See and Do this Weekend

We’re starting a new feature here at ATLarts. Every Thursday, I’ll offer a suggestion about a fun, artful event to see or do. And considering that we’re all watching our pennies these days, I’m going to keep an eye out for free events, deals and special offers.

This week: If you’ve never done it before, check out the scene at the Castleberry Hill Art Stroll Friday evening. Every fourth Friday of the month, the galleries and artist spaces in this popular art district open their doors from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. It’s a great opportunity to see new art in a party atmosphere. And there are always a few pleasant surprises outside of the galleries, as well. I don’t know if artist Jon Ciliberto is still operating his free “art taxi,” but last time I talked to him, riders were treated to impromptu drawings and live music.

Jackie Collins: The List

“Three high-powered Hollywood couples, two hot affairs, one underage Russian ex-hooker, a passionate murder and the players whose lives are changed forever.”

When I first read that, I thought it was a synopsis of a new sitcom on Fox. But it turned out to be a publicist boiling down “Married Lovers,” the new novel by Jackie Collins, to its salient talking points.

Ms. Collins will be at Outwrite Books in Midtown at 8 tonight (June 26) to talk about “Married Lovers” and sign copies. Till she gets here, I’d like to know if anyone else can take that opening sentence and come up with something else being described.

Have fun.
