Collected and curated by Wes and Missy Cochran, the Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking chose a selection from the larger collection that not only tells the story of 20\u003Csup\u003Eth\u003C\/sup\u003E century art in America but highlights the contributions of Georgia\u0026rsquo;s artists to this larger story. The show also illuminates the roles of female artists and Black master printers in creating a cross-generational commentary on artistic freedom, activism, and community. Whether intentionally or coincidentally, the lives and voices of the featured artists intersect to create a lively dialogue that remains relevant to today\u0026rsquo;s audiences. The exhibition is on view from August 5 - December 2, 2022. An in-person artist talk is scheduled for Monday, October 3, 6:30-8:30p and several virtual lectures (Sept 6, Sept 20, \u0026amp; Nov 1, 7p EST) round out programming. The exhibition and related programming are free and open to the public. Located at 500 Tenth St. NW, Atlanta, GA 30332, the Robert C.

The pieces \u0026ndash; some figurative, many abstract \u0026ndash; encourage the viewer to reflect upon the social, cultural, and political forces that influence artists. The story of American history can be told through the works and biographies present in the exhibit. Each artist\u0026rsquo;s unique perspective and lived experiences expressed through their artwork creates a framework for artist groups to form and for later artists to build upon. Viewers are invited to discover this nuanced community of artists that reach beyond media, geography, and generational perspectives to give voice to the entire spectrum of emotions.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EVIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON PUBLIC PROGRAMS\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThere is a series of free public programming in conjunction with the exhibit. \u003Cstrong\u003EAn in-person reception and artists talk will be held Monday, October 3, 2022, from 6:30-8:30pm\u003C\/strong\u003E, featuring talks by four Atlanta artists whose works are on exhibit: \u003Cstrong\u003ETina Dunkley, Jim Alexander, Kevin Cole, and Radcliffe Bailey\u003C\/strong\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThroughout the run of the exhibition, the public will be invited to join curators and arts professionals for a virtual lecture series:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/virtual-lecture-black-master-printers-and-their-impact-tickets-391350699477\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETuesday, September 6, 7pm ET\u003C\/strong\u003E \u0026ndash;
