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.

Join us for a family-friendly art workshop as part of the Contemporary Kids program, where kids of all ages can explore their creativity and engage with the themes of contemporary art! During this workshop, artist Makiko Maekawa will guide young artists in creating their own contemporary art projects. Using a variety of materials like paint, paper, and objects, participants will explore how to express themselves through art.
SHAPESHIFTER Atlanta Contemporary x CommuneATL Tickets: $20 SHAPESHIFTER conjures notions of evolution, adaptation, and transformation—changing forms and shifting perspectives. This collaborative program with Commune explores the tension between hedonism vs. spirituality, the shifting “value” of musical forms—from spiritual jazz to punk, ambient to dance—and the constant striving toward something new. Commune is a place for people to connect around music, food, drinks, and culture. Enjoy a thoughtful program of DJ sets, live performances, film & lectures in a room designed for sound. Pair that with cocktails and wine from small producers, and a rotating menu of cosy continental food, freshly baked bread, and desserts.
Open Studios invites you to get to know the artists in our Studio Artist Program. Come see their work firsthand and just maybe add some art to your collection.
