Life is about as colorful, eccentric, and exciting as a person makes it. Beauty is created in the minds of those imaginative enough to create something remarkable out of the everyday moments that are often neglected. 

Choosing to look past the dullness of moments and instead framing simplicity with an electric shock of color and radiance is a talent very few have, however it is a talent that London-based artist Joanna Pilarchzyk perfected to a T.  

The public art program, ELEVATE ATL is bringing queer art out in the open with its new four-week-long festival event, “OPEN SPACES.”

Running from September 16th to October 9th, OPEN SPACES will feature unique and talented artists, dancers, and musicians in a lineup of art exhibits, festivals, and shows. Each of these events will emphasize inclusivity as well as exploring "some of Atlanta's most interesting and beautiful spaces this fall," said Executive Director of the Atlanta Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs, Camille Russell Love, in an article for the Reporter Newspaper.
