Opening in January 2005, exhibitions at four Atlanta venues examine contemporary travel.

Dalton Gallery of Agnes Scott College
Investigates a range of topics, including tourism, travel logistics, the global nomad phenomenon, immigration, escape and exile. Underlying themes may focus on political, economic, social and emotional issues linked with the notion of travel and ideals that signify freedom to journey to and within the U.S.

Eyedrum Art and Music Gallery
Shelter explores lodging, especially temporary housing and refuges that emerge from transient lifestyles. Artist architects will build indoor/outdoor structures.

Georgia State University Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design Gallery
Imagining Escape examines notions of escape, escapism and the wandering life. Literal and metaphoric installations and objects evoke the global nomad phenomenon, idle drifting and exploring.

Going South features Southern sightseeing, especially tourist attractions and regional cooking.

Participating venues are members of the Visual Arts Network of Atlanta.
