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, and of course, Open Studios with our artists in the Studio Artist Program.

The Night’s Happenings

Art. Music. Food. Drinks.

Join us for an amazing evening that underwrites Atlanta Contemporary’s vision to remain free admission, every day.

Mix, mingle, move around and enjoy a specialty cocktail provided by one of our esteemed Mixologists-in-Residence: Cole Tanner, Keyatta Mincey, Tiffanie Barriere and Mitchell Oliver.

Dance the night away with DJs King NappaLXXX YOU and TWINS.

Grab a complimentary bite to eat from local restaurants and caterers, including select food vendors selling late-night snacks after 10pm for credit. Choose from Eclipse di Luna, Sun in My Belly, 4Rivers Smokehouse, Moveable Feast, Aix, Legacy, or one of our other tasty caterers.

Artists. Community. Collect. Support.

Meander throughout the campus and explore new exhibition in the main galleries, Sliver Space, and Chute Space. Enjoy artworks from Bryan Graf, Emma McMillan, Wihro Kim, Bailey Scieszka, and COCO HUNDAY on their opening night. 

Before you venture out, be sure to check out our SHOP, featuring the team from Discrit who have curated a collection of publications sharing the theme of social issues relating to art theory, plus our hand-selected artist-made goods, books, and zines.

Then step outside and venture into any and every studio – peruse, learn, inquire, and collect – supporting our acclaimed artists participating in the Studio Artist Program.
