Off the Beaten Path Art Exhibition

Why Of The Beaten Path?

As Atlanta Art Week kicks off, a group of independent artists are making waves by organizing their own parallel event. These artists are taking a stand with their own exhibition, titled “Off The Beaten Path.”

What to Expect

Off The Beaten Path offers something more raw, real, and vital. In the wake of numerous artist-run spaces and studios closing due to lack of support, these artists are seizing the moment to show that they exist, thrive, and continue to create despite the odds. This exhibition not only presents their work but also serves as a powerful statement about the realities of being an artist today in Atlanta.

Featured Artists

The exhibition will feature a dynamic group of artists, Jean Icart-Pierre, Joseph Abu, LeMarques McClide, Taylor Jiles, and Kiara Gilbert, each bringing their own unique vision and voice. They aim to reclaim space in a rapidly gentrifying city, where art is often commodified, marginalized and artists’ voices are left out of the conversation.

Off The Beaten Path is more than just an alternative show - it’s a call to action, a reminder that art isn’t confined to galleries and that true creativity often thrives outside the traditional boundaries. Visitors can expect to engage with a diverse range of works that challenge narratives, deconstruct power structures, and ultimately highlight the resilience of Atlanta’s artistic community.
