Join us for a screening of films by local Atlanta filmmakers. We will showcase a few films each month. Stop by, grab a drink, and enjoy the films! All films are curated by John Dierre Welch.
Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, John Dierre is a cinematic artist on a mission to create films that are based in community, while also showcasing stories and documenting moments that help question certain perceptions. With his intuitive sense of direction and honest use of the camera, he hopes to reveal the essence of his subjects to then engage audiences with fresh messaging, emotion, rhythm, and color. The mission reigns in creating, supporting, and helping others bring their worlds of Blackness to life while challenging and pushing the film medium forward.
Open Studios is your chance to meet the artists in our Studio Artist Program and experience their work up close. Explore the studios, connect with creatives, and maybe take home a new favorite piece.
All are welcome—artists, students, professionals, and art lovers alike.
Ticket sales support subsidized studio spaces, and sponsorships help provide honoraria for exhibiting artists across our campus.
