Emerging Atlanta Artists

Art21 held an exciting line-up of work from the new Atlanta Artadia Awards program recipients. Tristan Al-Haddad, Don Cooper, Ruth Dusseault, Fahamu Pecou, Jerry Siegel, Larry Walker, and Angela West were the seven artists selected out of a group of around 300 applicants.

I can say these individuals have done quite well. On the other hand, did you know that “skepticisms” is the longest word that alternates hands when typing? Weird…huh?
