<;div>;”Night,” is defined as the time of darkness between one day and the next.  The time of day when no light from the sun can be seen.  Examples to describe “Night,” are, “It is not safe to go outside at nighttime,” or, “The animal hunts in the nighttime.”  This show will be a setting in which a conglomerate collection of human interactions at this said time of day are shown.  Completed in the artists’ own manifestations, they are interactions ranging from recreation, to things possibly of a sinister nature, to nothing occurring at all.  Inspired by the city of Atlanta itself, and the ever changing actions of it, ourselves, atmosphere, and those around us, the artists in “As the City Sleeps,” were told to visually express and interpret their thoughts on this very concept of night. “What are one’s expectations when going out?”  “What do people do?”  “Where do they do these things?”  Whether broad or specific, the goal was to incorporate a wide variety of artists who each specialize in a different medium and unique style.  All friends of the curators, each brought something different to the table. They took a simple concept and explored its complexity.  A natural event, something that happens in the same period of time each and every day explored through drawing, painting, and video.  Follow us on tumblr <;a href="http://asthecitysleepsatl.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">;here<;/a>; or join our facebook event <;a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/323294171070470/" target="_blank">;here<;/a>;.<;/div>;
