Join us for our annual fundraiser - a night in which our whole campus is transformed with programming on the pavilion, special presentations throughout the campus, soon to-be-revealed secrets, and of course, Open Studios with our 14 artists in the Studio Artist Program.

Our Programs

Spend your Thursdays at Atlanta Contemporary! Admission is free – cash bar – there’s always something happening every Thursday evening from 6 to 8pm.

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 approachable media and hands-on activities.

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.

Contemporary Off-Site are exhibitions and programs that take place outside of the galleries.

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