Erin Tapp's gallery show, titled "Steady as Sunshine," is currently on view at our Octane Westside location. The show includes expressive and vibrant paintings, ranging from tender landscapes to bold abstract forms. Erin graduated as a Presidential Scholar for the Visual Arts from Wake Forest University, and works full time as a painter at Atlanta's Goat Farm. We visited her studio to talk colors, nostalgia, and vulnerability. 

In honor of our 2018 Lonely Hunter blend, Revelator Coffee visited the Carson McCullers Center for Writers and Musicians in Columbus, GA. The center operates a museum in Carson McCullers' childhood home, presents educational and cultural programs for the community, maintains an ever-growing archive of materials related to Carson's life and work, and offers fellowships for writers and composers who live for periods of time at the Center. Director Nick Norwood gave us a tour and spoke to us about Carson’s life and legacy.

To get to the town of San Martín de Pangoa, you drive straight down from the airport in the high plains of Jauja. From there, it’s a five or six hour commute to the Selva Central. It’s real cold and real high in Jauja, and it gets real hot about four hours in.

Patrick DeAngelis is the new curator of local art at our Octane Westside location. Patrick has an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art and has been showing art in Atlanta for the past 10 years. His current show, “I saw your garage light was on,” kicks off an ongoing ‘pass the torch’ curatorial system, in which the featured artist will select the next artist to show. “I saw your garage light was on” is on display at Octane Westside through January 15.
