Become a Sponsor For sponsorship inquires, email sponsorship@artsxchange.org . In 1984, a group of determined artists and activists came together to open the Arts Exchange located in Grant Park. They had been charged by the vision of Mayor Maynard Jackson who believed that art was important to the growth of Atlanta. He supported the Neighborhood Arts Center which later burned down. Several of these artists carried this spirit forward gathering in various spaces to create. Ebon Dooley, our founder, took on the challenge to find a place that would welcome everyone. This sense of purpose and self-empowerment is the foundation of the ArtsXchange. For over 40 years, we have nurtured artists who in turn shared with us through engaging performances, exhibits, workshops, and classes. We have also been a safe place for those organizing and educating others about social injustices and the need for systemic change. Five years ago, we made the intentional choice to move to the city of East Point. It is here that we are planting deep roots for the next 40 years. We are asking ourselves, “What is the artist’s role in community development? How can we creatively promote dialogue around real issues impacting the quality of life around us?” These are big questions, but we have started to plant the seeds, whether by encouraging our neighbors to come learn about and plant their own garden; becoming a USDA-certified People’s Garden, or launching a series of Community Conversations around a variety of pressing topics. We are building important partnerships that move across Metro Atlanta. And we need your support!

From Stono To Now From Stono To Now : The Fire This time Black Resistance in American Art, 1739 - Present October 14, 2025 - November 22, 2025 CURATED BY Black Art In America EVENTS Opening Reception Sat, October 18, 2025 | 3PM - 6PM FREE | Open to the public Jack Sinclair Gallery ArtsXchange, 2148 Newnan St, East Point, GA 30344, USA RSVP Curators Statement - Najee Dorsey From Stono to Now: The Fire This Time Black Resistance in American Art, 1739 - Present “If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.” — Frederick Douglass From the Stono Rebellion of 1739 to the murals of Atlanta and the marches in Ferguson, the language of resistance has always been spoken — in movement, in memory, and in the marks we make upon the world. From Stono to Now: The Fire This Time charts a powerful lineage of Black rebellion and creative defiance, presenting a curatorial arc that spans uprisings, visionaries, and visual declarations of freedom. This exhibition brings together works from multiple exhibited collections that speak to our shared legacy of protest, self-determination, and survival. Featured works include: Traci Mims’ searing depictions of Sojourner Truth, Fred Hampton, and Huey P. Newton, which honor the lineage of Black radical thought and leadership. Jamaal Barber’s To Be Free and Underground Railroad, which visualize both the physical and spiritual journey toward liberation. Najee Dorsey’s Gullah Jack and Google Robert Charles, brought to life through evocative photomontage and mixed media, reminding us that rebellion is rooted in American soil. Kevin Williams and other contemporary voices challenge and expand the narrative, anchoring today’s resistance in the textures of daily Black life, love, and refusal. “This is not nostalgia — it is testimony. A living archive.” From sugarcane fields to city blocks, from coded quilts to bullhorn chants, From Stono to Now frames the art of resistance not as relic, but as a roadmap. As the fires of change continue to burn, it asks: What does resistance look like today — and are we ready to carry it forward? All Exhibits SINCLAIR GALLERY NEWS Oh shelia!
