Atlanta Contemporary presents a public opening celebration of its 2026 Winter/Spring exhibition cycle that explores storytelling, materiality, identity, and embodied experience across a wide range of contemporary art practices.
The cycle features the Georgia Women to Watch 2026: A Book Arts Revolution is curated by Cynthia Nourse Thompson, Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art, and explores how contemporary women artists are pushing the boundaries of book-based art practices. The featured artists include: Eliza Bentz, Hannah Israel, Cynthia Lollis, Serena Perrone, and Eileen Wallace.
The concurrent exhibitions are: Unbound Narratives: Embodied Language, a group show that brings together Bethany Collins, February James, a’driane nieves, and Gabi Madrid; Dokafleh by artist Brittany Adeline King; Bleed by Jean Shon; and A Litany for Shelter by Natalie Rose Eddings.
Visitors are invited to move through the galleries, engage with the work, grab a cocktail, and connect with artists and community members during this celebratory evening. The event is open to the public, and admission to Atlanta Contemporary is always free.
