Every Monday at the Mecca for creativity, here in Atlanta, the Bohemian Circus is to be witnessed.
Celebrating 10 years is this amazing Masquerade. It is an immediate immersion into culture and colors. Presenting the powers of artistry live and direct, Art Mondays, as it was formerly known, offers a creative environment that features the unexpected.
Met by the sweetness of burning incense upon entrance, a spectator observes many masters of line and shade creating on their canvases. A figure drawing takes place from 7:30pm - 11pm, with a live model posted prominently in the midst of photographers and flashes. Watercolors, markers, and charcoal pens go to work giving birth to different renditions of beauty. Streamline, svelte models adorned in bangles with black lace, provides inspiration for their inscriptions. Every week allows the involvement of a different model. From the brownest skinned goddess figurines, to the presentation of shaded lids and lips rocking French tips and other well-structured subjects.
Apache continues to provide the platform for such honesty and exchange. On the first Monday of each month, there is a featured artist whose works are displayed for the public to view and that artist participates in a Q and A. There is a wealth of wisdom to be gained here. It is and awesome arena for many because its the birthing place of innovating a story. Enhanced by the performance of live music, or beats on occasion, you have an amalgamation of artistry awesome to be evidenced.
Art Mondays can get you attuned to your ancestry, give you a good groove, draw a fantastic diorama of the Diaspora, or just get you in a good mood, while giving you something good to look at. There is honestly nothing like it. If you’re feeling some trumpet, sax, and keys, want to practice your painting, or picture taking, maybe you just craving good food and drinks. The Bohemian Circus is a must see. Once again friends, it’s another evening where the Apache Café is the perfect place to be.
