C4 Atlanta selects 14 for art training

C4 Atlanta, the Atlanta nonprofit that serves artists and arts organizations, has selected 14 metro artists to help pilot Hatch, a program that will teach the legal, financial and “soft” skills required to lead community-based art projects.

C4 recently was awarded a two-year, $100,000 grant from the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation in support of its Ignite and Hatch professional development programs for artists.

The initial Hatch cohort begins this month.

“The first round of artists represent an artistically diverse pool of professionals who are already participating in community-based art,” C4 executive director Jessyca Holland said. “Their input will help us shape the program.”

2015-16 Hatch artists include Jessica Caldas, Orion Crook, Michael Jones, Angela Davis Johnson, Danielle Deadwyler, Nick Madden, William Massey, Charmaine Minniefield, Lauren Pallotta, Shelia Pree Bright, Kris Pilcher, Scottie Rowell, Hez Stalcup and Shannon Willow.
