For 20 years, Art, Beats + Lyrics has captivated audiences nationwide by amplifying the voices of both renowned and emerging visual artists. To celebrate this milestone, its primary figures—Jabari Graham and Dwayne “Dubelyoo” Wright—hosted a special weekend in its home city of Atlanta, and also released the highly-anticipated film that documents the brand’s journey from day one.

Directed by independent filmmaker Bill Horace, the documentary shares an intimate look at AB+L’s two-decade-long commitment to artistic innovation and cultural diversity, highlighting the transformative power of art, music, and community. It also chronicles the respective journeys of Graham and White, and how they connected after Jabari’s first Art, Beats + Lyrics showcase at The Five Spot in Little Five Points.
