The Three Cities Group is an artist collective, but not in the traditional sense. There is no central location or organizing idealogy, but instead a committee of individuals who coordinate the creation of projects and the exhibitions that artists participate in. There is also no criteria for which a person must qualify for membership into the group, other than their work must fit into an exhibition or other project, and they must be willing to participate and help in the realization of that project.
So what does that all mean? Well, simply put, everyone is part of Three Cities and no one is Three Cities. The group is writing a history and spawning events through the work of the it's own curatorial processes - which is all part of a work of art called The Three Cities Group. The exhibitions, the interaction with our audience, and the propaganda and artifacts produced from the events it brings into realization, are a collaborative yet singular vision.
Three Cities is an artist collective for the postmodern age, without a pure definition and with no clear agenda. We are a product of the imaginations of our audience and our artists. We are the manifestation of the media and propaganda that surrounds our endeavor. Our shows are not about the labels that we apply to them, but instead about the fact that they are even happening at all.
The vision for the future of the Three Cities is one that involves everyone we come in contact with. We are writing a history that will effect the future of art by simply making things happen today. We invite you to participate, to interact, to view and to comment. We invite criticism with the same zest as commendation. Please join us in this experiment...
We will be having a show in the spring to raise more money for the first every THREE CITIES GROUP SCHOLARSHIP to be awarded to an art student at MGC in Cochran, GA. Details coming soon!

i have a experimental piece i would like to submit to that gallery thing whatever. I guess I will call the number on the flyer....can I recieve my work back and should it already be framed or ready to hang?
Im glad to see you guys still rockin it down in mactown. I am slowly metting artist up here in Atlanta, and whenever I can get some scans I will most def let u guys see them.
But ultimitaley I am just trying to meet people up here and try and jump into the art crowd.
Heya :-), Im not sure if you was you or not that sent me a message earlier asking me how I make money online...well if it was you, I fill out online surveys. Infact last week I received another check for $263 all from doing four simple surveys (which took me no more than 15 minutes each to complete). It's been working very well for me, for I do as many as I can in my spare time. So I hope I answered all of your questions. If you still need more info or want to start, then go to their website -> PSEtc. And I'll keep you posted on any other good stuff I run across...ttyl and stay in touch. P.S. Your profile is cool btw :-)
hey, i was just dropping to buy to learn how i might join your street team and saw the comment below this. one of our artists, craig coleman, has all kinds of projectors. he used to show movies in the hall every first friday. i'm sure you can borrow one from him. what kind you looking for?
Let me get real with you guys...I don't even cough for less than 10 g's. Here's how it's going to go down, I want my own dressing room, a topless maxim model to feed me Tyson buffalo style chicken chunks, and 14 Nintendo Wiis. But seriously, I'd love to but I don't own my own projector. If you can find a working projector I'd love to use them for the show. LET'S DO THIS.
congratulations on your new found webness. 'tis such a lovely site, i couldn't help but touch myself when i looked at it. now i've got a mess to clean up. damn you.
Yes...everyone, the Scandal show was kick ass cool! I just want to thank everyone who helped us...especially Eric and Craig from CAEM and Regina, Donovan and Celeste for helping with the protest. If not for all those cats, this show might have gone to the birds!!!
