Together\, these exhibitions invite viewers to slow d own\, look closely and deepen their awareness of the natural world through 4 distinct Artistic perspectives. Reflecting on the year past\, Carlyle W olfe Lee’s “Memorable Days” records observed rhythms and remarkable moments in nature through a process of drawing\, painting and layered silh ouettes. Motivated by both admiration and concern for the environment\, Ti m Hunter’s “Now You See It…Now You Don’t (Nature in Decline)” ce lebrates native Southeastern birds and wildflowers while drawing attention to the loss of their habitats through the unexpected use of asphalt and c ement. Amanda Joy Brown’s “Path” presents a series of plein air-insp ired paintings that explore the subtle interplay of light\, shadow and col or across the landscape. In “Land\,” Scotty Peek uses the landscape as a point of departure for abstraction\, allowing each brushstroke to infor m the next as paint is applied\, pushed and pulled across the canvas. \nOn View: July 24 – September 11\nOpening Receptions: Friday\, July 24\, 6- 8 p.m. and Saturday\, July 25 12-4 p.m. \nSpalding Nix Fine Art\, 425 Peac htree Hills Ave NE\, Suite 30A\, Atlanta\, GA 30305\nThe gallery is open M onday – Friday\, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. or by appointment.

Throug h intimate interviews and vivid on-the ground footage\, the film explores often-overlooked barriers to outdoor accessibility—alongside powerful st ories of resilience\, community\, and empowerment that emerge along the wa y.\nThe development of the documentary began with a diverse group of parti cipantsconnected to Bay Area disability organizations\, including Ala Cost a Centers\, BORP Adaptive Sports and Recreation\, The Center for Independe nt Living\, The Disability Cultural Center at UC Berkeley\, Friends of L ’Arche San Francisco Bay Area\, Creative Growth\, and NIAD Art Center. T hese partnerships have provided invaluable insight\, ensuring the film aut hentically reflects the lived experiences of people across a range of disa bilities. By featuring participants who are Deaf\, hard of hearing\, blind \, or who have mobility or cognitive disabilities\, Access Point highlight s the many ways disability intersects with the natural world. It becomes n ot just a story of overcoming obstacles\, but also one of the universal hu man desire to engage with the outdoors—underscoring the transformative p ower of nature for all. Partnerships and participation in Access Point\nar e currently expanding\, broadening its reach beyond the Bay Area to commun ities across the United States.\nAs participants explore outdoor spaces— from hiking trails and national parks to beaches\, forests\, and rivers— Access Point reveals the barriers people face\, including limited accessib ility\, lack of resources\, and social or cultural exclusion. Each partici pant brings a unique relationship to nature: some are seasoned explorers w hose access has been constrained\, while others are encountering these lan dscapes for the first time.\nThrough their experiences\, the film captures the joy\, reflection\, and sense of empowerment that nature can inspire w hen inequities in access are addressed. At its core\, Access Point is a st ory about inclusion\, equity\, and the right to experience the outdoors. I t asserts that access to nature is a fundamental right not a privilege— and examines how inaccessible outdoor spaces intersect with broader societ al inequities. By connecting the disability community with the environment al movement\,the film emphasizes that inclusive outdoor spaces are essenti al to a just and equitable society.

At the age of 12\, he built a pinhole camera and discovered the delights of creating images\, developing film\, and the magic of photographic images emerging from the darkness.  Today\, when travelling the world for fast paced star tups\, he enjoys the meditative benefits of noticing the beauty everyone e lse misses as they hustle by.  His images have been juried into multiple shows at the Atlanta Photography Group\, the Photographer’s Eye Collecti ve\, The Houston Center for Photography\, the Photo Place Gallery\, the SO HO Photo Gallery\, the Southeastern Center for Photography\, the Atlanta A irport\, The 2025 Atlanta Art Fair\, The Marietta Cobb Art Museum\,  the John’s Creek Art Center\, The Fence Regional Show\, Slow Exposures\, The Montgomery Photo Festival\, The South By Southeast Gallery\, The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts\, The Madison-Morgan Cultural Center and the B uckhead Library.[/vc_column_text][us_separator size="small"][vc_column_tex t]Introduction to the Darkroom - Learning how to see and make pictures wit h your camera is one thing - learning how to make your photographs real by printing them is another artform\, entirely. To do so by hand is often lo oked at as something of a meditative\, alchemical\, and spiritual practice . Inthis Intro To Darkroom class\, you’ll be given the tools to immortal ize your images on silver gelatin paper through the classical means of bla ck and white photographic development.\n\nStudents will explore the relati onship between their film and paper of choice\, various chemistry\, contra st filters\, and proper darkroom etiquette. This course will be a hands on an immersive experience for beginners and returning analogue printers ali ke. Once complete\, students will have a fundamental understanding of dark room printing concepts as well as how to see and understand print worthy i mages before raising their camera to expose their film.\n\nChemistry will be provided.\n\nEach student should bring their own black and white negati ves and photosensitive paper to print with.\n\nClass will be limited to si x students.\n\nINSTRUCTOR: Quintavious Oliver\n\nQuintavius Oliver (b. 198 9 Atlanta\, Ga.) is an Atlanta based fine art and documentary photographer who uses his engaging and intimate portraits as a means for dynamic story telling. Acquiring his first camera at the age of six from his grandmother \, he immediately began to document his ever-expanding world. By his mid-2 0s the self-taught colorblind photographer was making waves in the photogr aphy community\, landing exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Atlanta and the Griffin Museum in Winchester\, MA - all while raising his daughter as a full-time single father. Quintavius spent much of his early career straddling the fence between his documentary-style photography in t he streets of Atlanta and making intimate portraits with friends\, explori ng sexuality\, fear\, joy\, and identity. His work would eventually expand to places like India and Cuba where he would explore life in the homes of individuals and families\, fostering a sense of global community through photography. Those photographs have since been awarded 1st place in the 20 25 International Photography Awards in Greece\, exhibitions at The Art Gal lery of Alberta\, Canada\, and even the permanent collections of The Museu m of Contemporary Art\, Houston TX and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Ga . Now\, still with a camera in hand\, Quintavius has made it his mission t o see and photograph people honestly and wholly as he continues to create a space for self-expression and vulnerability through his passion for phot ography.[/vc_column_text][us_separator size="small"][vc_column_text]\nWork shop Title – Saturday: Developing Black & White Film - Chip Standifer - 9am-3pm\nSunday: Intro to the Darkroom - Quintavious Oliver - 10am-3pm\nIn structor’s Names – Chip Standifer & Quintavious Oliver\nDate(s) – Sa turday\, September 19 & Sunday\, September 20\, 2026\nTime(s) – Saturday : 9:00am - 3:00pm / Sunday: 10:00am - 3:00pm\nLocation – In-Person at th e APG Gallery and Darkroom\nWorkshop Fee – Saturday $45 member / $65 non -members\nSunday $175 member / $195 non-members\nPurchase both Saturday an d Sunday $185 member / $205 non-members\nMaximum of 6 students for each cl ass\n[/vc_column_text][us_separator size="small"][us_btn label="REGISTER" link="%7B%22url%22:%22https:%2F%2Fatlantaphotographygroup.org%2Fshop%2Fwor kshop-developing-black-and-white-film-introduction-to-the-darkroom%2F%22\, %22title%22:%22Workshop:%20Cultivate%20New%20Audiences%20and%20Disseminate %20Your%20Work%22%7D" hide_with_empty_link="1" align="center"][us_separato r size="small"][/vc_column][/vc_row] LAST-MODIFIED:20260824T010959Z URL:https://atlantaphotographygroup.org/events/workshop-developing-black-a nd-white-film-introduction-to-the-darkroom/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Atlanta Photography Group X-SOURCE-URL:https://atlantaphotographygroup.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Unlock Spring Break Adventures: Free Museum Entry With Bank of Ame rica Museums on Us DTSTART:20260919T130000Z DTEND:20260919T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260827T180122Z UID:10027214-1789808400-1789837200@atlantamom.com CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:Bank of America\, Merrill\, or Bank of America Private Bank cr edit and debit cardholders can receive FREE general admission to 14 cultur al attractions across Georgia April 4 and April 5 \nThe Bank of America Mu seums on Us program offers Bank of America\, Merrill\, or Bank of America Private Bank credit and debit cardholders FREE general admission to 225 cu ltural attractions the first full weekend of every month. \nFor the past 2 5 years\, Bank of America has provided access to some of our nation’s gr eatest cultural experiences and brought new visitors to partner museums.

The book is an exploration of sisterhood\, c reativity\, and community inspired by the artist Alma Thomas’s life and work\, from the award-winning poet Alexis Pauline Gumbs. Alma Thomas (1891 –1978) was an influential figure in twentieth-century modern art\, best known for her bright\, mosaic-like abstract paintings. Although some criti cs have seen Thomas’s emphasis on beauty\, color\, and abstract art as a way to divorce her work from her life as a Black woman\, Alexis Pauline G umbs reveals how Thomas’s art was\, in fact\, deeply rooted in the Black community in which she lived. Black\, in other words\, was one of Thomas ’s primary colors. Gumbs sheds light on Thomas’s experience as a junio r high school teacher in the still-segregated schools of Washington\, D.C. \, where Thomas—as educator\, mentor\, and advocate—established commun ity art programs for Black schoolchildren and galleries to showcase Black artists’ work. In this volume of poems and prose\, Gumbs becomes a stude nt of Thomas\, allowing the wonder in Thomas’s work to open her to wonde r about her own creativity\, sistering\, daughtering\, and practice of com munal transformation. Alexis Pauline Gumbs is a poet\, scholar\, educator\ , and community builder. Her books include Survival Is a Promise: The Eter nal Life of Audre Lorde and Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals. She has received the Whiting Award in Nonfiction and the Windham- Campbell Literature Prize for Poetry. Gumbs lives in Durham\, NC.

As part of our mission to support photographic artist s\, we feel it is important to offer a variety of options so that each art ist can find the group that is the best fit for them.  Not certain of the value?  Consider this:\n\n Feedback and Improvement: Constructive criti cism provides valuable insights that help artists see their work from diff erent perspectives. It highlights areas that need improvement and offers s uggestions for growth\, ultimately enhancing their skills and artistic vis ion.\n Learning and Development: Critique exposes artists to diverse view points and approaches\, allowing them to learn new techniques\, styles\, a nd concepts. Engaging with feedback fosters continuous learning and develo pment in their artistic journey.\n Self-reflection: Evaluative feedback p rompts artists to reflect on their own work critically. It encourages intr ospection\, enabling artists to understand their strengths and weaknesses better\, leading to more refined artistry.\n Building Resilience: Dealing with critique develops resilience and the ability to handle rejection or differing opinions. It strengthens an artist's confidence and prepares the m to face challenges in their career\, fostering growth both professionall y and personally.\n Community and Networking: Engaging in critique sessio ns or receiving feedback from fellow artists fosters a sense of community. It creates networking opportunities\, allowing artists to connect\, colla borate\, and learn from each other.\n Audience Perspective: Understanding how an audience perceives their work is crucial for artists. Critique pro vides insights into how their art is received\, helping them communicate t heir ideas more effectively and connect with their audience on a deeper le vel.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row width="full" height= "auto" disable_element="yes"][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\n\n\nGuest Mode rator for April 2026 - Matt Haffner\nMatt Haffner is a photo-based\, mixed media artist who works in a variety of materials.
