NEXT is a showcase of the hottest and brightest stars in the musical, visual and literary arts -- those right on the cusp of stardom -- as well as their fans and the city's leading champions of the arts.

On Friday, September 13, NEXT and the National Black Arts (NBAF) will present the groundbreaking work of rising visual art star Angela Davis Johnson, Atlanta's premier cellist Okorie Johnson aka "OkCello" and award-winning HBO Def Jam spoken word artist Carlos Andres Gomez.

But NEXT is about more than art for art's sake. This interactive salon encourages real-time collaboration between the artists and everyone in the audience in an evening of high-level connecting, candid conversation and soul-baring performances.

Join us for this exclusive gathering on Friday, September 13 from 7-10 p.m. at SPOKE ATL, located at 1450 La France Street, Atlanta, GA 30307, in Atlanta's latest transit-oriented development, for one of NBAF’s 2019 highlight events. Wine and hors d'ouevres will be served. Attendance is free, but seating is limited.

Thanks to the generous support of the NBAF, NEXT begins here…
