LOOK FOR THE RED BIN

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

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

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.

Who Can Apply?


El Columpio is open to all creative disciplines—visual artists, writers, performers, curators, and multidisciplinary practitioners. Artists and collaborators will have the opportunity to activate their work through two public engagement events, such as open studios, exhibitions, workshops, performances, or artist talks.

FAQ

Can artists apply as a team? 

Yes, collaborative projects are welcomed. 

Can artists who complete an El Columpio residency apply for TCP’s long-term residency? 

Yes, El Columpio alumni are eligible to apply for TCP’s 18-month studio residency program. 

Are artists outside of Atlanta eligible to apply? 

Unlike our studio residency, artists from outside the Atlanta area are eligible to apply - however, those artists would be responsible for their own housing expenses during the residency period. 

How are applicants selected? 

Applications will be reviewed by a panel of jurors including artists, TCP alumni and artist professionals based on the quality of the application and the proposed project.
