The Adair Street Art Project (Atlanta, GA)
Shira "Norma Jean" Benson was commissioned by the Adair Park Community located in the West End of Atlanta to design and create Street Art Banners for the neighborhood. The purpose of this project was to bring safety to drivers and pedestrians in the inner city of Atlanta by slowing down traffic as drivers admire the beautiful artwork. The work is also reflective of the people who resides in Adair Park. Norma Jean had the pleasure of residing in this neighborhood during her early 20s. She created a banner that represents her beautiful encounters with her neighborhood friends.

NUSICFEST !!!

   On November 30, Norma Jean and Femme took a trip to Charlotte, NC to support their friends in their event, NusicFest . There were live performances by Carson   (a rockband) and BSE (a rapping group), who are both from Charlotte. There were also clothing lines present with vendor booths to promote their lines such as Baked Goods Apparel , HotDogWater , and Materialistic Morphine . The event took place in McKnight Hall on UNCC campus and the doors opened at 6:30 PM. There were a lot of new faces and Norma Jean was even able to promote herself as a stylist and artist. We definitely enjoyed the event!  Below: This the rockand Carson. They had a really great performance!     Below: BSE's Prince Rob and Frank Zones patiently waiting for their time to perform.  BSE member 'Flossy B' is pictured below performing.

About every month or so, NC A&T's Art Department exhibits different students' art work in the main art buidling, Frazier. For November and December, students from Elon University and of course, A&T had a chance to exhibit their work. This recent display was Graphics. This piece was done by Kendria Latrice (NC A&T). I don't know her exact meaning behind this piece but I believe it to be a  Black Jesus vs White Jesus concept. This would be the "White Jesus". He is characterized by his long pointy nose, small lips, and pale skin.  This is most likely the "Black Jesus". He is characterized by his full nose, plump lips, and the dark shading. This piece was done by Qunicy Smith (NC A&T) . Quincy along with Elon students did a theme based on the tragedy of police forces killing innocent people. This is a student from Elons' work.
