POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In addition to our booth with the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, Hambidge will be represented on multiple panels through @atlartfair’s Freeman Theater programming.

On October 4, Deputy Director, Ife Williams, will join the panel entitled “Beyond Basic Needs: Embedding Care into the Artist Residency Model.”

Moderated by Hambidge Fellow Jessica Gaynelle Moss, the panel brings together residency leaders across the U.S., South Africa and France to examine care not as an abstract value, but as something that can be embedded in the institutions and the experiences of the artists we serve. If artists are the reason these institutions exist in the first place, how do we build models that care for them as our most precious resource?

Join us October 4th at 1:30 PM for inspired dialogue from leaders representing The Hambidge Center, Mildred Thompson Legacy Project, The Creatives Project, STILL Artist Residency and Villa Albertine.

As a part of ATL CURRENTS, Hambidge Fellow Harrison Wayne will participate in the panel, “An Independent Artist Spotlight, Presented by the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta” on October 3, 5:30-6:30pm.

Moderated by Nato Thompson, this conversation brings together three independent Atlanta artists from The Hambidge Center and Artful ATL to explore the diverse pathways through which artists build careers and engage with the art market. The discussion will consider the opportunities and challenges of working independently alongside traditional gallery representation, while examining how artists, galleries, and arts organizations collectively contribute to Atlanta’s growing contemporary art ecosystem.

Freeman Theater will host a whole weekend of panels featuring Hambidge Fellows including Shanequa Gay, Maryam Moma, TK Smith, Tori Tinsley, Antonio Darden, and more. Visit the @atlartfair for a full schedule.

What happens when collecting art becomes less about ownership and more about belonging?

With @cmxnr, it’s about being part of something greater than yourself.

✨Commissioner was launched in 2018 in Miami, and with support from @knightfdn, will be expanding with new programs in Detroit, Philadelphia, and Charlotte over the next four years

⚡️Their model is rooted in collaboration, pooling the contributions of its members and participants to commission some of the most gifted contemporary artists to create new original and limited-edition artworks

⭐️Members come together to meet artists, learn about process, and become stewards of memory and culture wherever they are in their collector journey

Follow @cmxnr and become a part of the story

Special thanks to Commissioner members @ehpa_mia, @jesseplane, @jdadams

Our inaugural Policy and Action Roundtable may have concluded, but the essayists who shared their experiences in the lead-up to the event leave a lasting impression: A heartfelt thank you goes to Max Emiliano Gonzales, Jessica Gaynelle Moss, Sallyann Kluz, and Noelle Rozo for their generosity, insight, and willingness to share their stories with us.

Rooted in this region, their work continues to resonate throughout our communities. Whether still here or since moved on, each artist brought creative vision and expertise to this place, enriching it through their craft and confronting, firsthand, the complex tensions between policy and passion.

We hope you'll take the time to read each essay so that you carry their stories with you as you work, create, and advocate for the arts in our region.

I had a couple of people reach out this week to let me know that their favorite song off C O Z Y T A P E S was “Micki’s Joint”. it’s worth sharing that the song was originally recorded as a part of a score for a film entitled “The Hill has Wings”, (directed by DaRemen J.). the film tells the story about the historic “Hill District” in Pittsburgh that served as a haven for acts such as Louis Armstrong, Sarah Vaughn, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. this is also the birthplace of August Wilson.

@therollupclt & @1stkind reached out for me to score this film that would essentially be the flag for the people of Pittsburgh to fly as their own contribution to Black History. the video posted is from the debut screening at the legendary @augustwilsonhouse where you can hear “Micki’s Joint” playing.

the perspective I got from working on this project was that there are stories right under our noses that deserve to be told and I’ve since made it a point to include that storytelling in the music I make.

Thank you Jess, DaRemen, & @pghartscouncil for this opportunity. @tierra_armstrong you’re a FULL legend and I’m honored that my name is in company with yours for this project.

thank you again to @mickiblendz for letting me produce you! You got a whole movie credit, Champ! 😂

I hope when y’all run C O Z Y T A P E S back, you hear the humanity, culture and community woven it to it. my only goal with the music is for our stories to be received and respected. thank you for the Love shown thus far ✌🏾💭👑

What does support look like when the crowds leave? Who continues the relationship beyond the spectacle? Who disappears once the performance has ended?
— @damiendavis for Hyperallergic

Eight years into bringing people together to support artists and build community, we’re celebrating the folks that get down for Miami year-round and artists artists artists.

"When cities fail to invest meaningfully in artists, they leave."

In a new first-person essay, Pittsburgh-based artist and curator Jessica Gaynelle Moss shares how "Endurance Is Not Infrastructure: How Policy Shapes (and Stalls) Public Art," part of our series from working artists and arts leaders on arts and public policy in Pittsburgh.

These essays lead into the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council’s inaugural Policy and Action Roundtable on March 5 at Point Park University, a direct conversation with Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O'Connor (@coreyoconnorpa) and Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato (@ace_innamorato) on the systems shaping our creative sector.
