Raices & Resistance: The Liner Notes

Raices & Resistance: The Brown Sounds of L.A. 2000-2010

There are sometimes fortuitous moments when the spotlight on music falls in just the right place at just the right time: New Orleans during the 1920s, San Francisco in the Age of Aquarius, or Seattle in the Grunge Era. Each moment different, but equally a watershed. Then, there are also the times and places where the seeds of genius are budding all around, but those pioneers of the day are ahead of their time, or they simply don’t get the financial or promotional watering that they need to flourish. Think of New York’s Jazz scene during WWII, or the American pioneers of Punk Rock in the early 70’s. Those eras are the ones that are most akin to what happened in L.A.’s Latin music scene of the 2000s.

At the end of the 90’s, Ozomatli had gained much deserved recognition with the release of their eponymously titled debut album in 1998, and it seemed as if the spotlight was about to fall on the Latin music community right when it was in the beginning of a renaissance. Yet, when the new millennium came, times were tough everywhere, and nowhere could this be more clearly seen than in the music industry. Internet platforms like Napster made free online music downloads ready for the masses, and caused the industry’s near collapse. MySpace emerged as the first social media platform for new musicians to connect with audiences, but it lacked the reach of today’s YouTube and Facebook. As the L.A. Times noted in 2004, “Major multinational labels, struggling with an economic downturn, are reluctant to invest what it takes to break new acts, especially in a genre (like Latin Alternative) that gets little airplay and needs significant label support.”

By the 20teens, things were looking very different as the music industry had reinvented itself (albeit with missing limbs and less money in the bank), and it had again turned its eye toward the L.A. Latino music community with Grammys handed out to Quetzal and La Santa Cecilia. The buzz of L.A.’s Latin talent was spreading to audiences in the U.S.’s Spanish speaking communities, so as the economy began to resurge, bands were having an easier time with self-marketing, tours, and album sales.

So who was there during this creative explosion of L.A.’s Latin music community of the 2000s? And what were the common threads running through this musical tapestry? These are important elements to consider when creating a title for this compilation, and the diversity of the scene made this a difficult task. Not all of the artists were rock. Most sang in both English and Spanish. A couple of them only sang in Spanish. Most had roots in local community oriented civil rights activism, but not all. Hmmm. Simple, yet complex. Despite the eclectic range of all these artists combined, they were (or still are) a close knit group of musicians: a musical community. For example, I don’t know all of them personally, but I know that there is no more than one degree of separation between me and any of the artists on this compilation.

There were community centers and connections like the L.A.C.E.R. after school arts program where many of the artists on this compilation worked and met. There was Tia Chucha’s, Smoke N Mirrors, S.P.A.R.C., Casa 0101, KillRadio.Org, KPFK and others. The abuelita of them all? Self-Help Graphics. These cultural centers gave a platform for artists in the community, and deserve credit for fostering the incredible music that continues to emerge from the Latin community. The EZLN movement in Chiapas was still fresh in peoples’ minds in the 2000s, and it fostered things, too. It was a revolutionary inspiration in the face of the post 911 America when gentrification began to sweep through the eastside of L.A., and The South Central Farmers were forced off their land to make way for so called “progress.” Bush was president, the country went to war under false pretenses, and we forged a spirit of resistance for new immigrants, Indigenous peoples, urban gardening, art, love, peace, and understanding. Some things change. Some don’t.

By the 20teens, in the wake of the creative explosion that happened during the 2000s, came a time when the spotlight came back around to this same community with Grammys given to Quetzal and La Santa Cecilia. Latin Electronica game to be included under the larger category of Global Bass. The rise of Subsuelo also came, along with the rising careers of artists like Captain Planet, Rafi El, Buyepongo, Las Cafeteras, The Boogaloo Assassins, and more. My ultimate hope is that we can all see the debt owed to these pioneers of the 2000s, and that we never forget their musical legacy. With 60 million Latinos living in the United States in 2020, the audience for this music ain’t going no where!

Note: I know some of you out there will be disappointed in the selections I made, and that’s okay. We can only see things from our own perspective and the experiences that inform it., These are the artists that I experienced, and this is just a sampling of some of my favorite songs. If Menoman or Mark Torres did this, you’d probably get a totally different angle. Also, know that I did my best to research all of the artists and tracks listed here, but sometimes that information was not available. In those instances, I had to employ my imperfect memory. You can post a comment to let me know corrections that should be made, or share out who think I should have also included (but remember, only artists with releases during the 2000s).

Agave Ocotillo (Fósforo - Even The Sun 2005): The trio consisted of three high school friends that grew up in the San Fernando Valley. Proving themselves to be beyond the scope of their peers in both musical and lyrical range, Fósforó penned their sound as Punky Reggae Jungle. Playing with rhythms such as Reggae, Jungle, Drum-n-Bass, Cumbia, Rock and more, vocalist/songwriter Rafi B. of Argentinian and Israeli descent, also sang in English, Spanish and Hebrew. Fósforo would forge an alliance with L.A.’s other Latin Electronica pioneers: Mezklah. Rafi B. would later become DJ/Producer Rafi El for the Dutty Artz label while Cesar Ventura would become a percussionist for the Fania label’s Boogaloo Assassins. The song featured here is a poetic homage to the enduring strength of “La Raza.”

Crazy Baldheads (Quinto Sol - Barrio Roots 2003): The name “Quinto Sol” is Spanish for the “fifth sun,” and it is a reference to the Aztec myth of creation and destruction. The band got their start in 1994, but Barrio Roots was their first full-length album release. Quinto Sol has intimately connected themselves to the Chicano Civil Rights Movement, and they have used Roots Reggae as a vehicle to delve into their own Meztizo roots. Their latest album, Spirits of the Martyrs, was released in 2014.

Chango AraÑa (Mezklah - Spider Monkey 2005): Making their stage debut in 2000, Mezklah emerged as the first Latin Electronica band in North America. Borrowing music from around the globe, singer/songwriter Angel Garcia and guitarist Greg Hernandez forged a sound that was Spanish/Bilingual, but completely different from their contemporaries. They crafted bass heavy electronic rhythms to fuse Cuban Son, Reggae, Drum-n-Bass, Blues, Hard Rock, Psychedelia, Cumbia and more into tightly structured and hook filled socially conscious pop songs ready for the dancefloor. In 2004, they were nominated by L.A. Weekly as the city’s best World Music/Recombinant Artist, and in 2005, they won L.A.’s Battle of The Bands. After one album and an EP, as well as tours in Mexico and the Southwest, Europe and Japan, Mezklah disbanded in 2010. They announced their reformation on KPTZ 91.9 FM in December, 2019. A new album is expected in 2020.

Cumbia de la Flor (East L.A. Sabor Factory - Party At Louie’s 2002): Headed up by frontman Ricky Ray Rivera, the trajectory of East L.A. Sabor Factory was straight up when they first appeared on the scene 1999, but unfortunately, their momentum didn’t carry them far enough. They changed their name after the release of Party At Louie’s, and broke apart shortly thereafter. This track captures the danceable high energy of the band and was a crowd favorite when they played live, but doesn’t feature Rivera’s bilingual rapping. In 2007, Rivera would go on to release a solo album titled Neighborhood Fame.

Nada Mio Es Fake (Los Abandoned - Mix Tape 2006): No other artist arising in L.A.’s bilingual music community seemed like such a clear bet to wear the glass slipper of success as Los Abandoned. They were sharing the stage with the likes of Café Tacuba, The Breeders, Julieta Venegas, Molotov, and Aterciopelados, and they signed with Neil Young’s Vapor Records in 2005. They released a Christmas single and two EPs before releasing Mix Tape as their first full length album in 2006. The critics loved them, their songs were catchy (the pop song I’m featuring here was not even one of their released singles), and they had a sexy singer. Vocalist Lady P. (Pilar Diaz of Chilean descent) was the primary creative force behind Los Abandoned, and just as their success was in full bloom, she called it quits in 2007. Lady P. has since released two solo albums under the name Maria del Pilar.

Trouble In My Soul (Mexican Dubwiser - Revolution Radio 2010): Before becoming a superstar DJ/Producer duo with Kinky’s Ulises Lozano, Marcelo Tijerina was solo stepping on L.A. as a transplant from Montery Mexico’s Avanzada Regio music scene. This version of the Trouble In My Soul single features San Francisco DJ/Producer Romanowski.

Luna Negra (Olmeca w/Los Cojolites - Self Release 2005): Olmeca should be recognized as one of the hardest working music artists in the Chicano music scene. Placing himself in the same corner as Hip-Hop elder KRS-One, he identifies himself as a music artist, activist, and scholar. In 1999, he joined L.A. band Slowrider. After their 2003 album Historias En Revisión, he stepped out as a solo artist. He has gone on release several albums (including 2019’s Define), toured universities as a guest lecturer, and he is currently faculty at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the Interdisciplinary Gender and Ethnic Studies Department. Los Cojolites are a Son Jarocho group from the Mexican state of Veracruz that is often noted for their candid social commentary.

Jarocho Elegua (Quetzal - Sing The Real 2002): Formed by guitarist Quetzal Flores in 1992, the band Quetzal released their eponymously titled debut album in 1998 after vocalist Martha Gonzalez joined the band. Continually fusing social activism with music, Quetzal has received accolades from the world of scholars and activists, as well as receiving the 2013 Grammy for Best Latin Pop, Rock, or Urban Album for their release of Imaginaries.

No Me Te Pido Mas (Domingo Siete - Quitate La Mascara 2005): Martha Gonzalez is not the only one in her family to possess musical talent. Her brother Gabriel Tenorio did just fine for himself as the singer/song-writer/guitarist for Domingo Siete. They toured Europe, they shared the stage with Los Lobos, Cheryl Crow, & Ozomatli, and they released two full length albums. Dame might have been the single that Gabriel would want me to highlight, but this one was always my favorite.

Cuenten Lo (Pe Ere - Demo Collaboration w/producer Rafi Benjamin of Fósforó 2006): Pe Ere was most often seen performing as a duo with Pantera. The two were immigrants from Nigaragua with a passion for Reggaeton. Pe Ere demonstrated great stage presence during his time in the scene, and this song reflects that he was not afraid to try new innovative sounds, but his run was too short. Where are you now, P.R.?

La Sirena (Beatriz Torres - La Sirena E.P. 2002): Produced by her soon to be husband, Angel Garcia of Mezklah fame, this song and E.P. reflect a vibrant new take on Trip-Hop from a Chicana perspective. Torres’ performances incorporated both poetry and performance art. She took the stage across L.A. opening for Mezklah and Fósforó, and she toured Mexico with Mezklah and DJ David BoNobO in 2003. She retired from performing in 2004 with the birth of her first child.

Pa La Paloma (Alquimia Remixed by David BoNobO - Single 2005): Alquimia was a band out of Bogotá, Colombia that featured singer Janio Coronado (he would go on to sing for Sidestepper). DJ/Producer David BoNobO has played parties in Cuba, toured Mexico in 2003, and held residencies in Oaxaca, Mexico in 2005, and 2008. He also shared the stage with the following artists on this compilation: Beatriz Torres, Fitter, Fósforó, Go Betty Go, Mexican Dubwiser, Mezkalah, Olmeca, Pe Ere, Quetzal, Very Be Careful, and Xochisoneros. This song was his first venture into the realm of producing and remixing. How BoNobO, a white guy transplanted to L.A. from Portland, came to be part of this scene is still a matter of great contention and debate.

Celosa feat. Locos Por Juana (Palenke Soultribe - Oro 2009): Palenke Soultribe transplanted to L.A. in 2006 from Bogotá, Colombia. The group initially consisted of producer/bassist Juan Diego Borda and keyboardist/producer Andres “Popa” Erazo, but grew to include a rotating list of musicians collaborating with them as a collective. This track displays one of several connections Miami’s Locos Por Juana made with Angelinos during the 2000s.

Warriors feat. Will.I.Am - BEP Remix (Burning Star - Eponymous 2003): Upon the release of their debut album, Burning Star said they aimed to “utilize art as a tool for the reconstruction of the community through the participation of community based programs,” and they had the talent and work ethic to back up such an ambitious statement. At one point in time, you could find a vinyl Burning Star sticker on the light post of every intersection or crosswalk in the city of L.A. Despite their hard effort & amazing line-up of musicians, the flame burned out after just one album. Bassist Emilio Saenz went on to play with the Boogaloo Assassins, Drummer Cisco Huete later played drums for Monte Carlo 76, percussionist Gerry Morales went to Spain to study Flamenco guitar and became a featured artist at Subsuelo, Joshua Alvarez did some collaborative work with Black Eyed Peas, and vocalist/keyboardist Quincy McCary has gone on to work with the likes of Quetzal, Bitbull, Mayer Hawthorne, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and Jack White. In 2019, McCrary released a solo debut under the name Qemistry.

Street Signs (Ozomatli - Street Signs 2004): Street Signs was the title song from Ozomatli’s third studio album, and it followed the success of Embracing The Chaos, the one that earned them the Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album. Their first studio release came in 1998, and it featured rapper Charli 2na and DJ Cut Chemist, and it put L.A.’s Latin music scene back on the map internationally. Since then, they have very much been the leaders of the pack. Their eighth studio album Non-Stop: Mexico to Jamaica was produced by Sly & Robbie and released in 2017.

The Garage (Monte Carlo 76 - Marisa 2008): Birthed in 2003 from the remains of keyboardist Gomez Comes Alive and guitarist Jeremy Keller’s former group Slowrider, Monte Carlo 76 painted vignettes of growing up in East L.A. with their lyrics. Behind that was a musical tipping of the hat to classic 70’s Chicano Rock that never sounded retro. Completing two albums during their run with the help of producers Martha Gonzalez and Quetzal Flores of the band Quetzal, Monte Carlo 76 garnered them a L.A. Weekly Music Awards nomination for Best Latin Alternative Band.

The Coconut Tree (Fitter - Through The Green Jungles of Plenty… 2009): Fitter found success and acclaim in El Salvador, the nation their families came from, despite the fact that they were hard to classify. A fiercely innovative rock band, they took frequent influence from Dub Reggae and African music. Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Wilfredo Mendez was noted for having electrified a traditional folkloric guitar from El Salvador to produce new sounds that had never been heard. They collaborated with Fósforó’s Rafi B., and released two albums in the 2000s. Unfortunately, things came to an end for them when Mendez suffered impairments to his speech and motor skills due to a benign tumor in his brain in 2012.

Haves And Have Nots (Aztlan Underground - Single 2000): Having roots in East L.A.’s hardcore punk scene of the 1980’s, Aztlan was championed by Rage Against the Machine’s Zack De La Rocha when they released their debut album, Decolonize, in 1995. By the 2000s, they were like the scene’s thundering elders reminding newbies of the need to stay socially conscious with their music through lending their voice to numerous community events such as the Farce of July, and the second protest concert in support of The South Central Farmers. They’ve released three albums and played Mexico, Canada, Australia and Spain. They released the single Black Lives Matter in 2019.

No Hay Perdon (Go Betty Go - Nothing Is More 2005): Formed in Glendale in 2005, this all female group proved that they could rock hard while also being able to compose more melodic ballads. They joined the Vans Warped tour in 2004 and 2005. The track highlighted here features the vocals of Nicolette Vilar who left the band in 2006 and rejoined them in 2012. Their third studio release came in the form of an EP titled Reboot in 2015.

El Hospital (Very Be Careful - Escape Room 2010): They may have started up in NYC in 1997, but this band belongs to L.A. While the style they play is traditional Vallento, they are often credited as the L.A. band that made Cumbia hip again. Formed by brothers Ricardo and Arturo Guzman after being inspired by a trip to visit family in Colombia, the group is comprised of five friends who grew up within blocks of each other, plus the Guzman’s aunt Deicy to helps cover the songwriting duties. Releasing their first full length album in 2001, the VBC have gone on to release seven albums to date. They’ve played the giant Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, and the reknowned Glastonbury Festival in England. Their music may be acoustic, but their shows are rawkus bawdy, and filled with Punk attitude.

El Caballito (Xochisoneros - El Caiman 2003): Formed by musician and anthropologist Hector Marquez and musicologist Efren Luna, Xochisoneros brought a flavor to the scene that was more Mexican and less Angelino. Crafting traditional songs in the styles of Son Huasteco, Son Jarocho, Son Cubano, and Colombian Cumbia, they almost exclusively played community or protest events as they used their musical platform for social justice, and to help to show that Mexico has its place in the lexicon of Carribean music. La Marisol of the Grammy Award winning band La Santa Cecilia was a student of Marquez, and she would join the group while she was still in high school. That was an education that you could not put a price on!

The Riverside Art Museum continues to connect the community through art and to look toward to the future.

For over 50 years, the Riverside Art Museum has introduced the community to traditional and contemporary art through exhibitions of world-renowned artists as well as local and young aspiring artists. The museum also offers quality art classes throughout the year, creating a deeper connection to art in youth and adults.

County restrictions have made offering the community a direct connection to art difficult, but this has not stopped the museum’s staff from finding inventive solutions.

“We are the organization that could,” Executive Director Drew Oberjuerge said. “There is not one aspect of our mission-driven work we aren’t still doing, even during COVID and our mandatory closure of our building.”

The museum’s art education team has continued to provide classes to students throughout the pandemic. The organization’s Art-to-Go program, which works with the Riverside Unified School District, quickly transitioned to a virtual platform. Community youth education programs have also continued virtually.

In addition, the museum introduced KickstART Kits for youths between 5 and 12. Each kit includes instructions and supplies for five art projects. Kit themes include Animals, Art Around the World, Oceans of Fun, Desert and Winter, and they can be purchased on the museum’s website. There is also an option to donate a kit to at-risk youth.

The museum has organized several virtual exhibitions that are available on its website. A highlight includes Sheila Pree Bright’s “#1960Now,” which featuring Bright’s journey documenting the responses to police shootings in Atlanta, Ferguson, Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Baton Rouge. Her work shows young social activists taking a stand against the same struggles their parents and grandparents endured during the era of Jim Crow.

The museum has also taken art outside. From Oct. 31 to Nov. 7, an altar for Dia De Los Muertos was constructed by artists Cosme Cordova and Martin Sanchez with Eric Martinez, a museum staff member, on the facility’s front lawn. The community was invited to bring items in tribute to those they have lost during the coronavirus pandemic, placing them on the altar.

In October, the museum unveiled the University and Park Avenue Mural Project at Arci’s Candy. The museum received 70 applications for artists in an open call, choosing six artists with input from the community. The mural celebrates the story and diversity of the Eastside neighborhood.

“The Riverside Art Museum is committed to serving the community and making sure the arts are inspiring and connecting people including during challenges like COVID,” Oberjuerge said. “Our doors are closed, but that doesn’t mean we’ve packed it up.”

Recently, the museum received a grant through the Inland Empire Community Foundation. The museum is an independent non-profit facility that relies on donations and grants. Admissions, sales, class fees, and facility rentals also support its operations, income that has been impacted by the shutdown.

While the museum remains temporarily closed, it continues to look to the future. The museum plans to open as soon as restrictions are lifted and resume its in-person offerings.

The museum is also working toward the opening of the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture of the Riverside Art Museum. The center, which was proposed by the city of Riverside in partnership with RAM and Cheech Marin would transform the old Main Library building and convert it into a vibrant arts center housing Cheech Marin’s collection of Chicano art. The collection is expected to draw patrons from all over the world to downtown Riverside.

“The Riverside Art Museum — with our long history of being an independent non-profit through the good times and bad, and now with The Cheech — is a great example of what our community can accomplish together when we believe in what we do,” Oberjuerge said. “We believe that art inspires and builds community and we have never stopped.”

Mayor issues warning: Stay apart from each other, or Beltline, parks could close

A sign urging social distancing along the Beltline’s Eastside Trail, which has been a congregation point in recent days, as rains began to sweep the area Sunday. | Josh Green, Curbed Atlanta

To thwart the novel coronavirus, a stay-at-home order is possible, as closure of all bars, restaurants, and gyms is mandated

Almost every facet of life in Atlanta is being impacted by precautions to help stop the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), but crowded stretches of the Beltline in the past week could have lent the impression that little has changed.

Government officials including Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms have taken notice of large groups congregating along the Beltline and green spaces as the city awakens into spring.

“I don’t want us to get to the point we have to shut down the Beltline or close down or parks, but if people don’t heed the warnings to separate, to not congregate in large groups,” city officials could be left with no choice, Bottoms told WSB-TV in an interview today.

Bottoms announced last week she’s signed an executive order that will limit restaurants to take-out service. The move also closes all bars, gyms, and other gathering places, effective at midnight.

Per the AJC, Bottoms has informed the city council a stay-at-home order is ready to be issued but that state officials have asked for that to be delayed until a press conference scheduled this afternoon. Exceptions could be made for personal exercise and visits to pharmacies, groceries, home improvement stores, and liquor stores.

Bottoms also told WSB-TV that Grady Memorial Hospital has reached a “compromised state” with the next day or two being critical. It’s possible, she noted, that available hotel rooms downtown could be transformed into hospital space.

The Georgia Department of Public Health reports the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases across the state has climbed from 99 on Sunday, March 16 to 772 as of noon today, with 25 reported deaths in Georgia.

Fulton County currently has the most confirmed cases (145), followed by Cobb (79), and now DeKalb counties (75), per the public health department.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is expected to give a live COVID-19 update at 5 p.m. today.

State officials report that 5,069 coronavirus tests have been conducted as of noon today, with 772 positive and 4,297 negative.

Mayor Bottoms has also issued an executive order calling for a moratorium on residential evictions and filings for 60 days.

Cole’s Community Table initiative surpasses $17,000 in funds donated to local nonprofits

Whether it's puppies adopted over dinner or funding new art supplies for children, Coles 735 Main monthly fundraising program gives back to local community

MEDIA CONTACTS

Debbie Pappadakes – [email protected]

Cole Arimes – [email protected]

LEXINGTON, KY (June 10, 2019) – In just a year and a half, what started out as Lexington restaurant owner Cole Arimes’ brainstorm of how to give back to the Bluegrass community has grown into an ongoing fundraising program with major numbers behind it.

Cole’s Community Table - the monthly benefit initiative held at one of Lexington's premier destinations for innovative local cuisine and Southern hospitality, Coles 735 Main - has generated more than $17,000 in fundraising for the city's nonprofit organizations since it first began at the end of 2017.

The Community Table program goes beyond donations, however. It is the restaurant's effort to build connections in the local community: between people, businesses, and occasionally even animals. The May benefit dinner for the Lexington Humane Society resulted in a dinner guest's adoption of a rescue dog the organization had brought to the gazebo that evening.

The initiative had been an idea of Executive Chef and Owner Cole Arimes long before the first dinner was held. The motivation all circles back to one thing: a way to show gratitude to Lexington’s people.

“Lexington has always been home for me, but when I moved back to open Coles 735 Main in 2012, I was amazed at the welcome from the community,” said Arimes. “Even today, the local support is humbling. We recently sustained some fallen tree damage to our roof at Coles and everyone from passerby to our regulars rallied to help. And from the moment we opened our new restaurants – Epping’s on Eastside and Poppy & Olive – earlier this year, the interest has been incredible. The Cole’s Community Table program is one of the ways we can continue to give back and say thank you to our local community.”

Each month, the restaurant partners with a different local nonprofit to host a benefit dinner. The Coles team promotes each month’s event and then donates 15-20 percent of all restaurant proceeds from the evening to the selected nonprofit.

Dozens of local nonprofits have benefited from the Cole’s Community Table initiative, including: The Nest, The Children’s Advocacy Center, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, Girls on the Run Lexington, the Lexington Humane Society, FoodChain, Kentucky Interpreters and Translators Association and Visually Impaired Preschool Services, among others.

Upcoming Community Table dinners include:

- June 14: Allegro Dance Project

- August 26: Access Language Solutions

Those interested in becoming a Cole’s Community Table partner should reach out directly to the restaurant at [email protected].

Every year, NYTW inducts several upcoming artists as “2050 Fellows.” The fellows are titled for the year by which the US Census Bureau expects the country’s population will rise to 439 million and will contain no single racial or ethnic majority; their work reflects this multiplicity of perspectives, challenging the dominant paradigm and giving voice to those not often heard. Read about the 2017-2018 “2050 Fellows” below.

DSKC Spring Open Studios

FB invite: https://www.facebook.com/events/338765930177619/

SATURDAY, MAY 11TH, 2019 — Drugstore Kansas City (DSKC) will hold our final Open Studios in the Katz Building at 3948 Main Street. The Drugstore was purchased via auction in 2012 by Redeemer Fellowship. Since then, The Drugstore has served as a creative stronghold in the community by providing affordable studio space for artists to develop their skills, make and exhibit work, experiment with ideas, and be part of a vibrant community. In addition to the studio spaces, the gallery space has housed numerous fundraisers, exhibitions, performances, readings, concerts, music shows, and art lessons. Past events include Front/Space’s Annual HOT HANDS, Rocket Grants, Informality and Cut Your Hair in the Socialist Style, KC Urban Potter’s Midwest Pottery Fest, Talk Shop, and KC Zine Con to name a few. Residents represent and are affiliated with various arts organizations across town including Kansas City Art Institute, Charlotte Street Foundation, Artists of Color Alliance, Open House, Front/Space, Alter, Informality, Art in the Loop, Kansas City Repertory Theatre, Imagine That! And more. Through this involvement, The Drugstore has become an integral part of the Kansas City arts community. Sadly, the Katz Building will be sold this summer thus marking the end of DSKC in its current location. In addition to our final Open Studio at this location, DSKC artists have numerous events planned throughout the summer and residents are actively collaborating to find another space. With recent artist space closures, we are interested in cultivating a city-wide conversation on how spaces like DSKC can provide a model of self-perpetuating artistic community that merges city and artist needs. Please join our twenty-six artists to celebrate the DSKC evolution and seven years of Open Studios at the Katz building! For this final event we are pleased to also host a recital by members of the UMKC Conservatory. Open Studios is generously supported by Stockyards Brewing Co., a craft brewery located historic Stockyards District of the West Bottoms. Yerba Mate will provide beverages as well. OPEN STUDIOS EVENTS IN GALLERY & MULTIMEDIA ROOM — Kota Hayton with the UMKC Conservatory has curated sound sculptures, installations, and a screening in the multimedia room located on the eastside of the DSKC building and in the front gallery space with a recital at 7pm in the gallery. The multimedia room will house the Community Synthesizer sound sculpture, as well as video art by Colin Mosley. The Community Synthesizer is a box with 4 stations of controls, and 4 spots for participants to lay their hands. Playing the sculpture without the full amount of people will leave the participants with a distorted sound; it takes all 4 people to come lay their hands on the sculpture together for the tone to turn pure and be playable. There will be 4 speakers in each corner of the room, so that all participants can hear the sculpture equally. The video art will be projected onto the white space on the wall. We are hoping for the projections to be influenced by the sounds made by the sound sculpture. In the main gallery will be 3 Trash Chimes: Wheels, Strips, and Fans and Bikes. These sound sculptures are chime-like structures made from found materials in a junkyard, amplified by contact microphones through two speakers at the front of the room. Paintings and prints by Jacob Wold will be hanging in the gallery, with the recital performed at 7pm. The recital will include acoustic and electronic music, poetry reading, and dance. The sculptures will be turned off for the duration of the recital (approx. 45 minutes to an hour long). DSKC RESIDENTS — Alex Savage Amy Hixson Andrew Erdrich Andrew Ordonez Boi Boy Brandon Forrest Frederick Carmen Moreno Damon and Kari Heybrock Don Wilkison Dylan Mortimer Emily Cramer Francisco Gabuardi Montealegre Fredy Gabuardy Freed Glyneisha Johnson Kate Horvat Max Wagner Megan Pobywajlo Melaney Mitchell Patricia Bordallo Dibildox Patricia Graham Poet Jen Harris Whitney Manney William Plummer William Toney Yulie Urano

From Fort Mac to Dunwoody, 12 Atlanta projects to watch in 2020

Keep an eye on Midtown, where several block-altering projects like Midtown Union are underway. | Granite Properties, via Midtown Alliance

Across the city, big changes are in store for the new year

While it’s easy for development wonks to drool over activity in crane-studded areas such as Midtown, major real estate projects abound across metro Atlanta right now.

This year, expect progress with colossal adaptive-reuse projects, skyline-altering new construction, and, in some cases, a hybrid of the two. The future promises an Atlanta that’s taller, denser, and, ideally, more vibrant.

Below are a few projects worth keeping on your radar as so much heavy machinery does its thing in 2020.

Star Metals

Star Metals Atlanta

Stacked like a pile of books on a bedside table, the offices at Star Metals are expected to impress.

A mixed-use district evolving in West Midtown, the Star Metals complex features modern architecture that just oozes originality. Now under construction, the 14-story Star Metals Offices stack is expected to open on Howell Mill Road later this year.

Across the street, 409 apartments (above, at left) are projected to be tenant-ready this summer.

Quarry Yards

Urban Creek Partners/Quarry Yards

One example of development that embraces nature.

Little news has emerged lately about the Westside project that could deliver $400 million of new development in just its first 27-acre phase, apart from a groundbreaking that was scheduled for November. Still, its importance is tough to overstate.

Sited just south of Bellwood Quarry and the under-construction Westside Park—primed to become the city’s largest public green space—Quarry Yards is slated to bring retail, apartments, and a 300-key hotel. All said and done, the community, in development by baseball star-turned developer Mark Teixeira’s Urban Creek Partners, would straddle the Proctor Creek Greenway and neighbor the Beltline’s Westside Trail.

Midtown Union

Cooper Carry

The most recent vision for Midtown Union.

Unlike its much anticipated neighbor project, No. 2 Opus Place, the colossal mixed-use development Midtown Union is undergoing bona fide construction.

Sited at the corner of Midtown’s 17th and Spring streets, the development promises more than 600,000 square feet of office space within a 26-story tower, an 18-floor residential building with 355 apartments atop eight levels of parking, a newly announced 12-story hotel, and 30,000 square feet of retail. Kind of a big deal for a section of town that’s long been marred by surface parking.

Assembly

Expect a lot from the Perimeter area this year.

The north side of Atlanta’s Interstate 285 Perimeter is on fire—development wise, that is—and Doraville is no exception. Spearheaded by the Integral Group, Assembly, a mini-city that’s expected to grow from a former General Motors plant site, is just one example of the area’s rapid urbanization.

Expect 165 acres of housing, office space, restaurants and retail, and entertainment options eventually. (The film hub Third Rail Studios was completed in the first phase, along with an office component.) This year, a food hall by Paces Properties and an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema—a Texas-based movie theater company—should start to materialize, with openings expected in early 2021.

Pullman Yard

Part of the Pullman Yard apartments proposal submitted to the City of Atlanta’s Urban Design Commission in late 2019.

Progress has been sluggish, but the future holds much promise for this former Kirkwood rail yard. Owned by Atomic Entertainment, a film production group doubling as real estate developers, the project is now called the Pratt-Pullman District.

The more than $100 million overhaul of the 27-acre site is expected to be part movie studio, part live-work-play space. Atomic head Adam Rosenfelt told Curbed Atlanta in November that Alliance Residential is taking over part of the property, with plans to build three apartment buildings—with some affordable units—that could be move-in ready by early 2022.

Norfolk Southern HQ

Midtown Alliance

Expect a shiny new addition to Midtown’s skyline.

Under construction since March, railroad giant Norfolk Southern’s potentially $575 million Midtown headquarters is rumored to open later this year.

Though holding your breath isn’t advisable, this Cousins Properties project is sure to make a mark on the subdistrict’s skyline and landscape. Plans call for a glassy, two-tower building spanning some 750,000 square feet, 13,000 square feet of retail—with a “food hall-style dining facility”—sprawling green spaces on rooftops and at street-level, and a 24/7 fitness center. Officials have previously said it’s all slated to open in mid-2021.

King Memorial MARTA TOD

MARTA

Plans for Atlanta’s next mixed-use project next to a train station.

At long last, this Grant Park transit-oriented development seems primed to break ground next to the King Memorial MARTA train station.

The more than $60 million project by the development team of Place Properties and Russell New Urban Development would comprise 300 new apartments—100 of which would be earmarked as “affordable” units—and 10,000 square feet of new retail space where underutilized surface parking exists today.

High Street

More density planned along the Perimeter.

Expect serious signs of progress at the site across the street from the Dunwoody MARTA Station and catty-corner to Dunwoody’s massive State Farm campus later this year.

The potentially $2 billion High Street project, if realized, would deliver a roughly 8 million-square-foot mixed-use destination, comprised of 400,000 square feet of restaurants and retail, 635,000 square feet of high-end office space, 1,500 apartments, and a 400-key hotel. Also, a public park.

760 Ralph McGill

New City Properties

The behemoth project could soon begin work along the Beltline’s Eastside Trail.

Proposed by the minds behind Poncey-Highland’s 725 Ponce office block and the “Beltline Kroger” beneath it, this Old Fourth Ward venture would bring serious density to the Eastside Trail—on a scale not yet seen with new construction.

Sited at 760 Ralph McGill Boulevard, the New City Properties project is moving forward and scheduled to break ground soon. Expect 1,100 residences, more than a million square feet of office space, 200,000 square feet of retail offerings, and a 75-key boutique hotel.

The MET

Carter

Art and culture aplenty are expected at The MET.

Developer Carter, recently known for its ongoing overhaul of Atlanta’s Summerhill neighborhood, is also currently transforming the 1.1 million-square-foot former cotton warehouse built by Coca-Cola cofounder Asa Candler.

Officials hope The MET will ultimately evolve into the “cultural engine of Atlanta” for locals. The complex has already claimed myriad creative tenants, such as the once-displaced art gallery Mammal Gallery. Expect award-winning barbecue at the site this spring.

Interlock

The Interlock

An early concept for the mammoth project.

Under construction in West Midtown, developer S.J. Collins’s Interlock mixed-use venture would bring some $450 million of new construction to the area.

Scheduled to begin opening this fall, it’s ultimately expected to feature roughly 200,000 square feet of office space, 100,000 square feet of retail, 350 apartments, and 70 single-family homes. Preliminary work has also begun on a 161-key boutique hotel that would ascend roughly 13 stories. Puttshack, an indoor putt-putt concept from London, has signed on to open at Interlock this year.

Fort Mac

Fort Mac LRA

The old Army base could see new life in 2020.

Marred by leadership shakeups and squabbles with the City of Atlanta, the redevelopment of former U.S. Army base Fort McPherson is somewhat up in the air, but it’s still a key site to watch.

Now called Fort Mac, the Southwest Atlanta property—at least, the 145 acres not owned by film mogul Tyler Perry—is poised to come alive with a mix of residences, retail, arts spaces, and more. The potentially $25 million first phase could kick off construction this year.
