December
is
coming
to
an
end.
December
for
folks
in
Miami
or
the
art
world
means
only
one
thing: Art
Basel
Miami
Beach.
Over
the
past
decade,
people
of
color
and
urban
influence
have
increased
during
Art
Basel.
Hip-hop
culture
was
a
thread
in
the
hundreds
of
art
exhibits
this
year.
The
infamous,
always
apologizing
Kanye
West
hosted
a
listening
party,
and
Instagram
flooded
with
pictures
from
Teyana
Taylor’s
birthday
party.
Not
only
was
the
art
world
in
Miami
but
also
the
industry,
namely
artists,
influencers,
content
creators,
and
more.
Red
Rooster
Overtown hosted
the
Mayor
of
Atlanta,
Andre
Dickens,
along
with
his
team,
friends,
and
family
at
a
brunch
during
Art
Basel.
The
experience
was
“when
food,
vision
artisans,
and
cultures.
It’s
a
recipe
for
success,”
says
Chief
Creative
Officer
Kembo
Tom
of
top
marketing
firm
KTC
|
a
Creative
Solutions
Agency.

What
came
from
the
brunch
was
the
need
to
bring
more
art
and
culture
events
similar
to
Art
Basel
to
the
City
of
Atlanta,
which
is
one
of
the
centers
of
Black
music
and
film.
As
you
know,
the
film
industry
has
rapidly
increased
in Georgia since
2002,
signifying
the
importance
of
art
and
culture.
With
the
help
of
Andre
Dickens
and
the
support
of
local
visual
artists
like
the
renowned Fahamu
Pekoe and
Leroy
Campbell,
the
city
can
become
a
hub
for
art,
attracting
collectors
from
around
the
World
for
a
week
of
exhibits
and
festivities.
Let’s
see
what
is
to
come!
