  • Sista Shaman

    Sista Shaman Studio Artist https://www.sistashaman.com/ Iya Ò̩s̩úndélé O̩láifá O̩báfúnmiláyò̩ Onífádé Priestess of the West African Òriṣa tradition Sista Shaman is a photographic ambassador. Her unforgettable images capture the essence of culture and ritual with passion and authenticity. Born in America to African-American parents, her ancestral DNA has called her back “home” where she uses her lens to document and promote African heritage, culture and its influences on people across the Diaspora. From Gambia, Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa and Swaziland to various Caribbean Islands, she has traveled seeking spiritual and ritual events to capture for this purpose. Her artistic mission is to document how people of African descent across the diaspora have restored their ancestral ties via sacred traditions and culture. Her work captures the essence of culture and ritual in this context. Viewers are invited to witness living moments and experience ritual/cultural events to which they otherwise would not have access. She serves as a translator within the secret rooms of ceremonial life, walking a fine line between being a participant and voyeur. The images captured are intimate, possessing ancestral and communal significance. In the moment of shooting, she allows herself to enter the experience and understand the ritual from all points. She is the dancer, the priest, even the fly on the wall. OUR STAFF STUDIO ARTIST EBON DOOLEY HONOREES

  • Heavy Clouds

    Heavy Clouds Heavy Clouds A Solo Exhibition from C Flux Sing Dec 14, 2019 - Jan 18, 2020 CURATOR Courtney Brooks ARTIST C. Flux Sing While hundreds of clubgoers danced to the infectious rhythms honoring the African music legend Fela Kuti, there was also a large crowd incredibly standing still gawking at the live artwork being created by Atlanta-based artist Craig “Flux” Singleton aka C. Flux Sing . Using marker and acrylic paint, Sing’s amalgam of pastels and primary colors bordered by bold black lines collectively tell the story of the Black struggle, unity, humor, beauty… Somehow he takes themes from opposite extremes and vibrantly fuses them together to create masterpieces that quickly are purchased to adorn walls throughout the U.S. Whether it’s a hipster or an executive of a major corporation, a growing legion of admires are happily supporting C. Flux Sing’s amazing work. An import from Laurelton, New York, Mr. Sing has made Atlanta his home for more than a decade. However, getting his just recognition as one of the city’s most revered artists took patience. Currently, Georgia’s capital is taking on a revolutionary stance by finally embracing art in all its facets; in particular, Sing’s penchant for using vibrant color schemes which captivatingly tell the true story of the Black experience. But while he shines as a fine artist who consistently sells his artwork during exhibits including the globetrotting Art, Beats + Lyrics, “24 Reasons to Live”, I’m A Beast, and other productions which strive on showcasing particularly urban art created by the avant-garde, Sing refuses to be pigeonholed. Major corporations including Boost Mobile, And 1, Scion, and New Balance regularly hire him and his effortless grasp for graphic design, print media, and branding. So is there a way to describe Sing’s style? “I could never define what my style is,” Sing says after deep thought. “It’s continuously changing due to my self-growth and inspiration. I get bored easily so I am always driven to do something new that pushes the boundaries. I am inspired by comic strips, comic books, graffiti, abstract, graphic design, urban decay, surrealism and people; these are things that change randomly so there is always something new to create.” Although Sing’s creativity can be fueled from numerous outside sources and appear impulsive, his goals are very solid and leave no room for debate. “I really want to travel and spread my fine arts across the world,” he unveils. “I want to do large conceptual installations that inspire change; especially murals. It would be great to do it by myself, but I am equally open to do it with a union of artists.” Laughing, he concludes, “The end result is I really want to inspire children. It may sound cliché, but they truly represent the future. No one can argue that.” So whether it’s heading a new branding project for a major corporation based in a skyscraper in Atlanta’s bustling Midtown business district, or adorning a side of a building in Nairobi with a vibrant mural promoting self-determination, C.Flux Sing will always have an audience who will appreciate art that comes from the heart.

All three are appropriate and underscore that the voice, the word, the story are my primary artistic tools. My work has evolved over the years from the intimately personal to work that resounds with social and cultural truths that transcend my ethnicity and sexual identity. The ability to create and share my work is very dear to me. My art is my second skin. It allows me to connect with others in a personal way even though in most cases we have just met. Poetry is the portal to initiate dialogue. OUR STAFF STUDIO ARTIST EBON DOOLEY HONOREES

  • The Aboriginal Museum

    The Aboriginal Museum The Aboriginal Museum A Revelation of True Identity Feb 11, 2022 - Mar 7, 2022 CURATORS Ray Lewis Christian Johnson ARTISTS Ugo Agoruah Thomas Bess Montez Brénard Markeidric The Great Williams Riggs Sabb Ron Smith The Sinclair Gallery hosts a group showing titled, “The Aboriginal Museum.” The exhibit will run from February 11, 2022 – March 7, 2022; opening reception begins at 7pm. Sinclair Gallery will also hold an artist talk, at 2pm on February 19, 2022. Artists of this exhibit: Ugo Agoruah, Thom Bess, Montez Brenard, Williams Riggs Sabb, and Ron Smith were selected by Co-Curators, Markeidric the Great and Ray Lewis. The aboriginal museum highlights aboriginal contemporary artists using their cultural connections and interest to depict their interpretations of fine art through a variety of mediums. The exhibition is presented as a museum with each artist providing their individual perspectives to help form a unified body of work that illuminates what is inaccurately referred to as “African-American” culture. The Aboriginal Museum brings six aboriginal contemporary artists together to reflect on their cultural experiences. The “Out of Africa” theory, based on the Trans-Atlantic slave trade is a direct conflict to the true history of Aboriginals in America. It’s not one size fits all. The Aboriginal Museum challenges that narrative and suggests that we are descendants of the original inhabitants, not “black” , not “African-American” but Aboriginal. In this exhibition, the artists will give viewers the ability to look at America through a different lens, that being from the point of view of The Aboriginal Artist. Each artist has been hand picked by Markeidric for their uniqueness, creative talent, and ability to depict their cultural experiences. _______________ Rayfield Lewis II Instagram @kingraylew Born in Savannah, raised in Athens, trained in Atlanta, Rayfield Lewis II is a self-taught creative visionary. He spent many years accepting behind the scene roles across many different creative mediums. In 2018 he was introduced to the visual art scene by way of transporting and installing art for galleries and designers. In 2020, through his company Suga Cane Syrup, he started a residency program at the Arts Exchange in Eastpoint, Ga where he opens up his art studio for creative minds to create. Artist like Thomas Bess, Ron Smith, Ugo Agoruah, and Debõrah Hughes are just a few of the names that have taken advantage to the residency. Rayfield curated his first exhibition in February of 2021 with Tim short. It was held at Parlor in the Castleberry Hills district of Atlanta, Ga where he is the curator for their arts and culture program. He went on to curate four other shows in 2021. His most recent with John Glover being a major success for such a short curating career. Rayfield is more than excited to continue his creative journey and to work intimately with the creative talents and geniuses of today to bring their art and their message to the world for everyone to see. Markeidric The Great Instagram - @markeidric Growing up in Atlanta opened opportunities for Markeidric and his family. As a kid he took on many sports in his spare time which at an early age introduced him to disciplines like hard work and determination. On top of being heavily involved with sports, he also discovered a great passion for art. At the age of 6 he was placed in private art lessons with the same teacher (Phillis Bostar) until he graduated high school at 17. At an early age he began studying masters, from Davinci and Rembrandt to Monet and Cezanne. After graduating, his learning relationship with Phillis was brought to an end so he began his pursuit of higher education attending Savannah College of Art and Design as a painter. His current body of work focuses on the contemporary evolution of classical painting techniques applied to modern subjects and concepts. Thus having been inspired by very few Black artists before him, he is what we could consider to be one of our first Post Modern Neo-Classical artist. Through manipulating paint application, things like landscapes, portraits, and interior spaces trigger the desire to engage his work. Markeidric The Great. Ugo Agoruah Instagram- @ugo_agoruah Ugo Agoruah is a Nigerian born artist, raised in Marietta, GA since early childhood. It is here; he started cultivating a love for artistic imagery and aesthetic. Even with his artistic capabilities, he chose to focus his studies on Biology, where he developed an interest in the human figure and its functions. By 2015 Ugo was hit with divine spark to create, and bring more focus on advancing and spreading his artistic practice. By 2018, Ugo obtained his Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree in Drawing and Painting from the Kennesaw State University School of Art & Design. Since arriving in the Atlanta art scene in 2015, Ugo has worked to capture and intrigue the community with his beautiful work, and his attention to aesthetic & narrative. Using the gift of art as a gateway to higher thinking, understanding, and discovery, Ugo takes inspiration from personal tales, art history, culture, and the classical muse to create work that can be described as transcendental and didactic. Thomas Bess Instagram- @thombess Thom Bess (or simply “Bess” as friends call him) is a new and exciting force in Contemporary Art, specializing in collage style paintings and drawings. Influenced by Picasso, Romere Bearden, and Stephanie Jackson, Bess’s work has been described as mystical, darkly funny, challenging, and uplifting, the kind of art that sparks conversation and debate. Bess was raised in the small town of Gray, GA with strong Christian values and all the contradictions of the American South. He moved to big city Atlanta at the age of 15 where he immediately became a fixture in the local arts community and beyond. Following a near death experience at 18, Bess began splitting his time between Jamaica and Amsterdam, where he began studying African centered metaphysics, and ironically began to reflect and channel his very American experiences onto canvas. Returning to the US in 2008, Bess started creating wall projections for small gatherings of friends in the newly re-emerging party and arts scene in Atlanta, depicting cult pop culture icons, literary figures, and people he encountered at the local coffee shop. He currently lives and works in Atlanta, GA. Montez Brénard Montez Brénard is an American artist, altruist, curator, designer, documentarian and inventor born and raised in PG County, Maryland. He started out drawing and using fabric paint to customize clothing for himself and classmates in elementary school. Throughout his childhood he explored various branches of arts including installations, sculpture, painting, mixed media, photography, videography and more. In 2010, he went on to design a clothing brand that was celebrated locally and sought after internationally. Several years later, he graduated with a B.F.A in Graphic Design from Savannah College of Art and Design. Some of his accomplishments include inventing a game, filing for a design patent, recording multiple musical projects and curating multi-sensory experiences for performance artists. Known for phrases like “The goal is to get it, then give it to people who need it.” and “If we don’t stick together we f*cked.” It’s not hard to tell that Montez values collaborating, sharing resources and tribalism.

  • The Spotlight Series-An Evening of original 10 minute plays

    01756a3a-e048-41a9-a62d-15e90f8ab0ed PRESS The Spotlight Series-An Evening of original 10 minute plays November 17, 2023 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEAS E THE SPOTLIGHT SERIES: AN EVENING OF ORIGINAL 10-MINUTE PLAYS Dec. 10 | 7 p.m. artsxchange.org/event-details/spotlight-series CONTACT: Angela Oliver, media@artsxchange.org , 404-624-4211 ArtsXchange sponsors evening of original plays by writers, actors formerly on strike The Spotlight Series to highlight injustices plaguing Atlanta EAST POINT, Ga. — Great ideas are often born through challenging times, says Chantal Maurice, actor and founder of CoStar Coaching . When the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists unions went on strike earlier this year, Maurice thought of an outlet for local strikers to keep their creativity in motion. “Artists struggle when they aren't able to exercise their gifts and talents,” she said. “The strike impacted artists mentally and financially, but The Spotlight Series allowed me to create something of purpose; a reason for artists to continue to create within the strike rules.” The Spotlight Series , an evening of seven original 10-minute plays by Atlanta-based writers, directors and producers, will debut at 7 p.m. Dec. 10 in the Paul Robeson Theater at ArtsXchange, 2148 Newnan St. in East Point. The ArtsXchange is sponsoring the event as part of its Paul Robeson Theater Incubator program, which provides free performance space for independent and emerging playwrights who embody his legacy. A nine-year career in TV and film has connected Maurice to many. Thus, she was able to “network across,” a term Issa Rae coined, she said, to find writers, directors and producers. “Any opportunity that I get, I will always look to the left and right of me and push my peers forward,” Maurice said. The plays tackle various sociopolitical matters, especially those plaguing Atlanta. “Sibling’s Keeper,” written by Kim Akia, exposes various forms of sex trafficking and the plight of the rescuing process, with Atlanta following Washington, D.C. in the highest rates of human trafficking. “Mask Off," written by Kayla Bennett, explores the role news media play in creating negative narratives about marginalized communities. And Onaji Rouse’s "Getting Repped” highlights racial discrimination in the workplace. While The Spotlight Series began solely for creators, Maurice said it has evolved her goals, such as her plan to partner with corporate diversity and inclusion departments to create more inclusive workspaces, using theater to highlight equity issues. “Art is one of the most powerful tools in activism because it forces people to feel,” she said. “Theater has the power to evoke emotions and broaden perspectives. It can empower people to take action.” Tickets are $30 and are available online or at the door. ABOUT THE ARTSXCHANGE The ArtsXchange , d/b/a the Southeast Community Cultural Center, was incorporated in 1983 and opened The Arts Exchange In 1984 in Grant Park, reshaping the landscape of Metro Atlanta’s arts scene. In East Point since 2017, the ArtsXchange empowers artists, social justice activists, and creative entrepreneurs to engage communities with innovative artistic learning experiences and cultural exchange.

  • TO THE WOMEN I LOVE

    TO THE WOMEN I LOVE TO THE WOMEN I LOVE A Solo Exhibition - John Glover Oct 8, 2021 – Nov 12, 2021 CURATOR Ray Lewis ARTIST John Glover About the Artist John Glover (b. 1969) has been a practicing artist for 30 years. While his work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions, John Glover: To the Women I Love is his solo exhibition debut. Glover’s most successful project to date, 100 Years of Thought , is a series of charcoal portraits of elders. While charcoal is the artist’s preferred medium, To the Women I Love diverges from this with colorful acrylic silhouettes, each representing women that significantly impacted his life. To the Women I Love is a personal memoir engaging the artist’s complicated relationship with his father, experiences as the only son in a family of six sisters, and observations as his mother led the family following his father’s untimely death. The series also documents Glover’s relationships with his daughter and former wife. These experiences not only shaped Glover’s perspectives of women, but the artist’s broader worldview.
