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. It encourages a rethinking of how publ ic spaces are designed and used\, fostering collaboration between environm ental and disability advocates and sparking a broader conversation about a ccess\, equity\, and belonging.\nUltimately\, Access Point invites viewers to reflect on their own relationships to the natural world and to envisio n a future where outdoor spaces are welcoming to everyone. Through compell ing storytelling and the beauty of natural landscapes\, the documentary ad vocates for a world in which nature is a shared space—accessible\, engag ing\, and inspiring for all.
