it’s amazing how at a event full of classy, beautiful people participating in a celebration of art and culture, this paper chose to photograph and display the most ridiculous and tacky participant at this event. This picture does not AT ALL represent the wide array of vendors, djs, african drummers and dancers,and vibrant art enthusiasts that were present on Saturday night. When I saw the heading, I was excited to see all of the above mentioned things reflected in these photos. Instead I was disgusted and disappointed.
thanks,
A REAL ART FUSION PARTICIPANT

I must agree with Queen Assata. Come on now… there were a whole lot of engaging elements that could have graced the pages, but I guess buffoonery and oddity is what you presume intrests your audiences minds the most…time to elevate.

They have a point here. Please do better reporting in the future. It deserves better.

This does not represent the Woodruff Arts Center, or the event and there was a lot of action to capture.
