‘Women of Color’ exhibit nurtures art photography By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Classrooms inside of Emory Johns Creek Hospital were bumping with music as the Johns Creek Art Center’s Artist Guild led a talk from artists displaying their work in its “Women of Color” exhibition on-site. The Black History Month celebration, segueing into Women’s History Month, signaled the firsttime collaboration between the Artist Guild and Sistagraphy, a Decatur-based photography collec-
tive founded 30 years ago, exclusively composed of women of color. The Artist Guild has showcased its work at the hospital for years. The group also has work hanging in Johns Creek City Hall and will have another exhibition at the Gwinnett County Historic Courthouse in the summer. The group, consisting of more than 30 members, serves the Arts Center by facilitating exhibitions on and off-site, assisting with special events, and acting as an ambassador.
