Our Programs

Spend Thursday evening at Atlanta Contemporary! Every month we invite a Mixologist-in-Residence to craft unique, signature cocktails. Bar is credit only.

Contemporary Talks connects audiences with some of the most influential national thinkers and doers in art and culture working today.

A free and interactive family-friendly program, Contemporary Kids introduces children to contemporary art and artists through hands-on activities.

Atlanta Contemporary shines a light on exceptional artist-run spaces operating in the South. Located in Gallery 6, we invite these spaces for a two month take over.

Contemporary Off-Site supports exhibitions, Members Only Excursions, and programs that take place outside Atlanta Contemporary's galleries.

ART PARTY is Atlanta Contemporary’s signature annual fundraising party. Ticket sales underwrite free admission, every day.

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



Movement Love, curated by Maggie Benoit, introduces movement programming alongside collaborating audio and visual artists.
