The pop-up studio is not just about expansion but also a celebration of the creative energy Cam Kirk Studios brings to Atlanta. Cam Kirk expressed his feelings about the new location. “We are super excited to expand our footprint to the northside and the exciting Battery community,” Kirk said. “Being recognized by Truist and having the opportunity to be one of the first Black-owned small businesses to have a residency inside the Truist Community Corner is truly an honor,” Kirk said.
He hopes that this new location will introduce their work to a broader audience and inspire more people to join their creative community. “We’re celebrating seven years, and this is a major way to mark the occasion by expanding our footprint,” said Kirk. “We hope that new individuals and a new community of people come in and see what we’ve been doing downtown.”
