Atlanta Contemporary is proud to host a screening of the episode “Johannesburg”, featuring artists David Goldblatt, Nicholas Hlobo, Zanele Muholi, Robin Rhode, from the newest season of Art21’s critically acclaimed Art in the Twenty-First Century television series.
This screening will work in conjunction with Contemporary Cocktails featuring a curated selection of drinks from our Mixologist-in-Residence Cole Tanner available for purchase at our cash/card bar.
The only series on television in the U.S. to focus exclusively on contemporary visual art and artists, Art in the Twenty-First Century is a Peabody Award-winning biennial program that allows viewers to observe the artists at work, watch as they transform inspiration into art, and hear how they struggle with both the physical and visual challenges of achieving their visions.
Art in the Twenty-First Century airs on PBS in the U.S.

An Atlanta native, Cole has always strived to be a true individual. Growing up in holistic, all-natural environments he learned early on the importance of sustainability & thinking outside the box. Sinking his teeth into the hospitality industry enabled him to experiment with different approaches to culinary crafting, eventually finding that where he shined the most was in engaging with new people & sharing his passion for culinary creativity.
