SUMMARY:Footwork: Celebrating Soccer\, Culture\, & Community Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Atlanta as a host city for the World Cup this summer\, Emory Libraries’ newest exhibition\, “Footwork: Celebrating Soccer\, Culture\, & Community\,” explores the intersection of soccer\, culture\, and identity. Drawing on Emory’s collections\, academic expertise\, and global partnerships—from sneaker culture influencers to community collaborators—it tells Atlanta’s connected stories of soccer\, civil rights\, and globalism from 1968 to today. Along the way\, it shows how our region\, our teams\, and even our sneakers help express who we are. \nThe exhibition features Rose Library materials that highlight soccer’s cultural and historical impact across Atlanta communities\, including memorabilia\, photos\, and artifacts from the Atlanta Chiefs\, the National Professional Soccer League\, and the creation of the North American Soccer League. Apparel from the adidas archives traces the shared evolution of the World Cup\, athletic performance\, and streetwear. \nCurated by Randy Gue (Rose Library) and Melissa Carnegie\, founder of Kicks & Fros\, the exhibition is presented by Emory Libraries\, the Michael C. Carlos Museum\, and the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship. Visit the Footwork initiative page at https://libraries.emory.edu/footwork to find out more about Emory’s campuswide Footwork initiative!

SUMMARY:Calida Rawles: Away with the Tides
DESCRIPTION:Spelman College Museum of Fine Art is pleased to present Calida Rawles: Away with the Tides\, an exhibition featuring recent works alongside a novel large-scale video installation reflecting natural environments and the rich cultural history of Miami\, Florida’s Overtown neighborhood. Calida Rawles: Away with the Tides will open to the public on Friday\, March 27\, 2026\, and will be on view until September 5\, 2026. \nInternationally recognized for her intricate and delicate acrylic on canvas paintings\, Spelman alumna Rawles blends hyperrealism with poetic abstraction and situates her subjects in dynamic\, undulating spaces. Her recent work utilizes water as a vital\, organic\, and multifaceted element—as well as a historically charged space that concomitantly represents racial exclusion and individual healing. Calida Rawles: Away with the Tides bridges the past and present\, delving into the experience of Black people in America. Rawles partnered with Pérez Art Museum Miami and members of the historically Black community of Overtown in Miami to discover the interwoven narratives of place\, memory\, and belonging that animate her practice.

SUMMARY:Gainesville Goes Pop Exhibit by Chris Hobé
DESCRIPTION:Gainesville Goes Pop by Chris Hobé\nThe inspiration for this body of work comes from everyday life and the layers of life that make up a whole. Each one of my pieces incorporates different layers and iconic nostalgic imagery from comic books\, music\, logos and patterns. There are always subtle subliminal messages in each piece that are drawn from pop culture and childhood. I tend to use loud and vibrant colors because nothing says in your face happiness like some bright color. Lastly\, the techniques that I use come from years of creating stencils\, painting and illustration; each piece is a mash-up of pop culture and iconic imagery created to give you a one-of-a-kind visual experience. \nAbout Chris Hobé\nCalifornia born pop artist\, Chris Hobé also known as ArtRevolts creates a box for the world to think outside of. Through Hobés use of vibrant color combinations\, eclectic and popular culture themes has made his one of a kind art pieces highly sought after. Hobés clientele includes domestic and international celebrities and avid art collectors. His work has been shown at several well known venues and establishments including art Basel Scope Art Show as a Bombay Sapphire regional finalist. Some of his collaborations include\, the W Hotels\, Jack Daniels\, Svedka Vodka\, Bombay Sapphire\, Halo Lounge\, Atlantic Station\, CBS radio\, Puma\, Lab Art\, 20th Century Fox\, Lee Daniels\, Mellow Mushroom and Raddison Red Hotel. ArtRevolts also recently exhibited a solo show at Scope Art Show Immersive Miami 2020.

SUMMARY:MINDFUL SEEING
DESCRIPTION:Spalding Nix Fine Art is pleased to present MINDFUL SEEING\, a series of 4 exhibitions by Carlyle Wolfe Lee\, Tim Hunter\, Amanda Joy Brown and Scotty Peek. Together\, these exhibitions invite viewers to slow down\, look closely and deepen their awareness of the natural world through 4 distinct Artistic perspectives. Reflecting on the year past\, Carlyle Wolfe Lee’s “Memorable Days” records observed rhythms and remarkable moments in nature through a process of drawing\, painting and layered silhouettes. Motivated by both admiration and concern for the environment\, Tim Hunter’s “Now You See It…Now You Don’t (Nature in Decline)” celebrates native Southeastern birds and wildflowers while drawing attention to the loss of their habitats through the unexpected use of asphalt and cement. Amanda Joy Brown’s “Path” presents a series of plein air-inspired paintings that explore the subtle interplay of light\, shadow and color across the landscape. In “Land\,” Scotty Peek uses the landscape as a point of departure for abstraction\, allowing each brushstroke to inform the next as paint is applied\, pushed and pulled across the canvas. \nOn View: July 24 – September 11\nOpening Receptions: Friday\, July 24\, 6-8 p.m. and Saturday\, July 25 12-4 p.m. \nSpalding Nix Fine Art\, 425 Peachtree Hills Ave NE\, Suite 30A\, Atlanta\, GA 30305\nThe gallery is open Monday – Friday\, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. or by appointment.

SUMMARY:Chuck Stewart: Framing the Sound
DESCRIPTION:The Sun ATL\, Atlanta’s contemporary art gallery and event venue located in the historic Sweet Auburn neighborhood\, is honored to present “Chuck Stewart: Framing the Sound\,” an exhibition of photographs by the late Chuck Stewart (1927–2017)\, widely regarded as the most prolific and consequential music photographer of the twentieth century. The exhibition opens to the public on Saturday\, August 8\, and runs through September 26\, 2026. \nStewart’s photographs appeared on more than 2\,000 album covers over a career spanning seven decades\, and his portraits of the era’s greatest musicians remain among the most recognized images in American cultural history. Twenty-five of his prints are held in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. His work has been exhibited at Jazz at Lincoln Center and recognized by institutions across the United States and Europe. \n“Framing the Sound” opens at a singular moment: 2026 marks the centenary of both John Coltrane and Miles Davis — both born in 1926 — and Stewart’s portraits of each are among the highlights of the exhibition. The show also features arresting photographs of Nina Simone\, Astrud Gilberto\, and Tina Turner\, among many others\, offering a sweeping visual record of an era that permanently shaped American music and culture. \n“It’s probably easier to ask me whom I haven’t photographed than to tell you who I have. But if there’s a historic moment in American music\, social or cultural history that you’re curious about\, chances are I was there or have photographs of somebody who was.”\n— Chuck Stewart \nThat breadth is reflected in the exhibition itself. “Framing the Sound” presents a curated selection of Stewart’s portrait work alongside a wall of album covers drawn from his extraordinary catalog — spanning Impulse!\, Verve\, Mercury\, Reprise\, Chess\, and other labels that defined the golden era of recorded jazz. \n“Framing the Sound” will serve as the opening event in a year of international gallery and museum exhibitions celebrating the centenary of Chuck Stewart’s birth in 2027. The Sun ATL is honored to help kick off that celebration in Atlanta. \n“Framing the Sound” is conceived and curated by Kim Stewart\, Director of the Chuck Stewart Archive\, in collaboration with The Sun ATL Director Shawn Vinson\, and is presented with the full support of the Chuck Stewart Estate. \nThe Sun ATL gratefully acknowledges WCLK 91.9 FM (Jazz WCLK\, Clark Atlanta University) as media sponsor and Fireball Entertainment Group LLC as presenting sponsor. \nEXHIBITION DETAILS\nPublic opening: Saturday\, August 8\, 2026\nClosing date: September 26\, 2026\nLocation: The Sun ATL\, 399 Edgewood Avenue SE\, Atlanta\, GA 30312\nGallery hours: Friday–Saturday 11am–5pm; Sunday–Thursday by appointment

SUMMARY:Queer Romance Book Club Reads: Flirting Lessons
DESCRIPTION:The Queer Romance Book Club is a group of adults that reads and discusses queer romance stories of all kinds. From new releases to older stories\, contemporary to historical settings (with even some fantasy on occasion!)\, the books we’ll read will also feature diverse pairings/configurations\, sexualities\, and gender expressions. Join us on the second Tuesday of every month to go deep on the themes\, tropes\, and emotions that connect the titles we read\, or drop in for your favorite books or sub-genres! All are welcome! \nRegistration is required\, register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/TXMhbVCETAamP-iws1Kg9g \nThis Month’s book is Flirting Lessons by Jasmine Guillory \nSummary: \nAvery Jensen is almost thirty\, fresh off a breakup\, and she’s tired of always being so uptight and well-behaved. She wants to get a hobby\, date around (especially women)\, flirt with everyone she sees\, wear something not from the business casual section of her closet—all the fun stuff normal people do in their twenties. One problem: Avery doesn’t know where to start. She doesn’t have a lot of dating experience\, with men or women\, and despite being self-assured at work\, she doesn’t have a lot of confidence when it comes to romance. \nEnter Taylor Cameron\, Napa Valley’s biggest flirt and champion heartbreaker. Taylor just broke up with her most recent girlfriend\, and her best friend bet her that she can’t make it until Labor Day without sleeping with someone. (Two whole months? Without sex? Taylor?!?!) So\, she offers to give Avery flirting lessons. It should keep her busy and stop her from texting people she shouldn’t. And it might take her mind off how inadequate she feels compared to her friends\, who all seem much more settled and adult than Taylor. \nAt first\, Avery is stiff and nervous\, but Taylor is patient and encouraging\, and soon\, Avery looks forward to their weekly lessons. With Taylor’s help\, Avery finally has the life she always wanted. The only issue is: now she wants Taylor. Their attraction becomes impossible to ignore\, despite them both insisting to themselves and everyone else that it isn’t serious. When Taylor is forced to confront her feelings for Avery\, she doesn’t know what to do—and most importantly\, if she’s already ruined the best thing she’s ever had. \nIdentities/Themes/Tropes: contemporary\, Black MCs\, f/f \n2026 Books: \nJANUARY – When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley \nFEBRUARY – Make Room for Love by Darcy Liao \nMARCH – Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell \nAPRIL – The Everlasting by Alix E.

SUMMARY:Don't Buy What I'm Selling & Consented -- Lu Chekowsky & Zed Zha in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place on Crowdcast\, Charis’ virtual event platform. This event is free\, but registration is required. Register here: https://www.crowdcast.io/c/chekowsky-zha \nCharis welcomes Lu Chekowsky & Zed Zha in conversation to celebrate the release of their books Don’t Buy What I’m Selling: On Breaking Up with Advertising and Finally Learning to Love My Whole\, Fat Self and Consented: A Doctor’s Call to End Medical Violence and Reclaim Patient Autonomy. \nAbout Don’t Buy What I’m Selling: On Breaking Up with Advertising and Finally Learning to Love My Whole\, Fat Self \nPart memoir\, part manifesto\, this is the “fascinating\, smart\, and hilarious look” (Christie Tate) of a woman determined to go deep inside advertising so she could save the world—and herself. What could possibly go wrong? \nAs a high-level advertising creative director for 14 years\, Lu Chekowsky willed inanimate objects to life and made people want to buy stuff they didn’t need. Her colleagues called her “Mary Manifesto” because she could whip up an emotional ad campaign like no one else. Need someone to channel Michael Jordan so people will line up and buy his latest sneaker? That’s Lu. Need to convince a cranky teen heartthrob to take his shirt off for an ad designed to get teenage girls across America to swoon? That’s her too. It was a regular workday when she made same-day cross-country trips between New York and LA to satisfy the CEOs who counted on her to pump up their profits—ignoring her own voice and using it in service of their company’s bottom line. Chekowsky was great at her job because she’d trained for it her whole life. She’d gotten the memo about how worthless her body was at moving products—because she was the one who wrote it. \nAs someone whose body was always far from what the world held up as ideal\, Chekowsky grew up trying to find a place where she could fit in. Everywhere she looked\, the images she saw were designed to make girls feel terrible. The only person who could make her feel worthy was her larger-than-life mom; but even that was complicated when her mother got sick with cancer when she was just eleven years old. For years\, Chekowsky tried to look past what it felt like to be underestimated by her male colleagues\, the 14-hour work days spent satisfying the demands of the latest celebrity/boss/pop star/social media app\, and her work that required her to\, every day\, perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards\, before she went home and binged alone on bags of takeout. \nDon’t Buy What I’m Selling is a dishy peek behind the curtain of a billion-dollar industry\, but it’s also the journey of one former ad executive who lived a life of contradictions—until she couldn’t anymore. With honesty and heart\, interspersed with behind-the-scenes looks at the real-world tactics brands use to prey on consumers\, it is perfect for readers of Roxane Gay\, Aubrey Gordon\, and Lori Gottlieb—and anyone who’s bought a product from an Instagram ad and instantly regretted it. \nAbout Consented: A Doctor’s Call to End Medical Violence and Reclaim Patient Autonomy \nA physician’s bold critique of medical rape culture—and her call for a new model of care that centers consent and empowers patients \nMedical culture has a problem with consent—and it’s not just a few bad doctors. That’s the conclusion of Dr. Zed Zha in Consented\, a groundbreaking look at how the healthcare industry ignores patients’ agency and perpetuates violence. \nEven the best and most caring doctors can fall prey to what Dr. Zha identifies as medical rape culture: a system of beliefs and practices that enable and normalize the violation of patients’ autonomy. Dr. Zha shows how this culture is historically entrenched—from the invention of the speculum to eugenics—and argues that we need a sea change in our healthcare system to stop repeating the same mistakes. She interlaces these hidden histories of medicine with first-hand patient stories and her own personal journey\, identifying four key problems of consent within medical practice: \n– Non-consent (“Doctors know what’s best for the patient.”)\n– Forced consent (“If patients are noncompliant\, their voices cease to matter.”)\n– Inadequate consent (“Doctors can decide what patients need to know.”)\n– Contractual consent (“Sign here\, then forever hold your peace.”) \nThis fundamental misunderstanding of consent robs patients of the right to control what happens to their own bodies\, and can cause serious harm. Instead\, Dr. Zha offers a radical new vision of medical consent culture—one that embraces collectivity\, accessibility\, and compassion. This provocative book will validate anyone who has felt ignored\, gaslight\, or violated in the doctor’s office and inspire those working in the healthcare system to push for change. \nAbout the Authors \nLu Chekowsky [she/they] is a writer and Emmy Award–winning creative director. In Lu’s most recent job in the advertising industry\, she was lead creative director for video at Facebook. Before that\, Lu was the SVP of brand creative at Comedy Central\, where they developed campaigns for shows like The Daily Show with Trevor Noah\, South Park\, Nathan for You\, and Broad City. Previously\, Lu was VP\, creative director at MTV\, where they made ads for Teen Wolf\, Jersey Shore\, The Real World\, and the Video Music Awards. Before working in entertainment\, Lu was a creative director and copywriter at Wieden+Kennedy\, where she over- saw work for brands such as Jordan\, Noxzema\, Delta Airlines\, and The National MS Society. Lu is a 2023 New York State Council on the Arts / New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow in nonfiction literature\, and their writing has been supported by MASS MoCA\, Vermont Studio Center\, Craigardan\, and Tin House. Her essays and poetry have been published in The Rumpus\, Pigeon Pages\, and Autofocus\, and her pieces about the cultural impacts of advertising have appeared in Ad Age and Muse by Clios. Lu lives in the Hudson Valley. \nZed Zha\, MD\, is a physician\, writer\, and medical cultural critic. In her book Consented: A Doctor’s Call to End Medical Violence and Reclaim Patient Autonomy (North Atlantic Books\, 2026)\, she argues that what medicine calls “consent” is often anything but\, and calls for a reimagining of care rooted in autonomy\, transparency\, and trust. She writes Ask The Patient\, a widely read newsletter where she gives language to experiences many patients have felt but never been able to name. \nThe event is free and open to all people\, but we encourage and appreciate a donation of $5-20 in support of the work of Charis Circle\, our programming non-profit. Donate on Crowdcast or via our website: www.chariscircle.org/donate. \nPlease contact us at info@chariscircle.org or 404-524-0304 if you would like ASL interpretation at this event.

SUMMARY:"The Foreigner"\, a comedy by Larry Shue
DESCRIPTION:Renegade Theatre Company is excited to present “The Foreigner”\, a comedy by Larry Shue. \nMAKE A RESERVATION in advance at bit.ly/RTCtheforeigner \nVENUE « Virginia-Highland Church at 743 Virginia Ave NE\, Atlanta\nThere is free parking available across the street at Virginia Highland Elementary School. There is limited parking onsite at the church. Please plan to take public transportation\, a ride share or arrive early to find street parking. We will begin shows promptly\, so please plan ahead to be on time. \nPERFORMANCE DATES\n• Wednesday\, July 15th\, 2026 • 8PM\n• Thursday\, July 16th\, 2026 • 8PM\n• Friday\, July 17th\, 2026 • 8PM\n• Saturday\, July 18th\, 2026 • 2PM & 8PM \nCOST OF ADMISSION\nWe offer admission on a “pay what you can” basis. We suggest a donation of $20 for folks who are able. Donations can be processed in CASH at the door or online via GiveLively (links to Venmo\, PayPal\, Stripe and more). \nCAUSE WE’RE SUPPORTING\nAs with all of our productions\, a portion of proceeds will be donated to a cause we believe in. To further align our production with the themes of acceptance and community that are the underpinning of this show\, a portion of the proceeds from this run will be donated to New American Pathways. As a Georgia-based nonprofit\, their mission is to help refugees and newcomers from all over the world navigate the journey from arrival to citizenship. By supporting their work in refugee resettlement\, English literacy\, and career advancement\, we hope to honor the play’s message of finding a sense of belonging and ensuring that everyone\, regardless of where they come from\, has the opportunity to thrive in our local community. \nSYNOPSIS\nIn a remote fishing lodge in rural Georgia\, a pathologically shy man named Charlie seeks a quiet escape from the world. To save him from the strain of conversation\, his friend convinces the local residents that Charlie is a “foreigner” who understands no English. The plan backfires with hilarious results as the lodge’s colorful inhabitants—from a cynical heiress to a scheming preacher—begin to treat Charlie as a silent confidant\, confessing their deepest secrets and dark scandals right to his face. What follows is a high-stakes\, mile-a-minute farce where a man who just wanted to be invisible finds himself the only person capable of saving the day.\n“A comic masterpiece… Shue’s play is a tribute to the power of the human spirit to find a common language\, even when the words are all wrong.” — The New York Times \nCONTENT WARNING\nWhile The Foreigner is a celebrated comedy\, its plot centers on a conflict with a local group motivated by xenophobia and extremism. Our production is committed to exploring these themes with modern intentionality\, specifically focusing on the absurdity of hate while prioritizing the safety of our performers and audience. To ground the conflict in a more recognizable contemporary context\, we will be utilizing a “Proud Boys” aesthetic and physicality for many of the antagonists. In terms of staging\, we plan to use very limited traditional regalia\, supplementing the wardrobe with modern-inspired “inflammatory” costuming (ie: “Proud Boys” references). This approach allows us to clearly identify the threat and the play’s anti-bigotry message without unnecessarily overwhelming the space with historical trauma-based imagery. We are dedicated to maintaining an open dialogue throughout the rehearsal process to ensure a supportive environment for all artists involved. \nWHEELCHAIR ACCESS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE – Our wheelchair elevator is currently out of commission and being serviced. We’ll update this form as soon as it is up and running again. Please email info@renegadetheatreco.org for any questions about accessing the space.

SUMMARY:Seared
DESCRIPTION:With a savvy restaurant consultant and a waiter with dreams of his own added to the mix – everything starts to ignite in flames in this hilarious and insightful new play that explores what happens when art and money collide. \nAudiences will be up close to the action as the Woodstock Stage is transformed into the intimate kitchen of a New York City restaurant. SEARED is calling you into the kitchen to DISCOVER THE FIRE! \nHarry – a culinary genius with a flare for the dramatic – receives a positive review in a food magazine for his signature scallops and his business partner can see their restaurant finally making money. The catch – Harry refuses to ever make the scallops again. \nSEARED is a play that asks questions we are all deeply familiar with – what happens when the things that feel so intimately personal and our own become something that belongs to everyone? It’s also a play where we explore – intimately- the world of high-stakes cuisine\, and enter into the kitchen for a front-row look. We here at Woodstock Arts are so excited to create a fully functional kitchen onstage for this show and cook a meal for the audience to see\, hear\, and even smell! (We may not have enough portions for everyone to taste\, unfortunately).

SUMMARY:The Drowsy Chaperone
DESCRIPTION:Winner of five Tony Awards\, including Best Book and Best Original Score\, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Golden Age musical\, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another.\nWith the houselights down\, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding\, a bumbling best man\, a desperate theatre producer\, a not-so-bright hostess\, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs\, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone\, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.
