ART PARTY is Atlanta Contemporary’s signature annual fundraising party. Ticket sales support our exhibitions, public programs, and Studio Artist Program all year.

The annual Nexus Award is a public acknowledgment of those who have made significant contributions to the contemporary arts landscape of Atlanta.

Atlanta Contemporary wants to shine a light on some of the current crop of exceptional artist-run spaces operating in the south. Located in our former SHOP (Gallery 6), we invite these spaces for a two month take over - we look forward to seeing how these spaces reflect, expand, and update the ethos of our own early days.
