“If you're going to start something. Do it for the passion, do it because you want to do it, and the money will come, the resources will come. But do it to the best of your ability and just be true to yourself."

Artist Kevin “Scene” Lewis has taken his work around the world, from live painting at The National Hip-Hop Museum to having his work included in the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

We caught up with Scene to talk art, hip-hop, Little Richard, The Rich Flip, and the creative community he’s helping build right here in Macon.

Meet the artist Kein "Scene" Lewis in our latest Q&A.

"The only critique to offer on the evening is that our charming and knowledgeable server almost cleared a plate from the table when we still had a few olives left."

Come for the jamón ibérico. Stay because you completely forgot you had somewhere else to be.
We recommend a reservation, but the bar is first come, first served. Mostly, just get there however you can and don't let anyone take your remaining olives.
