Last year, one of the largest talent agencies in Los Angeles announced it was opening an office here in Atlanta. The United Talent Agency represents elite professionals in the entertainment industry, from Will Ferrell to Wes Anderson. Two members of UTA are running the Atlanta office: Steve Cohen and Arthur Lewis. Lewis is partner and creative director of UTA Fine Arts and UTA Artist Space, and there are plans to open a gallery next year. He joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to talk more about UTA’s future in Atlanta.
