📢Calling all Atlanta street art fans📢

On Friday, April 10th we’re hosting a FREE bus tour from 10am-1pm departing from the Glenn Memorial Church.

The Painted City tour will take guests to three Atlanta locations, guided by photographer and documentarian and .tulke (Assistant Teaching Professor, ILA). Together, we’ll explore how Style Writers and muralists have transformed public spaces into vibrant works of art, while also engaging the ethical questions these works raise, including issues of authorship, ownership, public versus private space, and the line between creative expression and regulation.

🥪 🥤 LUNCH INCLUDED!

🎭Ethics on the Stage presents FIRES, OHIO🔥

On Monday, February 9 from 6:30–8:00pm (Rita Anne Rollins Bldg. Room 102), Paul Root Wolpe returns for an evening of staged readings and conversation alongside the cast and Alliance Theatre Director of New Works Amanda Watkins, exploring the moral questions at the heart of the Alliance Theatre’s upcoming production of FIRES, OHIO.

As wildfires rage closer and closer to a small Ohio college town, the mopey grown children and second wife of a sort-of-mediocre professor are threatened by another kind of crisis: a visit from a family friend that threatens to bring all of their tensions to a towering inferno. Now, each of them will be forced to choose: stay and smolder, or leave and burn? Inspired by the classic family drama Uncle Vanya, FIRES, OHIO updates a beloved story for our painfully absurd present, taking a hilarious and heartfelt look at the natural (and personal) disasters that transform our everyday lives.

✨ Join us for the opening of Between Shadow and Light: Artwork on Compassion, the inaugural show of the & Creative Conscience Gallery, this Wed 1/28 at 5pm at the Center for Ethics 🎨

This exhibition features artwork created by Emory students selected from Introduction to Painting and Modes of Visual Thinking studio art courses. Developed in collaboration with Ethics & the Arts at the Emory Center for Ethics, the works explore the theme of compassion through drawing, painting, and sculpture. Ranging from quiet, intimate gestures to more expansive visual reflections, these student artworks consider how empathy, care, and ethical awareness can be expressed through close observation, material choices, and creative process. These works highlight artmaking as a space for reflection, connection, and thoughtful engagement with the human experience.

🍪🍇🥤Light refreshments will be served!
