What an opportunity to celebrate the life, art, music and community of Dr. Nina Simone through the visual arts. This fine arts exhibition features a wonderfully diverse selection of artwork created by fine artists from across the country, who gave Nina Simone new voice through their work.

We selected a number of the Atlanta’s fine artists to create works inspired by the legendary singer and civil rights activist. In addition, a select group of national fine artists were invited to participate. The exhibition includes paintings by renowned fine artists such as Jonathan Green, Paul Goodnight and Synthia Saint James, and legendary actor Billy Dee Williams. This exhibition will travel throughout the country and ultimately will reach global destinations.

Each fine artist was free to interpret their vision of Nina Simone using media and genres of choice, resulting in two and three dimensional works.

This is an opportunity to meet the visual artists as they share the stories of how they created each piece.
