Atlanta’s creative community came together in full force for “Tattoos, Booze, Art & Shoes”, a one-of-a-kind counter-culture art experience and fundraiser in support of Affirmations Across Atlanta. Held at Monday Night Garage, hosted by Lex the Visionary, the event fused tattoo artistry, live painting, sneaker culture, and craft cocktails to create an electrifying atmosphere where self-expression and community impact took center stage.
From the moment doors opened, attendees were immersed in an environment that celebrated art in its rawest forms—whether through the buzzing sound of tattoo guns, the vibrant strokes of live painters, or the rhythmic energy of DJ-driven beats. Beyond the creative elements, the event carried a deeper purpose, raising awareness and funds for initiatives dedicated to artistic empowerment and mental wellness in underrepresented communities. The night was a powerful testament to the way art, culture, and activism intersect to spark meaningful change.
“This event was more than just art, music, and culture—it was about uniting the community through creativity and purpose. Every tattoo, every sneaker, every brushstroke contributed to something bigger,” said Brian Glasper, Executive Director, B-Aware Foundation & CEO, A-Town Art Agency.
