The ArtsXchange is one beneficiary of Dr. Derby's incredible generosity, and this exhibition is a tribute to her journey and the selfless-ness demonstrated by her life's work. By uplifting her legacy, we hope to educate and engage multi-generational communities, now and always, with the story of this remarkable woman.

- A Room of Her Own
A Room of Her Own A Room of Her Own Women Studio Artists From AXC's 40 Year History May 4, 2024 – June 22, 2024 CURATOR Lisa Tuttle ARTISTS Lisa Alembik, Beverly Buchanan, Dana Cibulski, Jaynie Gillman Crimmins, Connie Cross, N’Dieye Gray Danavall, Theresa Davis, Elyse Defoor, Rebecca DesMarais, Myriam Dondzina, Mirtha Ferrer, Anna Hamer, Caroline Lathan-Stiefel, Alice Lovelace-Riley, Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier, Theresa “Wise Mecca” Mingo, Charmaine Minniefield, Barbara Nesin “Batya Tamar”, Donna Pickens, Sankofa Selassie, Karley Sullivan, Chris Tholl, Lisa Tuttle, Laura Vela and Pandra Williams A Room Of Her Own: Women Studio Artists From AXC's 40 Year History will be an exhibition of artwork by 25 powerhouse women artists who have, or have had, studios at the ArtsXchange, either in Grant Park or in East Point. The dates of the exhibition are May 4 – June 22, 2024, in the Jack Sinclair Gallery at the ArtsXchange. Events An opening reception is planned for 6-8 p.m. Saturday, May 4. A Room of Her Own | Opening Reception May 4, 2024, 6:00 – 8:00 PM| East Point Register Now An Artist Talk moderated by Malkia M'Buzi Moore is planned for 2-5 p.m. Sunday, May 5. A Room of Her Own | Artist Talk May 5, 2024, 2:00 – 4:00 PM| Sinclair Gallery at ArtsXchange Register Now A wide variety of artwork will be on display, including paintings, drawings, mixed media work, photography, small installations, sculpture, ceramics and miniature dioramas. For artist and curator Lisa Tuttle, this exhibition of multi-generational women artists represents an unique contribution to Metro Atlanta’s art history, as well as a gathering of many women artists and colleagues who have inspired her to remain committed to the creative life. The title comes from the writings of Virginia Woolf, “A Room of One's Own,” first published in September 1929. The work is based on two lectures Woolf delivered in October 1928 at Newnham College and Girton College, women's colleges at the University of Cambridge. In her essay, Woolf uses metaphors to explore social injustices and comments on women's lack of free expression and recognition as creatives. "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." Tuttle feels the same idea is valid in terms of women visual artists and their studios. Tuttle writes, “ At 72, I find it is increasingly important to put my energies into formalizing records about my own work, and that of other artists I know as well. I have seen influential artists’ work fade from memory. Organizing this exhibition of the diverse women artists is to honor the work of some remarkable colleagues, each of whom has taught me something along the way. Some had studios at the Arts Exchange before I became a tenant, and others I knew to varying degrees over the 23 years I had a studio at the Arts Exchange building in Grant Park. And now, I can bring them together with the women artists who have, or have had, studios in our beautiful new building in East Point.” Planned as part of the ArtsXchange’s 40th Anniversary celebration, this exhibition will both document, and place into context the wide variety of individual women artists who have worked in our buildings over the last 40 years. The gallery program is the longest continually running program at the Arts Exchange/ArtsXchange, and several of these women have played important roles in the Gallery Committee over the years.

- The Haunts of Black Kirby
The Haunts of Black Kirby The Haunts of Black Kirby An exhibition of works from the dawn of Afrofuturism Sept 2, 2023 - Oct 28, 2023 CURATORS Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library ARTIST Black Kirby The Haunts of Black Kirby Presented in partnership with the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library Black Kirby—the pseudonym assumed by the acclaimed visual artists and professors, John Jennings and Stacey Robinson—are Alchemists. They take raw materials from black history, hip hop, and comic book mythology and remix them to create new universes, never-before seen technologies, and biting satires about the world we live in today. Each of the Black Kirby images serves as a funky, rare artifact from an alternate universe, fully formed, and autonomous from its earthly origins. The works in this exhibition are on loan from the Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Library. The Haunts of Black Kirby is derived from “The Alchemist’s Notebook: The Satire, Remixes, and Haunts of Black Kirby”, an exhibition organized by the AUC Woodruff Library in 2019. It featured more than fifty digital artworks by Black Kirby and artifacts from the AUC Woodruff Library’s Archives Research Center exploring the topics of Black history, hip-hop, and comic book mythology.

Imagine the alchemists at work in their lair. Watch as they use a set of rusty tools to handle raw, crude materials and melt them down to more malleable forms. As they carefully mix the isolated substances together, listen as they whisper a forgotten tongue from a dusty leather-bound notebook. When the ritual is over and the notebook has been cast aside into the shadows, you witness the substance start to stir. As it twists and turns in the immense heat, you smell the stench of a hot fusion that breathes life into a new creation, indeed a new element, that has never existed before. This new element is the art of Black Kirby, and this exhibition provides a peek into their notebook of esoteric spells. - Clint Fluker, Ph.D. All Exhibits SINCLAIR GALLERY NEWS The Local Take With Kiplyn Primus - Reclaimed Vision: The Art of Upcycling through May 24th at the Artsxchange ArtsXchange Apr 19 1 min read Congratulations to the winners of the ArtsXchange Sinclair Gallery Juried Show - Reclaimed Visions: The Art of Upcycling | Artist Talk - Sat.

- 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.

- PhotoVoice 2025
PhotoVoice 2025 Photovoice Communities are always speaking to us… are we listening? March 25, 2025 - April 8, 2025 CURATORS National Center for Primary Care Morehouse School of Medicine PHOTOGRAPHER Chanda Scott Featuring a collection of photographs captured by community members each telling a personal story of joy, resilience, hope, and the importance of health equity. Since 2021, in partnership with Morehouse School of Medicine, East Point has been on a journey to advance health equity through policy. During a unique exhibition, forge deep connections with photographs that uplift the lived experiences of East Point residents. Communities Are Always Speaking to Us … Are We Listening? (2025) magnifies the lived experiences of the residents of the City of East Point, Georgia, unveiling barriers to health and cries for governmental support, while highlighting the feelings of joy and social connectedness within the community. East Point has a long history of structural racism, resulting in pervasive health inequities, with high rates of chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. This exhibition highlights historical challenges, reflects nuanced realities, and emphasizes community resilience. Each photo evokes strong emotions, including happiness, frustration, and hope. Key themes emerged, including the desire for improved walkability and greenspace and better access to healthy foods, affordable housing, and healthcare. The collection is a product of Photovoice—a culturally grounded research method wherein photographs often taken by participants are used to explore and address community needs, stimulate individual empowerment, and create a critical dialogue to advocate for community change—and additional captures of community events. The photovoice project was conducted via a collaboration between East Point photographer, Chanda Scott, MLP Communications, the East Point Health Equity Community Advisory Board, and Morehouse School of Medicine and was part of a 3-year project, Advancing Health Equity through Policy in the City of East Point, Georgia , funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health. The exhibition was displayed in August 2024 and March 2025 at the ArtsXChange, a community cultural center in East Point, Georgia, that provides arts and cultural services to the public. Five of the photos were installed as permanent exhibits at locations across the City.
