’s sales manager is Maggie Hagedorn, one of Lain’s high school friends.
• One of my own chums from high school in Illinois, whom I had not seen for about 10 years, has a collection showing in the bathroom of the gallery. That was an unexpected run-in, I tell you what.

The show runs through January 15th, with an artist’s talk on January 8th at 6 pm — you should totally go if you can.  Don’t believe us?  Check out the review at the really cool art blog Burn Away.
