SATURDAY ARTWALK:

Westside Arts District / Noon–5PM

Curator Tour: Deliverance / Laura Ginn, Anya Liftig, Jayson Scott Musson, and Clifford Owens
ACAC /11AM–Noon

Deliverance presents four provocative artists who use performance to create meditations on power, identity, sexuality, and race. Whether acting in front of an audience or the camera, they confront fears and fantasies, construct personas, learn new skills, and put their bodies into challenging situations. Like many of the figures from the history of art and popular culture that have inspired them, they are adept at shaping the space between the self and others––in gallery and museum contexts, outdoor sites, and the Internet.

Artist Talk: Living Color Redux / Ryan Nabulsi
{Poem 88} / 1PM

{Poem88} presents Living Color Redux: a second look at the formal aspects of color expressed in the work of David D’Agostino, Ryan Coleman, In Kyoung Chun, Helen Ferguson Crawford, Ryan Nabulsi, and Drew Tyndell. In both non-objective and representational works, these artists rely on the relationships of color and form in vibrant, luscious, meditative and even mysterious ways. Each artist uses their own strategy to arrive at their unique balance between luminosity and chroma through assorted media including assemblage, camera-less photography and more straightforward painting.

Sandler Hudson Gallery www.sandlerhudson.com

Sandler Hudson Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibit for Rocío Rodríguez entitled: Purge. Personal history, engagement with aesthetic concerns, conflicts, references to systems both social and political have all contributed to the divergent fictions that have been present in Rodríguez’s work. In her most recent works she turns her attention inward once again. She focuses on that activity that has been her lifelong engagement---Painting. In 2011 Rodriguez started a series of drawings that discarded color in favor of a very limited and muted palette. She brought order and stability to her canvases purposefully calming down the frenetic activity of previous work and presents dichotomies that exist within the pictorial language. Her image is paint, mark, shape, line all exposed and placed at the front of the picture plane, stacked on totems or pedestals. As the work progresses a fuller color palette is returning to her work. Are these memorials to painting? Or a humorous parade of the components of what makes an image? Of these paintings Rodríguez says: “What is painting to me? I think these are like memorials to painting, making paintings about painting. But also being outside of it, commenting on it, while I create them and take them apart”. Exhibition continues through Sept 8.

EL COLUMPIO

El Columpio is a short-term residency designed as an incubator for bold, experimental, and community-driven artistic practices. Hosted at Goat Farm between TCP’s long-term residency cycles, El Columpio is a space for artists to explore, engage, and create—without the commitment of a long-term program.

What TCP Offers:

  •  Private studio space at Goat Farm for 4 weeks

  •  Promotional support via TCP’s mailing list & social media accounts

  •  Alumni benefits, including access to professional development and exhibition opportunities

  •  Studio visit, feedback and networking opportunities from arts professionals during the residency period

  •  Photo documentation & a digital catalog of El Columpio 2025 

Mali Irene

Mali Irene, (aka Malesha Taylor Browning) is a versatile vocal artist, composer, curator and educator.  Her work spans from traditional and contemporary opera to experimental improvisation and cross-disciplinary public art.

Mali Irene is currently on a new journey writing compositions that deconstruct the traditional seating and performative experience of concerts inviting audience members and musicians into a co-creative circle. Mali’s work calls the audience-ensemble to be lead by the vocalist rather than conductor reminiscent to a ceremonial kirtan or jam session.

Mimms Cross

Mimms Cross (b. 1988) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Atlanta, Georgia.

“My work explores what it means to exist within today’s cultural landscape of continuous partial awareness—a terrain where attention spans have decayed. As the attention economy grows, I’ve noticed shifts in my own relationship to technology, observation, and perception. I’ve become increasingly preoccupied with how to capture these changes visually and through language. My work investigates the effects of this distorted environment: while our ability to digest images has expanded, our capacity for deep reflection has diminished. Our brains process thousands of images per minute, but at the cost of genuine contemplation”.

Noah Reyes

Noah Reyes (b.1994) is an artist taking steps in many different directions, resulting in a peculiar dance between curating, writing, and artmaking.

“I am fascinated with in-betweenness as it pertains to my identity, heritage and surroundings. As a first generation Mexican-American I have struggled with this balance between cultures. Growing up working in construction sites with my father has greatly influenced my approach to being an artist”.

Sarah Sanchez-Kelley

Sarah Sanchez-Kelley (she/her) is a Filipino-American filmmaker, writer, and comedian based in Atlanta, Georgia. Her film work explores themes of identity, community, and emotional expression through mixed-media and analog formats.

“As a filmmaker, I am interested in highlighting my Filipino culture, including oral tradition and pre-colonial history, through the artistic practices I’ve developed growing up in the West. My work tends to explore concepts of identity and subjective emotional experience with both levity and tension, to reflect how we as human beings process our own realities”.

Carolina Cuevas

Carolina Cuevas (b. 1998) is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and educator based in Atlanta.Her practice is rooted in the history of altar-making and the intricacies of language, primarily within American and Caribbean society. Cuevas combines materials, such as textiles and clay, with found or foraged materials to make her sculptures.

“Language exists in my mother's gaze, in my sister’s laughter, in my partner’s skin, in the processes and materials that have existed long before me. They whisper their histories and stories, and I tell them mine. I see language similarly to altars, ever-evolving to its new climate. My work is a re-imagining of what an altar can become to protect us, heal us, and help us remember or move on”.

Madison Nunes

Madison Nunes (They/He/She) is an artist, independent curator, and arts administrator working in the so-called United State’s South. Nunes's work focuses on the intimacies of alternative family structures and expands on stories of queerness and neurodivergence where retellings of history are at risk for erasure.

Drawing inspiration from experiences with body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria, Nunes uses their work as a tool for catharsis and collective empowerment. Their practice revolves around photography’s ability to challenge dominant narratives, highlighting the complexities of identity, community, and resistance within the power structures that shape the interactions of documentarians and communities.
