Collaboration: African Diaspora Exhibition III

Collaboration: African Diaspora Exhibition at the Center for Creative Education Produced by A.T.B Fine Artists & Designers LLC

The vision of this is to have an African Diaspora (The African diaspora was the movement of Africans and their descendants to places throughout the world – predominantly to the Americas) exhibition at the Center for Creative Education. 

This is the third installment of the exhibition.  Originally created in 2013, the African Diaspora had displayed a vast variety of artists from around the country.  We have achieved this not simply hanging art on a wall or sitting it on a pedestal. It was accomplished by unique story telling through the eyes, hands and lips of the artists themselves.

The focus is to show the community that there is another aspect of art & culture in a community that many of the Palm Beach County community have yet to experience.  This year’s group includes artists who are originally from, reside or are represented in the state of Florida in one location here in Palm Beach County.  The concept of art itself does not have to be in reflection of the diaspora.

We believe that with the partnership of CCE & A.T.B. the Diaspora will be another great success.

Paint by numbers makes a comeback in during the A&E District of the City of West Palm Beach

A.T.B is happy to present the second Painting by Numbers hosted this year in the Downtown City of West Palm Beach after much demand for it to make a comeback.

The concept of Painting by Numbers  is a borrowed concept from the Atlanta's Paint by Numbers. The first time we got to do this was in Northwood in 2009. The new concept is, eight local professional artists design a visual concept working alongside student artists.

 The professional artists will show their interpretations of West Palm Beach on to a 16'x8' canvas for the community to come together and paint, bringing that reflection to life.

This event is sponsored by the City of West Palm Beach Art In Public Places and the West Palm Beach Arts & Entertainment District (A&E District). The project is developed and facilitated by A.T.B. Fine Artists & Designers LLC. Music will be provided by Smooth Bounce Entertainment The event will be held on the 400 block of Clematis Street in front of the Mandel Public Library.

Artists include: 
Amanda Valdes
Anthony Burks Sr.
Caron Bowman 
David German 
Erick Marquez 
Johnol Jones 
Rolando Chang Barrero 
Steve Marino

Join the artists and the citizens of the City of WPB and paint. November 15, 2014 11:30am-6pm. And if you really want to be impressive and have strong large scale drawing skills, be there at 9am to help .

First Artists Lunch & Lecture-Big Success.

The session was hosted by Trina Slade-Burks, CEO and president of the 21-year business, which specializes in “all things art” from education to art sales to art execution. 

 Speaker CEO/Founder Karen Alleyne-Means of Herlife Magazine discussed the importance of art in the Palm Beach County where as attorney Sabine Millien-Felix Partner at the Law firm of Millien LeBlanc & Simpson discussed legal contracts with galleries. Some of the other topics included grant opportunities and how to get the “starving artist” mindset out of the artists’ livelihood. 

 All in attendance agreed that the event was very informative. You can read how the development of this series got started on the Rickie Report.
