Jaden Smith to host ARTS Atlanta Festival on Halloween weekend
If you’re looking for Halloween weekend activities, you don’t have to look any further than the ARTS Atlanta Festival hosted by Jaden Smith — art, food, music, and so much more included!
The quarterly ARTS Atlanta series aims to celebrate art in all forms through fashion, dance, music, food, installations, or even multimedia projects. Jaden Smith will host the event highlighting several talents like painter Kevin “Wak” Williams, who specializes in paintings and sketches that depict famous black leaders and activists. Williams is also said to capture the essence and strength of the Black community through his other works of art.
Raury is another artist featured at the festival, which is a big deal considering several music critics have compared his work to Andre 3000, an Atlanta native and one-half of the renowned group Outkast.
We can’t forget about the exceptional talent that is DJ Florista. You’ll get a bit of Latin, afrobeat, soul, jazz, disco, hip hop, and anything else you can think of that keeps you moving.
There will also be live performances by a slew of Atlanta’s hottest DJs and artists, including Wifi Daddy, DJ Mars, Genesis, Mudra Mami, Kashii, Demmy Boy, Shaun Rose, Anna Field, Mike Rivers, Trent in the Trees, and Ed.Win, to name a few.
When it comes to the curated selection of artists, you’re getting a little bit of everything. The artists will showcase their work in various media - including film, fashion, paintings, photography, and sculpture to create an immersive multimedia experience. Those artists include Miya Bailey, Eugene Byrd, Tim Short, Neka King, Trey Dowell, Dizzy, Johnny Self, Sage Guillory, Uncle Bree, Ellex Swavoni, Fabian Williams, AD, Joseph Abu, Quake Solo, Emmanual Rivas, Quamaine Giles, Bri Simpson, Honey Pierre, Ugochukwu Agoruah, Stu, Dane Brown, Amani Booker, and more.
