Sale of Building, New Beginnings

It’s a done deal!! We have completed the sale of the Kalb Street property. There is a lot of history in this building. Do you remember the first ROOTS festival? The summer of enrichment camp? The annual Kwanaa celebrations? Did you know there was a recording studio in the building run by Joe Jennings? Or that Terri Axam housed Total Dance at the ARTS EXCHANGE for years? And who could forget Sheria Enahora and Tabala Martial Arts. Eddie Billups followed me as Executive Director and brought in Freddie Hendricks and the Robeson Theatre they founded youth ensemble of Atlanta. We have lots of memories and many reasons to celebrate.
