EAST POINT, Georgia (June 24, 2022) \u2013 The recently-opened Black Art In America Gallery and Sculpture\"\" Garden at 1802 Connally Drive in East Point is the proud host of a new mural by renowned visual artist, Fabian Williams. The full-service art gallery, open Thursday through Saturday from 11am to 6pm and on other days by appointment, sits on nearly an acre of land and is fronted by a sculpture garden. Williams\u2019 mural adorns the building\u2019s side, a massive 80 x 14-foot work of art depicting several young, enlightened beings riding clouds while holding a book or sitting lotus position with eyes closed, meditating.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
“The mural sits in the middle of East Point, in a predominantly black neighborhood on the wall of the newly opened, black-owned Black Art In America,\u201d recently offered Williams. \u201cThe theme asks that younger people imagine the world they actually want to live in. Too often we stress that we have to fix the problems of the generation before us, knowing that to make a better world, we need new and brave ideas on how to move forward. This mural is about meditating on that brave new world that they will imagine starting now.”<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
William\u2019s colorful mural was sponsored by Coca-Cola as part of an ongoing partnership with seven local artists of diverse backgrounds to commission murals in and around Metro Atlanta that celebrate the city, its neighborhoods, its unique personalities and culture. As an organization, Coca-Cola wishes to recognize and acknowledge its hometown as a place unlike any other, rich with history and made up of a diverse tapestry of neighborhoods, communities, and consumers.<\/div>\r\n
