■ Side by Side: Selections from the Permanent Collection. Opening: 6-8 p.m. Sept. 19. On view through Dec. 9. Dalton Gallery, Dana Fine Arts building, Agnes Scott College, 141 E. College Ave., Decatur. The permanent collection began at Agnes Scott in 1965 with a gift of 50 original works from Harry L. Dalton that were given to the college in honor of his wife, Mary Keesler Dalton, class of 1925. The Dalton Gallery subsequently was named after them. Programmed events will highlight specific works and feature arts leaders speaking to students, faculty and the public about the power of the image and what it means to work in the field of art. The exhibition centers around never-before-seen pieces requiring framing, restoration and current cataloging. AgnesScott.edu
