Join us for the closing weekend of Beau McCall: Divas, Blues, and Memories at Hammonds House Museum. 🎶✨
This powerful exhibition draws from three distinct series that celebrate music as inspiration, emotional refuge, and a marker of life’s most meaningful moments. At its core are McCall’s music-themed collages—meticulously handcrafted using personal archival photos, papers, and imagery from his signature button-embellished works, then transformed into luminous metal prints.
Featuring selections from Diva Worship and REWIND: MEMORIES ON REPEAT, the exhibition honors iconic and underrepresented divas of all gender identities whose music shaped, empowered, and sustained McCall—especially during his coming-of-age in the 1970s LGBTQ+ community.
Don’t miss your final chance to experience this immersive and deeply personal body of work.
🗓 Saturday: 11 AM – 5 PM
🗓 Sunday: 12 PM – 5 PM (FREE admission)

As we continue to celebrate Women’s History Month, today we shine a spotlight on Emma Amos, an Atlanta-born artist whose bold, vibrant work explored the intersections of race, gender, identity, and power. Throughout her career, Amos challenged the barriers faced by Black women in the art world, using painting, printmaking, and textiles to create dynamic works that questioned representation and celebrated Black life.
A pioneering voice in both feminist and contemporary art movements, Emma Amos reminds us that art can be both a form of resistance and a celebration of identity.
Join us this Women’s History Month as we continue to uplift the women whose creativity, courage, and vision inspire generations.
