Lead
Found in 2004 and running until January 2020 when the group had announced it's decision to end tART Collective, the group was the longest-running feminist art collective in the city. This group was created to help show support towards feminist content artists. During the years that tART has been active, membership had gone over two dozen members locally and internationally and served as a post-graduate plan.

The idea behind tART Collective is running a support group for artists who contributes to bring awareness of feminist and anti-racist ideas through the work of art. tART Collective contributes to different exhibits and events to reach their goal. Members of tART Collective holds personal studio visits for all the other members and use this opportunity to get reliable feedback from other artists. There are artists that had contributed towards this group that is still revolving their art work around these ideas.

Exhibits
tART Collective started a project to exhibits art works from members and the project was called "Collectively Assembled: 28 Visits, One Show." During this project, artists are encouraged to attend studio visits in which these artists are able to select a work from the studio visit and select their own piece that they believe respond to the selected work from the studio visit. After doing studio visits, members of tART Collective then interpret what the artist feels and their response to the other member's work.

This exhibit that was presented in Atlanta was inspired by the article, "How Can White Women Include Women of Color In Feminism?" Is A Bad Question. Here's Why," where members of tART Collective include pieces that help dismantle white supremacy.

Conclusion
This group brought hope towards these artists that wants to make an effort to make a statement about these feminist and anti-racial issue in our society. tART Collective gave these artist an opportunity to share their work with the public by hosting exhibits.
