Spend an Evening with World-Renowned Artist Basil Watson!
The Little 5 Points Cultural District in partnership with the Little 5 Points Community Center proudly announces the launch of a new series of events in L5P aimed at supporting, highlighting, and inspiring the arts in Atlanta. This inaugural event will feature internationally acclaimed artist Basil Watson, known for creating powerful public monuments that celebrate civil rights, and the beauty of human strength and resiliency.
Watson’s remarkable portfolio includes “Hope Moving Forward,” a 12-foot monument of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. located by Mercedes-Benz Stadium right here in Atlanta. His most recent work, “Towards Freedom,” honoring abolitionists Lewis and Harriet Hayden, was unveiled in Lexington, Kentucky on Juneteenth by Governor Andy Beshear.
This exclusive evening will feature an Art Talk where Mr. Watson will discuss his creative process, inspirations, and the stories behind his most notable works. The event will also include a live portrait sculpture demonstration, with local business owner and community leader Patrice Hull, of Stuff We Wanna Say, making her art modeling debut!
This event is FREE and open to the public. Reserve your ticket today HERE!
I didn’t expect much when I tried payforessay.net, but they completely changed my opinion about online writing services. My research paper came back clear, original, and properly formatted. I even used their editing option for another project, and that turned out great too. Everything about their service feels professional, from communication to final delivery. Highly recommended for anyone in a rush.
That sounds like such an inspiring initiative for the Atlanta arts community, especially with someone as talented as Basil Watson involved. I love when projects like this highlight both creativity and resilience. Lately, when I’ve needed a different kind of inspiration, I’ve turned to https://plinko.fr/stake. It’s not about art, of course, but the little bursts of excitement and focus I get from it oddly remind me of what events like this bring—energy, engagement, and a fresh perspective that carries into daily life.
I’m really excited about the event with Basil Watson! It’s great to see presentation experts who can inspire us with their art and stories. I cannot wait to hear him talk about his creative process and see the live sculpture demonstration. This sounds like fantastic opportunity to learn more about art in our community.
