June 13 – September 12, 2015
The Artists Reception on Saturday, June 27, 4-6pm, featured a performance by Hez Stalcup.

Featuring works by Leap Year Hambidge Fellows, Leap Year(s) explored the relationship between eight artists and their diverse practices. The Leap Year Artist program, facilitated by MINT, is a platform of support for emerging artists that utilizes the established talent and organic connectivity of Atlanta’s artistic community. Leap Year’s goals are to provide space and support for emerging artists to be more thoughtful about their work and creative careers, to foster partnerships and community between various arts organizations, to create a more sustainable arts economy, and to nurture a generous artistic spirit.

While the exhibition is primarily a survey of recent works, viewers could begin to draw meaningful connections between these works, which have been created by the artists in a similar, pivotal point in their artist development. The artists work in a range of media and processes, including manipulated found objects, works on paper, alternative printmaking methods, audio composition, and sculptural form. The selected works referenced a minimalist aesthetic in the simplicity of their form and composition, while conceptually imparting personal narratives and content.

Assembled by guest curator Candice Greathouse. Artists: Curtis Ames, Ashley Anderson, Jessica Caldas, Jane Garver, Rebecca Hanna, Matthew Rosenfeld, Hez Stalcup, and Vanessa Brook Williams.
