SUMMARY:Repossessions
DESCRIPTION:“Repossessions” presents works by artist Chelle Barbour\, Marcus Brown\, Rodney Ewing\, Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle (Olomidara Yaya)\, Curtis Patterson and to be unveiled in the Spring of 2026\, a new artwork from Shanequa Gay. Each of the artists transformed objects from enslavement and Jim Crow offered by white families working toward repair. \nUsing a variety of visual strategies\, the artworks commissioned for “Repossessions” contribute to viewers’ understanding of the long aftermath of enslavement and the need for envisioning reparation. The title of the exhibition names the process of giving Black artists possession of historical objects and their facsimiles\, allowing them to “repossess” them from white family archives of enslavement\, and alter their existence. \n“Repossessions” is an indictment of the history of human ownership and its violent\, multigenerational\, and international legacy that demands to be confronted and reckoned with to this day. \n“Repossessions” was commissioned by The Reparations Project and is curated by Bridget R. Cooks\, Ph.D.\, independent curator\, scholar\, and professor of African American studies and art history at the University of California\, Irvine. The exhibition is an initiative of The Reparations Project in collaboration with Reparations4Slavery and originated at the California African American Museum (CAAM). The presentation at the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art is curated by Brandy Pettijohn\, Ph.D. and made possible by the generous support of Sarah Eisner and the Friends of the Museum.

SUMMARY:35 Years at Paradise Garden - Photography by Mikel Yeakle
DESCRIPTION:Paradise Garden Foundation presents 35 Years at Paradise Garden\, a photography exhibition by Mikel Yeakle on view March 7 through May 24\, 2026. The exhibition brings together more than three decades of Yeakle’s photographic engagement with Howard Finster’s historic art environment. \nYeakle first visited Paradise Garden in the late 1980s\, making his earliest photographs in 1989. He returned repeatedly in the decades that followed\, developing an ongoing relationship with the site. Rather than capturing a single moment\, the work unfolds as a photographic meditation on Paradise Garden shaped through sustained observation\, intimacy\, and time. \nMost of the works in the exhibition are composite images created through digital layering of photographs made at Paradise Garden across those years. Rather than single-moment views\, these works merge multiple exposures into unified compositions. The photographs are intended to appear effortless\, though they are the result of deliberate restraint and an ongoing dialogue with place\, balancing documentation with interpretation.\n“Like Howard Finster’s own practice\, built from found materials and layered messages\, Mikel Yeakle’s photographs embody a dialogue between reality and imagination\,” said Davia Weatherill\, Executive Director of Paradise Garden Foundation. “They honor Paradise Garden as it exists while recognizing that the site continues to invite reinterpretation\, inspiring new artistic responses across generations.” \nOriginally from Indiana and a graduate of the Art Institute of Atlanta\, Yeakle has long been active within the southern photography community\, including sustained involvement with the Atlanta Photography Group and the Little River Arts Council in Mentone\, Alabama. His work reflects a commitment to photography not simply as documentation\, but as interpretation—an effort to reconcile observation\, intuition\, and memory\, and to honor the complexity found within seemingly simple spaces. \nParadise Garden\, located in the Pennville community just north of Summerville\, Georgia\, is the four-acre art environment created by Reverend Howard Finster (1916–2001)\, one of America’s most recognized self-taught artists. Today\, the site remains a place of pilgrimage and artistic dialogue\, continuing to inspire new generations of artists. \nAn opening reception will be held Saturday\, March 7 at 2:30 PM\, featuring light refreshments and an artist talk with Mikel Yeakle. 35 Years at Paradise Garden is included with regular admission to the art environment and remains on view through May 24\, 2026. For hours and visitor information\, visit ParadiseGardenFoundation.org. \nAbout Paradise Garden Foundation\nParadise Garden Foundation preserves and interprets the art and legacy of Howard Finster through stewardship of his historic art environment\, exhibitions\, and educational programming. Located in northwest Georgia and listed on the National Register of Historic Places\, Paradise Garden welcomes thousands of visitors annually and serves as a center for folk and self-taught art.

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.

SUMMARY:DÉJÀ VU
DESCRIPTION:Spalding Nix Fine Art is thrilled to announce DÉJÀ VU\, a presentation of 4 shows by Susan Hable\, Esteban Patino\, Stacie U. Rose and Michael Porten. \nSusan Hable’s “Tending the Wild Quiet” transforms her garden into bold\, luminous paintings that are reflective of her inner emotional landscape where growth\, attunement and joy abound. Esteban Patino’s “Shapeshifter” explores the deconstruction of meaning\, utilizing an invented set of symbols that resemble language as building blocks\, to create paintings and sculptures that appear to form familiar figures. Stacie U. Rose’s “Physical Invisible” embodies that which we cannot see\, those defining sensations of a specific place or particular moment\, to create energetic abstract mixed media works. Michael Porten’s “Enjoy Yourself” is a series of oil paintings of flowers first rendered realistically in an alla prima style and then blurred\, exploring moments of intense change\, growth and the distortion of time experienced through these periods. \nPlease join us for the openings on Friday\, March 27\, 6-8 p.m. & Saturday\, March 28\, 12-4 p.m.!\nDÉJÀ VU will be on view in the gallery from March 27 – May 22. \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:Industrial Impressionism
DESCRIPTION:This event is a solo exhibition of works created by Hoyt Stover\, an emerging artist based in North Georgia. The body of work was designed to honor and highlight hard-work and creativity through the depiction of cast iron pours and industrial scenes. Each work focuses on apotheosizing metal-work artists and industrial workers as they navigate the dangerously stunning environment of the forge. Strong Central lighting from the forge highlights the subjects in a dramatic and heroic way while loose brushstrokes and impasto complement the rugged\, industrial-like scenes. Central themes of teamwork\, community\, and perseverance are present throughout the entire body of work.

SUMMARY:Deborah Dancy "Pivot" Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Deborah Dancy
”Pivot”\nNew Paintings\nApril 10 – May 23\, 2026\nMarcia Wood Gallery\nOpening Reception: Friday\, April 10\, 6–8 PM \nMarcia Wood Gallery is pleased to present Pivot\, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Deborah Dancy and the artist’s third exhibition with the gallery. \nIn Pivot\, Deborah Dancy presents a new body of paintings that marks a turning point in her practice\, as layered pours of paint replace the brushwork that previously defined much of her approach. Gravity\, movement\, and accumulation guide the formation of each composition\, allowing the works to unfold through a process that embraces fluidity\, chance\, and transformation. \nWhile this direction represents a notable development in Dancy’s practice\, it extends an element long present in her work. Earlier poured ink and paint works on paper now expand onto canvas\, where successive layers of pigment create surfaces that appear to gather\, disperse\, and reconfigure across the picture plane. Veils of color gather and disperse across the surface\, creating luminous fields that shift between depth and atmosphere. Rather than directing the image through deliberate brush marks\, the artist engages a process in which material behavior and intuition interact\, allowing form to emerge through movement\, density\, and transparency. \nThe title Pivot signals a moment of transition within the artist’s ongoing engagement with abstraction and perception. By relinquishing familiar gestures and embracing the unpredictable behavior of poured paint\, Dancy enters a new phase in which the act of painting becomes a fluid exchange between artist\, material\, and chance. The resulting works reward sustained viewing\, as shifting layers of color and light gradually reveal their spatial and atmospheric complexity.\nBorn in 1949 in Bessemer\, Alabama\, and raised in Chicago\, Deborah Dancy is a nationally recognized painter whose abstract works explore perception\, atmosphere\, and the sensory experience of color. She retired in 2017 as Professor Emeritus of Art at the University of Connecticut\, where she taught in the Department of Art and Art History from 1981 to 2017.\nDancy is the recipient of numerous honors\, including a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship\, a National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artist Grant administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts\, a Yaddo Fellowship and the American Antiquarian Society’s William Randolph Hearst Fellowship. In 2018\, her work was included in Magnetic Fields: Expanding American Abstraction\, 1960s to Today\, organized by the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and later presented at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.\nHer work is held in major public collections including the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, and the High Museum of Art\, Atlanta\, among others.\nOver nearly five decades of practice\, Dancy has developed a distinctive body of work that explores the expressive and perceptual possibilities of abstraction.

SUMMARY:Richard Dial | American Idols
DESCRIPTION:Johnson Lowe Gallery is pleased to announce two new exhibitions opening April 10th\, 2026. \nThe gallery will present American Idols\, an exhibition of sculptures by Richard Dial spanning 2006–2025\, marking the artist’s first solo exhibition with Johnson Lowe Gallery in Atlanta. Known for transforming metal furniture into anthropomorphic forms\, Dial brings together his signature chair works alongside rarely exhibited freestanding figures. The exhibition takes its title from American Idol\, one of two non-chair sculptures on view\, referencing the early-2000s television competition where performance and public judgment shape outcome. \nAcross the exhibition\, Dial’s sculptures articulate a shared language of posture\, pressure\, and presence. The chairs read as bodies\, carrying histories of labor\, family\, and the cultural landscape of the American South\, while the figurative works heighten themes of devotion\, spectacle\, and longing. Together\, these works form a cohesive meditation on visibility and belief\, where steel becomes a conduit for human experience and the conditions that shape it.

SUMMARY:Gommaar Gilliams | Sky Atlas
DESCRIPTION:Johnson Lowe Gallery is pleased to announce two new exhibitions opening April 10th\, 2026. \nThe gallery will present Sky Atlas\, an exhibition of new paintings by Gommaar Gilliams\, marking the artist’s first exhibition with Johnson Lowe Gallery. In this body of work\, Gilliams builds paintings through layered processes that echo the formation of archetypes\, drawing from fables\, myths\, allegories\, and astrological systems where meaning accumulates through return rather than resolution. Surfaces composed of stitched elements\, dense pigment\, and visible corrections hold a sense of time\, as figures such as greyhounds\, birds\, and celestial forms move through the compositions with symbolic resonance. \nGommaar’s painting operates as a form of pre-linguistic storytelling\, where image and material converge to produce works that feel both enduring and unsettled. Gilliams’ compositions balance moments of clarity with ongoing revision\, allowing narrative to remain open and continuously formed. Sky Atlas reflects on the desire for coherence and meaning\, holding that impulse in tension with the understanding that such structures are always provisional.

SUMMARY:The Family Album of Ralph Eugene Meatyard
DESCRIPTION:A largely self-taught photographer\, Ralph Eugene Meatyard (American\, 1925–1972) was a pioneering and inventive artist who created some of the most original images of the mid-twentieth century. His work defies easy categorization as he experimented across various genres and subjects\, and throughout his career\, he maintained the ethos of an amateur\, approaching photography with a sense of affection\, discovery\, and surprise. He is best known for his staged scenes that suggest an absurd fantasy set in the dilapidated houses and banal suburban environs near his home in Lexington\, Kentucky. These scenes\, often featuring his family as actors and using props such as masks and dolls\, reveal Meatyard’s search for inner truths amid the ordinary. \nThis exhibition\, coinciding with the artist’s centenary\, features the thirty-six prints that comprise the artist’s first monograph (Gnomon Press\, 1970)—one of only two books he published in his lifetime—which Meatyard intended to stand as his definitive artistic statement. All thrity-six prints were recently acquired by the High for the Museum’s permanent collection. Through his idiosyncratic selection of images\, this exhibition explores how Meatyard’s singular approach and voracious curiosity expanded photography’s expressive and conceptual potential.

SUMMARY:Isamu Noguchi: “I am not a designer”
DESCRIPTION:Although Isamu Noguchi declared in 1949\, “I am not a designer\,” the internationally acclaimed artist regularly engaged with the space-shaping possibilities of design\, imagining and producing work in architecture\, industrial design\, ceramics\, furniture\, lighting\, stage sets\, and landscape design. In spring 2026\, the High will debut the artist’s first design retrospective in nearly twenty-five years\, featuring nearly two hundred objects\, many never or rarely exhibited\, spanning all facets of his creative output. \nIsamu Noguchi: “I am not a designer” coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of Playscapes\, a bicentennial gift for the city of Atlanta commissioned by the High in collaboration with the City of Atlanta Parks Department and the only one of Noguchi’s playgrounds built in the United States during his lifetime. \nHighlights of the exhibition will include sculptural models of potential and unrealized projects\, such as the recently rediscovered plaster for Play Mountain (1933); tables and stools designed for manufacturers like Herman Miller and Knoll; and a house model Noguchi designed in collaboration with architect Kazumi Adachi. The exhibition will also feature several large-scale installations\, notably the stage set for choreographer Martha Graham’s Seraphic Dialogue (1955)\, one of Noguchi’s innovative pieces of play equipment\, and a commissioned film capturing some of Noguchi’s site-specific plazas and gardens. The diverse\, interactive presentation will explore works that embrace function to understand Noguchi as a multinational\, interdisciplinary artist and designer who shaped a more open\, inclusive world. After Atlanta\, the exhibition will travel to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem\, Massachusetts (September 19\, 2026–January 3\, 2027) and the Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester in Rochester\, New York (February 13–June 6\, 2027).

SUMMARY:Melissa Harshman “A Delicate Balance”
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Harshman “A Delicate Balance” will be on view March 22-April 19 at EYEDRUM Gallery. This is Melissa Harshman’s\, Lifetime Teaching Award Exhibition.\nOpening reception on Sunday March 22\, 3-6 PM.\nClosing\, with an Artist Talk\, on Sunday April 19\, 1-4 PM.\nGallery viewing hours are Saturdays\, Noon-4 pm. \nThis current and relevant exhibition brings together recent works from Harshman’s practice in printmaking and papermaking that explore grief\, loss\, mindfulness\, and resilience through material\, color\, and process. Peace Pieces\, created during the 2026 Pentaculum Residency at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts\, was inspired by the 2300-mile\, Walk for Peace led by Buddhist monks from Texas to Washington D.C. in 2026. The work references the colors of their garments\, the papermaking process becoming a meditative act—an effort to remain present amid national unrest and uncertainty. \nSince her father’s death in 2021\, the white chrysanthemum has become a recurring form in her work\, associated with mourning rituals. The flower appears in works such as White Chrysanthemum and the Ghost Flower series as a vessel for memory\, holding fragments of earlier prints and reassembling them into images grounded in the present. Other works emerge from experimentation and play\, using layered cotton\, abaca\, and flax pulp with stencils and pigmented pulp. In response to the 2016 and 2024 elections\, darker works confront grief and despair while seeking moments of quiet beauty\, resilience\, and hope.
