About this event
The event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes
The Atlanta Fine Art Print Fair, scheduled to take place on August 10 and 11, 2024, will showcase the work of several prominent contemporary artists, including Steve Prince, Traci Mims, and Jamaal Barber. While the event coincides with James Baldwin’s centennial, it primarily serves as a platform for these artists to showcase their latest creations and demonstrate their unique artistic processes.
Steve Prince, a renowned printmaker, will introduce a new 24″ x 36″ print inspired by James Baldwin. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience Prince’s printmaking process firsthand, from conception to printing an edition, in a hands-on workshop demonstration. Prince will also give a lecture exploring the role of artists as emotional and spiritual historians, drawing inspiration from Baldwin’s ideas.
Traci Mims, an Atlanta-based artist originally from St. Petersburg, Florida, will be another featured artist at the fair. Mims is known for her diverse artistic practice, which includes printmaking, painting, drawing, quilting, and sculpture. Her work often explores themes of black identity, culture, and social justice. Mims’ recent awards include the McClain Award for Relief Printmaking at the 2023 Atlanta Print Biennial and an Artist Fellowship Inc. Grant in 2023. Traci Mims will also be unveiling her own James Baldwin print during the fair!
Jamaal Barber will also be presenting new works at the fair, from his own interpretation of James Baldwin to a freestanding metal sculpture that references printmaking and diversity. As a printmaker and visual artist, Barber’s participation complements the diverse range of artistic styles and perspectives represented at the event.
The Atlanta Fine Art Print Fair provides these artists with a platform to showcase their latest creations, demonstrate their techniques and connect with the audience.
