Last night, I Hear That Girl was in the building at the High Museum of Art right here in Atlanta, for the Art Experience with African Artist Ester Mahlangu. Short and petite, but a giant in art, this 80 year old artist shared artwork from her latest project with Belvedere Red, to celebrate 10 years of her life changing charity work. Many came out to support and learn Ester’s unique form of drawing and painting with feathers, as well as trying the new limited edition brand of Belvedere Red Vodka.
Those who attended the festivities had fun, learned new art techniques, took a tour of the art museum, and will even have their artwork signed by Mahlangu and mailed back to them. Attendees also enjoyed the cocktail reception that proceeded after the main event.
The unique pattern for the new vodka bottle was chosen by brand ambassador and R&B Superstar John Legend and Ester Mahlangu. The patterns reinterpreted the four campaign symbols which Mahlangu uses in her artwork. The symbols represent security, unity, change, and support which are the core values for the campaign which bring awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Ms. Mahlangu, “We hear that girl!”
