  • Atlanta Opening Reception of Balletomane: Paintings by Antonio Torres

    Atlanta Opening Reception of Balletomane: Paintings by Antonio Torres

    2 Min Read

    In partnership with the Atlanta Ballet, R. Alexander presents Balletomane, the upcoming exhibition featuring ballerina paintings and portraits by Spain’s Antonio Torres.

    The show will be on display at R. Alexander from February 1- March 2, 2018. In conjunction with Atlanta Ballet, a special opening reception will be held at R. Alexander on Friday, February 1st from 6- 9 pm and Saturday, February 2nd from 1-4 pm. A percentage of purchases will go towards the Ballet’s advancement.

    Opening Reception of Balletomane: Paintings by Antonio Torres in Atlanta

    Balletomane, defined as a ballet enthusiast, aptly describes Torres’ devotion to dance. Throughout his evolution as a painter, he has dedicated himself to one recurring theme: ballet. Dancers from all over the world showcase graceful poses and elegant costumes in each captivating painting. Fascinated with ballerinas’ patterns of movement and psychological dedication, Torres skillfully captures their mastery of performance by depicting their varied demeanors both on and off the stage.

    While Torres portrays notable dancers from all over the world, his work is categorized into three distinct series and each inspired by a different ballerina. The Contrasts series provide striking distinctions between light and shade frequently placed in intimate settings.

    Register for Balletomane here

    Blue Dream paintings convey the beauty of ballet through various expressionistic techniques, while the Blue Rainbow series incorporates surrealism to depict dreamlike performances. Through this diversity, Torres captures the multifaceted aspects of ballet and its dedicated performers.

    Torres personalizes private moments, and this exclusive access to intimate views offstage are a hallmark of his work. Aware of the rare circumstances accessed to him via his friendships with numerous ballerinas, Torres graciously remarks, “I thank God for having the opportunity to be surrounded by so many talents behind the scenes.” Though visually divergent, Contrasts, Blue Dream, and Blue Rainbow unite in inviting viewers behind the scenes to share his intimate point of view.

    To learn more about the artist and the exhibition, please visit our website at ralexanderfineart.com.

  • Couples Communication Workshop (Unmarried) In Atlanta

    Couples Communication Workshop (Unmarried) In Atlanta

    1 Min Read

    Good news: Happy, successful relationships aren’t due to luck, coming from a “good” family, or finding “The One.” All couples fight and have problems communicating at times. Thankfully, effective skills can be learned and practiced; and certain skills are far more effective than others AND backed up by science.

    The Couples Communication Workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2019 at 1100 Peachtree St NE, 1100 Peachtree Street Northeast Atlanta, GA 30309.

    Atlanta: Couples Communication Workshop

    In this workshop, you will learn how to identify common communication pitfalls, defuse heated arguments, change unhelpful patterns, and apply practical research-based strategies to prevent future conflicts from escalating.

    It is important to note that this is a psychoeducational workshop, not couples therapy. It is best for couples who are committed to strengthening their relationship and are not in severe distress.

    If you are in a high-conflict relationship or concerned about privacy, a traditional couples therapy consultation with me or another professional is a better choice.

    This is for unmarried couples only; all sexual orientations are welcome. You will not be required nor pressured to share any personal details about your relationship.

    Super Bowl Live Lineup: Jermaine Dupri Gives Nod To Atlanta Artists

    The Super Bowl Live free concert series begins Saturday, Jan. 26 at Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta. Take MARTA train downtown to get there! Here’s what you need to know.

    Super Bow Live: Schedule, Concert Footage, Videos, etc.

    With the Super Bowl, much has been made about the lack of Atlanta talent on the marquee. Big musical acts like Maroon 5 and Cardi B have been booked for national exposure, but Atlantans are also represented.

    Here is the Super Bowl Live lineup: Free concert series produced by Jermaine Dupri

    Thanks to some pulling of strings by Atlanta officials, the Super Bowl Committee tapped none other than local So So Def maestro Jermaine Dupri to head musical events for Super Bowl LIve, a week-long concert series.

    Read more53 things to do in Atlanta during the week of Super Bowl 53

    Dupri, no stranger to these parts, rode shotgun over Atlanta’s musical hey day, giving the world such world renown acts as Kriss-Kross, Xcape and Da Brat.

    He also penned #1 hits for the likes of major artists like Usher and Mariah Carey. In 2004, Usher’s “Confessions,” which largely chronicled the love life of Dupri, rocketed to #1 on the charts and sold more than 5 million copies.

    Now Jermaine is bringing along a number of Atlanta artists, producers and engineers so that the world can get that authentic ATL sound when they converge on the city in last week in January up to the first weekend in February.

    Added to the Super Bowl Live lineup in recent days has been Monica, S.O.S. Band, Craig Campbell and more. They will join the likes of Atlanta artists like Waka Flaka Flame and Goodie Mob. Dupri and his team promised to dig deep into Georgia’s red clay to bring a homegrown feel to the free concert series.

    JD celebrates So So Def’s 25th anniversary

    “I’m going for the creme de la creme, the top of the charts, the hitmakers,” DJ Holiday told reporters. “We’re gonna do one of the biggest stages on Monday, I promise you.”

    MLK’s Vine City Home Added To National Historical Park Sites

    3 Min Read

    The home in Atlanta neighborhood known as Vine City where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. raised his family with Coretta Scott King is now open to the public for the first time.

    MLK’s Vine City home is being made accessible to as part of Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, a part of the National Park System.

    MLK’s Vine City home is now a National HIstorical Park site

    The National Park Foundation purchased the home, via private philanthropy, from the estate of Coretta Scott King on January 8, 2019, and immediately transferred it to the National Park Service

    Everybody is well aware of MLK’s birth home at 501 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30312, which has been a part of the National Park Service for years, but few know about MLK’s Vine City home where the adult minister and civil rights leader raised his children along with his faithful wife Coretta Scott King.

    “The National Park Service’s dedication to preserving historic properties is unmatched,” said Dr. Bernice A. King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., on behalf of the King family. “We are very pleased to have worked with the National Park Foundation to ensure that the family home that my siblings and I grew up in will be open and available to the public. My brothers and I are honored to have fulfilled my mother’s wish to allow future generations to know the story of our dad as a father, a husband, a minister, and a civil rights leader.”

    “The addition of the homes where Dr. King was born and where he raised his family with Coretta Scott King provides the National Park Service sacred spaces to more fully tell the story of Dr. King’s life and legacy,” said National Park Service Deputy Director P. Daniel Smith. “Thanks to the efforts of the National Park Foundation and the generosity of the King family, these areas are now among the many civil rights sites that are preserved as part of the National Park System and will be accessible to the American people in perpetuity.”

    The hip-hop cypher, an artistic explosion of storytelling, inspiration and healing, has inspired IMAN’s Arts & Culture programming from our inception. The event is Saturday, Jan. 26, 2019 at Washington High School Performing Arts Center at 45 Whitehouse Dr SW.

    Spiritual traditions encourage similar circles of Divine remembrance. Connecting us to one another in ways that transcend time, space and the divisive forces of our modern day, the sacred cypher calls us to higher, more inspired and liberated ways of being.

    The “Celebrating the Sacred Cypher” series will feature artists from various genres who invoke that history and spirit in their art. Additionally, our Sacred Cypher Creatives will lead week-long residencies connected to each CommUNITY Café, that will foster deep engagement and provide learning exchanges between artists and community members in the form of workshops, town hall panels, and pop-up performances.
