SEE GREAT ART AND...
LOOK FOR THE RED BIN DURING
THE WESTSIDE 3RD SATURDAY ART WALK!
TCP and The Addo Foundation present a citywide Summer Art Supply Drive
Continuing throughout the summer local businesses and galleries will be uniting through a common cause to raise art supplies for TCP's Community Arts Program (CAP) outreach initiatives. CAP's focus is on mentoring "at-risk" youth through the arts. CAP's upcoming outreach will target programs that may not have arts education, and that struggle with resources.
Our 2011-2012 outreach will benefit the youth artists of One Love Generation, Jacob's Ladder, and the Georgia Justice Project

In conjunction with the exhibition “WORKS ON PAPER,” artist Jon Ciliberto will talk about his artistic practice, using found and donated materials and bestowing his drawings as gifts.

In keeping with this practice, his works on view at {Poem88} have been gifted to the gallery to be sold or not. His work recently appeared in ArtsCriticATL.com illustrating performances at Sonic Palooza.
