The Writtten Images Poetry Fest





Recently, our group ventured from our micropolitan town of Milledgeville to the Metropolitan area of Atlanta and visted the Apache Cafe. It was a steamy summer night and the Written Images Poetry Fest was in full effect as various nationally know poets like, Tommy Bottoms and Black Ice took the stage and performed alongside local Atlanta poets. A.A.C. had the esteem honor of participating in this event and we hope to participate in next year's show.




Due to the darkness and inablity to see the LCD we had an ordeal trying to ake a group photo. Here are our attempts.

OD is just an "O".

Joey is sleeping.

Tameka gets decapitated.


I'm not even going to show you what the pictures of me (Paul Grigsby) look like on stage. Despite this little mishap, we still had fun giving Apache a little dose of A.A.C.

A Curtain Warmer

Recently Art as as Agent for Change was given the distinguished honor of opening up for a production of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls who have Considered Suicide when the Rainbow is Enuf".



This is a picture of a portion of the cast getting ready before the show and we are pleased to have musicians Mickey Mack and Yuchuan Chen participate in their first performance with A.A.C. The curtain warmer featured an excerpt from"The Street Corner", a brand new show from A.A.C. "The Street Corner" features a blend of music and poetry that centers on the topic of violence. The show is scheduled to debut during October of 2007. Be There!
