“I’m responding to the color black that I saw today,” says multidisciplinary artist Paul Stephen Benjamin. “I’m looking at what started with the color black, or the concept or idea of the color black, or the word black. It’s evolving each time.” Benjamin’s solo exhibition, Atlanta BLACK opens at Hammonds House Museum with an evening event…

FANTASTICAL. One intentional word. One intentional show. “What we say is as important as what we do,” Yu-Kai Lin, owner and director of Kai Lin Art, told ArtsATL, “and hopefully they’re aligned.” Recently awarded TripSavvy’s Editors’ Choice Award for Best Gallery in Atlanta 2021, Kai Lin Art is aligned, indeed.

It commemorates the day in 1865 — two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed — when slavery finally ended for good in the United States. This afternoon (June 17), President Biden signed a congressional resolution establishing June 19 as Juneteenth National…
