The Kickback is a creative collective based out of the city of Birmingham, Alabama. Their goal is to provide a platform and foster an atmosphere for the creative community here in Birmingham and surrounding areas. With “No Cigarettes”, the show's aim is to create an environment with great vibes for people to enjoy, a stage for local artists to highlight their craft, and support the new black owned retail space in the city.
The Exhibit Series

Gallery I
Gallery II
The Exhibit is an event series that provides a platform for creative artists here in Birmingham to showcase their talents. With curating events, my goal is organizing and executing impactful experiences that not only provide opportunities for the creative community but ensure the donation of money and/or necessities to local charities in need. I am proud to be able to give back in multiple ways and provide a space for creatives and non-creatives to come together.
Gallery I: The Mixer was a showcase featuring local painters, photographers, musicians, spoken word artists, and singers. Over $1000 in proceeds were donated to the Lupus Foundation in honor of my cousin who is a Lupus Warrior.
Gallery II: The Cypher was a creative networking event that contrasted the genres of hip hop & poetry in a live head-to-head confrontation. Local painters & photographers also exhibited off their work and proceeds were donated to the Sickle Cell Foundation in honor of a friend who is a Sickle Cell Warrior.

Virtues
Serving as a community outreach initiative and online platform dedicated to creating a community of artists; DoReMe Media Group is an online platform and community outreach initiative dedicated to creating a community of artists and encouraging crucial conversation as a means of propelling culture forward and challenging one’s perspective.
Vibes & Virtues is a platform to experience art and music in a unique way while creating a dialogue among unlikely strangers that can lead to powerful conversation. Vibes & Virtues comes from a place of uncertainty. We never really know what we're doing, we're only always trying to figure it out. Life is art, and art is an ongoing conversation that we all contribute to. The artist chooses to be aware and the conformist chooses to speak.
Stephen Smith Fine Art Gallery, January 26, 2018
