Atlanta Street Art Collective creates utopia at shared studio
By DELANEY TARR delaney@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Tucked into a building off Atlanta Street, nine Metro Atlanta artists have created a “utopia” of sorts — the Atlanta Street Art Collective, a studio space
where creatives can work and collaborate. Now the artists are hoping to take their community to the rest of Roswell. Through July 28, the artists are exhibiting their work in the lobby of the Roswell Cultural Arts Center. Called “Our Voices,” the
exhibit brings together each artists’ distinct styles and works. While all of the artists have seen individual success with gallery showings and exhibitions, “Our Voices” is the first exhibit for the entire collective.
