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 shines a light on exceptional artist-run spaces operating in the South. Located in Gallery 5, 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 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 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.

Movement Love introduces movement programming alongside collaborating audio and visual artists. Installations and interactive media define curated classes that blend movement with live projection, music, film, therapeutic resources and conversation for community building.
