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:The World(s) She Made: Composing The Radical Lives of Kathleen Neal Cleaver
DESCRIPTION:The World(s) She Made: Composing the Radical Lives of Kathleen Neal Cleaver is the first public photography exhibit to explore the exceptional life of Kathleen Neal Cleaver. It draws heavily from the personal collection that Ms. Cleaver curated for decades and includes a few images from other collections such as that of Dr. Doris Derby. This photography show chronicles Cleaver’s personal journey from the child of a U.S. Foreign Service officer living across the U.S. South\, Asia\, and West Africa to a leader in the Black Panther Party and the international Black Power movement; and as she went from living “inside exile” (accompanying her fugitive husband to Algeria and France while she herself still possessed relative freedom of movement) to Yale University as a student\, all while raising two children\, becoming a law professor at Yale and Emory Universities\, and building a career in human rights.

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:You Are Not Alone: BUGS!
DESCRIPTION:You Are Not Alone: BUGS!\, curated by Charlotte Woolf\, is a group exhibition featuring Atlanta-based painters\, sculptors\, photographers\, and multidisciplinary artists. The exhibition reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the Fine Arts Department at Georgia State University Perimeter College\, incorporating related programming in theater\, music\, and film centered around the theme of insects. \nThe title of the exhibition\, You Are Not Alone: BUGS!\, is drawn from the popular meme honoring the ecosystem’s smallest yet irreplaceable members. The exhibition features artists working across mediums whose practices engage insects and their vital role within ecological systems. Through themes of pollination\, decomposition\, labor\, and interdependence\, the show explores how insects shape the environments around us\, inviting both artists and viewers to reflect on the often-unseen networks sustained by these powerful creatures.

SUMMARY:REEL Art: installation Access Point - Work in Progress
DESCRIPTION:REEL Art: installation Access Point – Work in Progress\nby Adam Larsen in Collaboration with Sue Schroeder\nAccess Point is a feature length immersive documentary work in progress that follows individuals with disabilities as they navigate vast and varied natural landscapes. Through intimate interviews and vivid on-the ground footage\, the film explores often-overlooked barriers to outdoor accessibility—alongside powerful stories of resilience\, community\, and empowerment that emerge along the way.\nThe development of the documentary began with a diverse group of participantsconnected to Bay Area disability organizations\, including Ala Costa Centers\, BORP Adaptive Sports and Recreation\, The Center for Independent Living\, The Disability Cultural Center at UC Berkeley\, Friends of L’Arche San Francisco Bay Area\, Creative Growth\, and NIAD Art Center. These partnerships have provided invaluable insight\, ensuring the film authentically reflects the lived experiences of people across a range of disabilities. By featuring participants who are Deaf\, hard of hearing\, blind\, or who have mobility or cognitive disabilities\, Access Point highlights the many ways disability intersects with the natural world. It becomes not just a story of overcoming obstacles\, but also one of the universal human desire to engage with the outdoors—underscoring the transformative power of nature for all. Partnerships and participation in Access Point\nare currently expanding\, broadening its reach beyond the Bay Area to communities across the United States.\nAs participants explore outdoor spaces—from hiking trails and national parks to beaches\, forests\, and rivers—Access Point reveals the barriers people face\, including limited accessibility\, lack of resources\, and social or cultural exclusion. Each participant brings a unique relationship to nature: some are seasoned explorers whose access has been constrained\, while others are encountering these landscapes for the first time.\nThrough their experiences\, the film captures the joy\, reflection\, and sense of empowerment that nature can inspire when inequities in access are addressed. At its core\, Access Point is a story about inclusion\, equity\, and the right to experience the outdoors. It asserts that access to nature is a fundamental right not a privilege— and examines how inaccessible outdoor spaces intersect with broader societal inequities. By connecting the disability community with the environmental movement\,the film emphasizes that inclusive outdoor spaces are essential to a just and equitable society. It encourages a rethinking of how public spaces are designed and used\, fostering collaboration between environmental and disability advocates and sparking a broader conversation about access\, equity\, and belonging.\nUltimately\, Access Point invites viewers to reflect on their own relationships to the natural world and to envision a future where outdoor spaces are welcoming to everyone. Through compelling storytelling and the beauty of natural landscapes\, the documentary advocates for a world in which nature is a shared space—accessible\, engaging\, and inspiring for all.

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).

DESCRIPTION:Virginia-Highland Church is proud to present an all new experimental theatre performance devised by local artists titled F*CK THIS\, I’M GOING TO CHURCH taking place at Virginia-Highland Church every weekend of March. \nMarch 06 – March 28\, 2026\nFridays at 8:00pm\nSaturdays at 3:00pm and 7:00pm \nF*CK THIS\, I’M GOING TO CHURCH is an immersive\, experimental theatre experience that reclaims the idea of church as loving community\, rejecting religious dogma that preaches shame\, judgment\, oppression\, and abuse. In the midst of our tumultuous political climate and with the rise of harmful Christian nationalism\, local Atlanta theatre artists have come together to devise a performance that seeks to dismantle the toxic ideas of religiosity\, reclaiming Great Love as our collective eternal purpose. This walk-through experience is rooted in exploring healthy spiritual connection and creating community around healing from church-related trauma through humor\, dance\, narrative movement\, improvisation\, and meditative sound. \nAudiences will be guided by actors through a labyrinth of rooms inside Virginia-Highland Church\, each room holding a scene and activations for audiences to engage with. This walking path will involve stairs; comfortable shoes are encouraged. \nThe performance is 18+ due to mature themes\, explicit language\, and nudity. \nPerformances will run every Friday at 8:00pm and Saturday at 3:00pm and 7:00pm of March 2026 at Virginia-Highland Church UCC\, 743 Virginia Ave NE\, Atlanta\, GA 30306. Street parking is available surrounding the church. \nTickets are available on EventBrite for $20. Only 40 tickets will be sold for each performance to ensure an intimate experience for audiences.

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:The Dynamic! - Funny scenes\, songs and games!
DESCRIPTION:The Dynamic! is an improv show that thrives on chaos\, quick thinking\, and whatever ideas the audience throws at the cast. Every scene\, game\, and musical moment is built in real time\, and the performers lean into the unexpected with a mix of confidence\, silliness\, and genuine surprise. They know how to turn a wild suggestion or a joke that goes off the rails into something even funnier\, and half the joy is watching them navigate the mess together. The show moves fast\, the energy stays high\, and no two nights ever feel the same. You help spark the fun\, and the cast runs with it to create a comedy experience that feels alive\, loose\, and completely in the moment.
