ATLANTAVERSE

ART PARTY 2025


ART PARTY 2025!

It's that time of year again! The night will transform the campus with programming, special performances, and, of course, Open Studios featuring our artists in the Studio Artist Program.

THEME: AtlantaVerse

This year's ART PARTY theme is ATLANTAVERSE, which explores the concept of Atlanta's heritage and various boroughs as distinct, interconnected universes. Each universe is a unique space where creativity, culture, and community collide, all driven by the vibrant spirit of Atlanta. This year at ART PARTY, we celebrate the artists who bring these different realms to life, showcasing the many facets of Atlanta's past, present, and future.

The Night's Happenings

Join us for an unforgettable evening that supports Atlanta Contemporary's mission to maintain free Admission every day. Mix, mingle, and enjoy a cocktail by our esteemed bartenders with alcohol from our generous sponsors.

Artists. Community. Collect. Support.

Roam the campus and experience activations throughout the main galleries. Before you leave, don't forget to visit our SHOP, featuring curated artist-made goods, Nexus Press books, and an exclusive pop-up record store with Stokely’s Records!

As you step outside, explore any and every studio – engage, learn, inquire, and collect – supporting our celebrated artists participating in the Studio Artist Program.
