THE SECOND COMING EXHIBITION AND BENEFIT FOR THE CREATIVES PROJECT 

The Creatives Project (TCP)  announces THE SECOND COMING, a haunting, evocative exhibition and benefit to be held at The Goat Farm Arts Center in West Midtown on Friday, October, 14th from 8pm to Midnight.

“Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed – in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.”

Following JUNG at HeART and a successful capital campaign this winter, The Creatives Project is excited to present the next installment in its exhibition series: THE SECOND COMING.

Based on themes of resurrection, return and transformation, THE SECOND COMING will feature works by esteemed artist duo: TINDELMICHI, new works by Amandine Drouet and Corrina Sephora Mensoff, and a video collaboration by Shana Robbins and Neda Abghari. 

Also on display will be the work of  TCP’s newly named “Artists in Studio” Residents: Justin Rabideau, Brandon Sadler, Ashley Schick, Marcy Starz, Nikki Starz, Hannah Perner-Wilson, Margaret Hiden, Jerushia Graham and the work of the youth artists of One Love Generation (their mentees).

Visual design by The Big Up and Branden M. Collins. Collaborative musical performances featuring members  of Jack of Hearts and BOSCO  with special guest Lindsay Fisher.

Come experience this night in the spirit of celebration and philanthropy. This event will support TCP’s continuing initiatives to provide more artists with studio space, exhibitions, and housing, as well as vital hands-on arts outreach to area youth.

“We have come a long way in a very short time with the Atlanta community’s belief in our mission. We are excited to put in motion the many programs that your support has made possible and look forward to building the organization and expanding our reach even further. THE SECOND COMING marks the next stage of TCP’s journey with you.”  Neda Abghari, Executive Director

Support the Atlanta arts community!

$20 ($15 for artists) includes cocktails courtesy of GREY GOOSE Vodka and FUZE Beverages and food courtesy of Westside Pie and Ormsby's. We are happy to have the support of these great businesses!

CAP's upcoming outreach will target programs that may not have arts education, and that struggle with resources.

Our 2011-2012 outreach will benefit the youth artists of One Love Generation, Jacob's Ladder, and the Georgia Justice Project

SEE GREAT ART AND...

LOOK FOR THE RED BIN AT

THIS WEEKEND

 

 

TCP and The Addo Foundation present a citywide Summer Art Supply Drive

Continuing throughout the summer local businesses and galleries will be uniting through a common cause to raise art supplies for TCP's  Community Arts Program (CAP) outreach initiatives. CAP's focus is on mentoring "at-risk" youth through the arts. CAP's upcoming outreach will target programs that may not have arts education, and that struggle with resources.

Our 2011-2012 outreach will benefit the youth artists of One Love Generation, Jacob's Ladder, and the Georgia Justice Project

MAKE A DIFFERENCE, GET INVOLVED

FRIDAY:

ABV GALLERY & BRANDON SADLER

Opening Reception July 29th, 20117PM-11PM

While living in South Korea, Brandon Sadler was consumed by an unfamiliar environment struggling to find a balance between work and artistic expression. With Sadler’s grandfather passing and his isolation from living abroad he was motivated to create his most recent body of work, “Red Lotus: The Floating World.”

By utilizing rice paper for its sensitivity and ink for its permanence, Sadler has created a metaphor for life and its actions. Through this unification of these materials, “Red Lotus: The Floating World” articulates his ideas about the change and death of self-image that is essential for enlightenment and the finding of one’s true self.

 “When your world is consumed by waves, you can sink or you can float.” – Brandon Sadler
