Evolve! artists live, Inc. in partnership with WonderRoot brings to you Ministers Of Sound, an upcoming tribute celebrating the contributions of deejays and deejay culture.
Ministers of Sound is an photographic art installation celebrating the contributions of deejays and deejay culture; exploring the cornerstones of history, dedication, perseverance, and connection to the global culture.
Atlanta’s inaugural Ministers Of Sound, aims to initiate an annual creative installation of art fusion that celebrates and identifies with DJs and DJ culture.
The Ministers Of Sound art installation, scheduled to open January 2010, features a photographic art exhibition intended to inspire the greater community by integrating a parallel and creative contrast, further examining the role of the deejay and emphasizing their historical importance, hence its title, Ministers Of Sound.
