ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2024 / Scott T. Jackson, candidate for the Georgia House of Representatives District 111, is hosting a unique art exhibit, "Where Art, Culture, and Civic Engagement Meet," to celebrate community, elevate the voices of local artists, and inspire voter participation in the upcoming election. The exhibit will take place on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024.
This one-of-a-kind event will feature the esteemed artist Gilbert Young as a special guest and showcase his impactful body of work. Known for his deeply inspiring pieces that capture the Black American experience and highlight themes of unity, resilience, and cultural pride, Young has made a significant mark in the world of art and beyond.
Young has been widely celebrated for his contributions to the arts, including receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Barack H. Obama Foundation. In a groundbreaking career moment, he became the only artist in the world to create a portrait of a sitting American President that was personally signed by the subject. Through his work, Young has continued to resonate with audiences around the globe, advocating for equality, justice, and unity - a legacy that aligns closely with Jackson's campaign vision for a more inclusive, engaged Georgia.
"I am thrilled to have Gilbert Young as our featured artist for this exhibit," said Scott T. Jackson.

Together, we hope to inspire our community to not only appreciate the beauty of art but to also realize the power of their voice through voting."
