Thank you for supporting ART PARTY 2015!
Inspired by our urban location in the heart of Atlanta’s historic Westside, we held an old-school outdoor block party where we took over Means Street and our entire campus!
The Night’s Happenings
Art. Music. Food. Drinks.
Purchase a cocktail or beverage at one of our many on-site bars, enjoy tastes from local restaurants, and view the three fall solo exhibitions opening in our galleries with ART PARTY: John Riepenhoff, Marlon Mullen, and Aleksandra Domanović.
Artists. Community.
Head out to our backyard Studio Artist courtyard for Open Studios! Studio hop, mingle and meet the artists that work on site at Atlanta Contemporary! Music by Soul Spin and his youth DJs spin out back until 10pm.
Participating artists for open studios: Steven L. Anderson, Joe Camoosa, Stephanie Dowda, Sarah Emerson, Jane Garver, Kojo Griffin, Dana Haugaard, Beth Lilly, Jan Rattia, Nathan Sharratt, and Christina West.
Block Party.
Bring your friends to freestyle ROLLER SKATE on our pavilion all night! No socks, no worries – purchase neon socks (and neon necklaces) on site and glow beneath disco lights. Skate, shoe, and bag check available (free skate rental provided). The Atlanta Rollergirls will be here to skate and take those block-rocking pictures with you! Atlanta’s own Ree De La Vega deejays the flyest summer hits!
ROCK THE BLOCK with a headline performance in our front plaza with Montreal-based NARCY at 10pm! This is NARCY’s first performance in the Southeast. Yassin “NARCY” Alsalman, formerly known as the Narcicyst, is a musician, actor, professor and multi media artist. He has toured the world with his first solo LP, performing on stages at major film and music festivals from Dubai to Melbourne.
Immediately following, dance the night away on the main stage with 1,500 of your closest friends with a special music set by NARCY and DJ and producer Sandhill! Special and limited edition NARCY merch and albums will be available for sale the night of ART PARTY.
ART PARTY is Atlanta Contemporary’s signature annual fundraising party. Your ticket supports our exhibitions, public programs, and Studio Artist Program all year. Pay to ART PARTY and celebrate free admission starting September 1.
